The joyous festival of lights also has an end, the colorful Qingcheng fell into darkness with time, and when everyone was exhausted from playing and fell asleep on the bed, there was a small boat with a black roof in the direction of Qingni Village sailing towards Qingcheng on the dark water.

The boat was still fifty feet away from the pier, and a black shadow jumped up from the boat, and swept across the sparkling water, and after a few breaths, he stood on the pier, and the waves that spread out on his toes to both sides were still rippling, and the figure had disappeared.

The man in black stood in front of the palace gate, his dark pupils did not have a trace of humanity, and when the night breeze shook the Luohan fir in the marble flower bed at the door, the front of the mansion was already empty, and there was no half a figure.

The whole palace was quiet, only the sound of people snoring and breathing while sleeping.

Suddenly, a sharp scream sounded in the house, but it stopped abruptly in an instant. Immediately after that, candlelight lit up from the side by side rooms, screams came and went, and the candles in more than 20 rooms in the house were all lit, and people rushed out of the houses one after another.

The entire royal garden was in chaos, and the sharp screams were endless, which was so creepy in this quiet dark night.

Everyone is running for their lives, but they can't escape the clutches of death anyway, the beautiful palace garden has fallen into hell at this time, and the delicate and blooming flowers are dyed with hot blood, which adds a bit of enchantment, and the former magnificent Wang family has become a mass grave.

After a long time, one person pushed open the gate of Wang's house and walked out, returned to the dock, jumped on the boat, and floated towards Qingni Village.

The next day, horrific news spread throughout the city.

Qingni Village was attacked by bandits, burning down most of the village's houses and killing most of the villagers.

Although this news shocked the people of Qingcheng, it was only used as a verbal topic of conversation during meals and tea. After all, it was far away, and I didn't feel like it would endanger myself, and I didn't panic much.

However, the inn restaurant owner in the city and Qingni Village who has set a long-term fish market deal is unlucky, Qingni Village is the only source of supply of fish, shrimp and crabs, if something happens to their partners, it is a cold lip and tooth, although it is not fatal, but it is inevitable that the vitality will be greatly damaged.

Therefore, everyone began to think of various ways to find a relationship to catch up with the supply chain that has not yet been broken in the fish market, and did everything possible to curry favor, invite dinner, and "pay compensation for land cutting".

Those who have good luck and the supply source is not cut off The boss will naturally wake up with a smile in his dreams, and take advantage of this opportunity to slaughter a fortune.

The first piece of news made the people of Qingcheng talk about it as an after-dinner conversation and relish, but the second news made them unable to sit still.

The palace at the east wharf of Qingcheng was attacked by thugs, and none of the 27 people in the house were spared, even the big yellow dog tied to the gang was also brutally murdered.

Everyone in Qingcheng is in danger, because this tragedy happened around them, how can they calm down?

What if that thug also rushed into their house one night and killed them? The people of Qingcheng fell into a panic, and some people had already packed their belongings and were ready to take their mothers and children away.

The poor are afraid of death, and the rich are even more afraid of death, because they haven't enjoyed enough and are reluctant to go to Yama's grandfather so early to report.

After learning the news that the Wang family was bloodbathed by thugs overnight, these rich bosses were almost scared one by one, and they all stayed at home and did not dare to go out, thinking about how to save their lives.

Some people were really afraid of death, and after receiving the news that the Wang family was baptized in blood, they immediately packed up their belongings, hired a team and more than a dozen bodyguards, and said they would leave.

The bosses who didn't leave were not idle, and began to spend money on relationships, find masters to protect themselves, and posted notices to recruit wise men from all over the world.

So, out of nowhere, many self-proclaimed masters like Zhang Long and Zhao Hu jumped out of nowhere, and volunteered to protect these rich and noble men who were afraid of death.

The city guard He Wang was not idle, and sent all his team members to investigate the case with a thunderous force.

said that it was an investigation, but in fact, the main thing was to let them suppress the panic caused by this tragedy as soon as possible, first appease the emotions of the people in the city, and make them feel that everything was still under He Wang's control, and a single thug could not run rampant under his nose at all.

When Xu Daoyun got up early and went downstairs for breakfast, he saw Meng Jia serving tea and water to the guests, so he also found an empty table to sit down and poured a cup of tea.

Meng Jia made a free hand, she came to Xu Daoyun's table, and said in a low voice: "Hey, do you know, the Wang family at the East Wharf was all killed overnight last night. ”

Her words were both expected and unexpected by Xu Daoyun, and she shook her head, "I don't know." ”

Meng Jia seemed to be very interested in this matter, and continued: "Hey, you don't know, what I heard from the guests is terrifying, all the people of the Wang family are dead, the whole garden is red, and even the yellow dog who is guarding the door in the house is not spared. ”

Her face turned red, obviously a little angry, "It's really hateful, who is so vicious, no one will let go." I really hope that Lord Castle Guard can catch him as soon as possible, otherwise wouldn't the people of the Wang family die in vain?"

"That's right. Although Xu Daoyun answered her, his attention didn't seem to be on it at all.

Meng Jia hugged the wooden plate in her hand and asked with a smile, "What should you eat?"

"Just the previous few Qingcheng specialties. ”

"Okay, the guest officer will come later, and the wine and food will be here soon. Meng Jia turned around and walked into the room.

Xu Daoyun sighed, he had already guessed last night that Zhao Ji would definitely go to the Wang family to ask for an explanation, but he never expected him to be so ruthless, he actually slaughtered the Wang family, and even the innocent yellow dog who watched the gang was murdered, which was really unconscionable.

The fate of the Wang family shows that Zhao Ji is a wicked person who kills people like drinking water, but his tenderness when facing his wife is sincerely revealed.

Such a person really deserves to die, but it is not Xu Daoyun's turn to do it, first, he can't beat him, and second, everyone in the world has luck.

Although Zhao Ji has killed countless people, God still gave him the opportunity to be a new man, although his child died, but he still left her wife a life, which also shows that God will never give people a dead end, cutting grass will definitely leave roots, as for his future fate, there is no way to know.

If nothing else, this cold-blooded killer will spend the second half of his life in a small fishing village, but these things have nothing to do with Xu Daoyun, what he has to do now is to wait for Meng Jia to send the wine and food, and then go to the city guard mansion to divide the Song family's property, and then return to Yun Weisi to hand over the task and receive the reward.

After breakfast, Xu Daoyun came to the city guard mansion, and after the doorman was cleared, he entered the main hall, He Wang stood up from the first place and greeted him, "Lord Xu, here." ”

Xu Daoyun bowed his hand and said with a smile: "There was a tragedy in the city, and Lord He still has to be distracted by my affairs, so I really don't want to go." ”

"Where, where, my lord's words are serious. He Wang politely took out a sandalwood box from the Qiankun bag and handed it over, "My lord, I have sent half of the Song family's property to the silver number and the money village to exchange it for silver tickets, a total of 10,000 taels of silver and 1,700 taels of gold." ”

Xu Daoyun took the box, didn't open the count, and directly put it into the Qiankun bag, and said with a smile: "There is Lord Laohe, by the way, I will also say goodbye to my lord this time." ”

"Lord Xu, are you leaving?" He Wang asked.

Xu Daoyun nodded, "Yes, there is still official business, it is inconvenient to stay for a long time, if he is free in the future, he will come to visit Lord He again." ”

He Wang bowed his hand and sent Xu Daoyun away.

Although it hurts him to give away so much money, it is worth it to be able to break the fortune and eliminate the disaster.

Xu Daoyun returned to Fengteng Restaurant and asked Meng Jia to prepare ten catties of beef and mutton to wrap.

Meng Jia asked, "Are you leaving?"

Xu Daoyun nodded, "Yes, I have to rush back to hand over the errand." ”

After a while, Meng Jia piled a few packets of oiled paper on the table and took a few bags of wine, "My lord, the wine and meat are ready." ”

Xu Daoyun put all of them into the Qiankun bag and asked, "Calculate, how much." ”

Meng Jia shook her head and said softly: "No, I will repay you for your kindness." ”

"I didn't do anything. Xu Daoyun refused.

Meng Jia said seriously: "If it weren't for you last night, my father and I might have been poisoned by those two wicked people, but you are our savior." ”

The shopkeeper Meng behind the desk also said: "Yes, Lord Xu, I have heard Xiaojia say, if it were not for you, my father and daughter would probably not be able to live, this is our little heart, you can accept it." ”

Xu Daoyun had no choice but to agree, and then followed Meng Jia to the stable to get the horse.

Xu Daoyun turned over on his horse, grabbed the reins, and smiled at Meng Jia, who was standing not far away looking up at him, "I'm leaving." ”

Meng Jia also showed a smile and said softly: "Okay, be careful all the way." ”

Xu Daoyun didn't stay any longer, flicked the reins, turned out of the stable, and disappeared from Meng Jia's sight.

A few days later, Xu Daoyun rushed back to Qingping County, he did not stop, and rushed towards the stronghold of Wunan Fengyun Weisi.

Today's Cloud Guards were extremely deserted, and except for the Green Banner Guards guarding the mountain, there were almost no other Green Banner Guards and Little Flag Masters in sight.

Xu Daoyun came to the task building to submit the task, and after receiving the contribution, the middle-aged Qingqiwei who was in charge said: "The commander has an order, and all the Qingqiwei who return to hand over the task need to immediately rush to Wangsijiang to assist in retreating the enemy." ”

Xu Daoyun frowned, thinking to himself why it was Wangsi River again? Puzzled: "Hasn't the flood disaster in Wangsi River already allocated two silver taels for the revitalization of the disaster, could it be that the bandits came down the mountain to rob the wealth?"

The middle-aged young Qiwei shook his head and said: "This year's rain is scarce, and it is strange that there is a sudden flood in the Wangsi River. ”

"The commander sent three waves of people to Wangsi River, but to no avail, so he had to go in person. Yesterday, he sent someone to send back a letter, ordering all the returning Qingqiwei to go to Wangsi River immediately without delay. ”

"Water Monster?"

Xu Daoyun was taken aback, although she knew that there were no surprises in the world, it was the first time he had heard of the news about demons, and he was inevitably a little curious and frightened.

After leaving the mission building, he went to the Treasure Pavilion to exchange all the contributions for purple spirit crystals, and then took the heads of Wu Gao and Sun Kai to the county government to receive the reward.

The county government is also deserted, and I think I should have gone to Wangsi River.

Sun Kai and Wu Gao are wanted criminals, and the reward amount is quite high, and the magistrate is not in the county government at this time, so no one can be the master.

Xu Daoyun had no choice but to leave with the heads of the two and rode to the Drunken Immortal Tower.

Chen Ning, who was lying on a rattan chair reading a book, raised his eyes and said strangely: "Eh, junior brother Daoyun, have you broken through the Qi Refining Realm?"

Xu Daoyun grinned, "I was lucky with Tupo, and I almost lost my life." ”

Chen Ning said with a smile: "It seems that your mission this time is quite thrilling, but if you don't die in a big disaster, there will be a blessing in the future, and you have broken through the Qi refining realm now, which is really gratifying." ”

She closed the ten books and smiled like a flower, "Looking at the water demon rampant in the Sijiang River, your commander rushed with a large group of small flag masters and Qingqi guards, and the junior brother Daoyun is still free to come to my Drunken Immortal Tower, aren't you afraid of being punished?"

Xu Daoyun smiled bitterly: "I just came back, and I haven't even drunk the soup yet, so I'm going to leave again." After going out for these days, I really miss Sister Chen Ning's drunken immortal brew, so I brought a few pots to drink on the road before leaving. ”

Chen Ningliu frowned, and said with a grudge on her face: "You just want to drink, don't you want me?"

Xu Daoyun pouted and said, "Sister Chen Ning, don't be kidding, I want ten pots of drunken immortal brew, and another ten catties of beef and mutton to pack." ”

Chen Ning pursed his lips and smiled, instructed someone to prepare, and then asked: "You are a sword cultivator, you can use the flying sword magic power when you reach the Qi Refining Realm, if you need a flying sword, Sister Chen Ning can find one for you at a fair price." ”

Xu Daoyun said: "Is there any difference between a flying sword and a sword?"

"Of course there is a difference, the sword is the sword of sword cultivation, and it can't be left from the body. Moreover, using an ordinary sword to perform the technique of flying swords, the effect is mediocre, and it can only be called the art of imperial objects, not the technique of flying swordsmanship. ”

Xu Daoyun asked, "What's so special about that flying sword?"

Chen Ning explained: "Flying swords, which are much shorter and more delicate than sabers, and all have their own characteristics, they are specially used to perform the art of flying swords. ”

"What features?"

"There are many characteristics of flying swords, such as some flying swords are extremely fast, some can hide their whereabouts, and some can create illusions. ”

"The choice of a flying sword has to be decided according to the characteristics of your own cultivation exercises, if you need it, Madam Fengxian has a few swords. ”

Xu Daoyun thought for a moment, shook his head and said, "That's it, because I'm not in a hurry, thank you Sister Chen Ning, I'll find a way to get one myself in the future." ”

"Okay. ”

Not long after, ten pots of drunken immortal brew and ten catties of beef and mutton were ready, Xu Daoyun paid two silver taels, put all of them into the Qiankun bag, said goodbye to Chen Ning, rode out of Qingping County, and rushed in the direction of Wangsi River.

How could there be water demons for no reason? Moreover, it also alarmed the entire Qingping County's Yunwei Division and the county government to go out, thinking that there must be a large number of water demons, so it is necessary to keep increasing the number of people.

Xu Daoyun was curious, and he also wanted to see what the legendary water demon looked like.

Since ancient times, demons and demons have not been separated, and the two clans seem to have a hostile relationship when they exist, and for thousands of years, the contradictions that the two clans have only seen have not been resolved over time, but have increased day by day.

Today, the contradictions between the two clans of shemales and the prejudice between each other have reached an unprecedented level.

The Terran demon clan is tense, and it seems that a shemale war will start at any time.
