Later, Ji Nan sent some guards to search in the city and near Fancheng, but they did not find any trace of the original city lord Murong Shui and his son Murong Xue, and several people determined that Murong Shui and Murong Xue had fled from Fancheng. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

In view of the threat of the remaining four hundred and seventy black shadows, Ji Nan decided to continue to search for Murong Shui and Murong Xue's traces, in case the people sent by the clan swooped down on the seventeenth peak of the Hengduan Mountain Range, he could also be prepared.

In addition, Ji Nan found that the people left in Fancheng by the Blue Flower Chimquin Clan were almost wiped out by the nine black shadows, and the remaining few seriously injured would take a long time to recover.

After Ji Nan and the others entered the City Lord's Mansion, they immediately announced the crimes of the city lord Murong Shui to the people, and announced that Ji Nan of the Blue Flower Chimbarb Clan would officially act as the city lord.

In addition to dealing with the day-to-day affairs of the city, this battle in the city took a heavy toll on the common people. It just so happened that when the guards were inspecting the City Lord's Mansion, they found a large number of gold, silver, jade and spirit stones, all of which were deducted from the offerings to be handed over to the Blue Flower Chimbarbs over the years, adding up to millions of spirit stones.

Ji Nan turned all the gold and silver utensils into gold and silver and distributed them to the ordinary people who suffered losses, and rewarded some of the spirit stones to the guards who remained, and most of the remaining spirit stones were transported back to Tongcheng by Ji Nan through the messenger gate.

And these remaining guards were renumbered and assigned tasks, and they also stayed in the City Lord's Mansion, but the treatment was much better than before, and they were all because they followed Luo Tianxing, so most of the people were very grateful to Luo Tianxing, and Luo Tianxing retreated the reasons for all kinds of benefits to Lin Xi, and let them thank Lin Xi, he was just one of the beneficiaries.

When the busy people stopped, they suddenly found that it was already dark, and Lin Xi, who had been tracking Bai Chi, had not come back after a day, but fortunately, several people believed in the cultivation and strength of the old man Ling Xuzi, so they were not very worried.

Just when a few people were about to rest, they suddenly heard a few guards say that they saw a few suspicious guards probing their brains, because they were not sure whether the matter was important or not, they didn't dare to disturb Ji Nan easily, so they had to go to Luo Tianxing to talk about it first, Luo Tianxing had to let them arrest people, but no matter how they interrogated, these two monks didn't say anything, only said that they wanted to see the current city lord before they were willing to say, therefore, Luo Tianxing no longer hesitated to report the matter to Ji Nan.

Ji Nan didn't want to see it, but suddenly he heard the two monks who were being held outside shouting, "What we want to say is the secret of the past city lords' mansions, only the current city lords can listen to it." ”

Ji Nan decided to see them, and only then did he know from the two monks that there were many prisoners in charge of the underground of the City Lord's Mansion, all of whom were arrested by the previous city lords during their tenure, and now that the previous city lord Murong Shui had run away, it was time for the next city lord to take over.

The two of them came to report this matter to the new city lord, and in addition, they reported the escape of the prisoners in cages 18 and 19 two days ago when the previous city lord led the guards to support, after all, the people who can be locked in the cage are dangerous people, who knows what will happen after they get out?

"One of the eighteenth and nineteenth is Murong Bing, the second son of the former city lord Murong Shui, who was imprisoned more than ten days ago, and the other is an old man named Ling Xuozi, the specific experience has been observable for a long time, and I only know that this old man has been locked up here since there are records."

"That day, Murong Bing coerced me to take the key and let him out, and then I talked to the old man Ling Xuzi, and I was confused when I was talking, and when I came to my senses, I found that the old man Ling Xuozi was gone, and the cell on the nineteenth was empty." One of the guards said.

Only then did everyone know that the old man's name was Ling Xuozi, and his expression was a little strange for a while, you must know that the name ending in Zi has long been unused, not because he doesn't want to use it, but he can't use it, because according to the practice of the Lingxu Continent, only the immortal stage monks who have successfully crossed the tribulation can add 'Zi' to their names.

"Sister, is he?" Xiao Yu'er was the first to break the calm and asked.

Xiaolan nodded, "It should be, right!" ”

Xiao Yu'er looked at her suspiciously, and Xiao Lan thought about it and explained, "Do you think the underground cage of a City Lord's Mansion can trap an Immortal Stage Cultivator?" ”

Xiao Yu'er shook her head, "Definitely not!" ”

Therefore, Sister Xiaolan felt that this old man might not be an immortal monk.

The two monks below were even more confused, and the one who spoke before stammered, "No, that old man screams out all day long, and he is stupidly breaking the iron bars with his hands......

Xiaolan shook her head, "Don't talk nonsense when you go out, otherwise the Immortal Stage Cultivator will be unhappy, and if you have something, we won't be able to save you." ”

Frightened by Xiaolan together, the two nodded like pounding garlic, and they didn't even dare to call the name Ling Xuozi, and only replaced it with immortals.

"That's all?" Ji Nan asked when he saw that they were finished.

The monk nodded, "That's all!" ”

"On what charges are they being imprisoned?" Xiaolan asked suddenly, and everyone listened to it.

"Murong Bing is disrespectful to the city lord, old man Ling Xuzi-" The monk who spoke scratched his head, "My grandfather's grandfather, count up to three generations, and the great immortals are all locked up inside." ”

Xiaolan nodded, "Well, then they-"

She raised her head, her voice was suddenly stern, and the cold light in her eyes made people dare not look directly, "Have you been abused?" ”

The monk swallowed and spitted, forced his trembling legs, and replied tremblingly, "No, the prisoners in the cage have never been beaten, they are just locked up." ”

Xiaolan lowered her eyelids and hid the sadness in her heart, "Okay, I'm done!" ”

The voice was almost inaudible, Ji Nan nodded, and didn't say anything, because it was useless to say anything.

"How many prisoners are still in the underground cells? What kind of crimes were they put in? How long have they been closed? Did they try to escape? Ji Nan threw out a bunch of questions at once.

The two guards glanced at each other, and the guards who spoke before spoke again and said one by one, "There are a total of fifty-seven prisoners in the cell below, all of them are felons imprisoned by previous city lords, and they are charged with different crimes, some of them are offended by the city lord like Murong Bing, and some of them have done heinous bad things, but there are a few like the old man Ling Xuozi, who only know their names, when they were locked in, and what they are charged for, they all don't know. ”

"Like the old man Ling Xuzi, they have been held for too long, and hundreds of years ago, there was a fire in the underground cage that burned all the files containing the prisoners. Even the names of the prisoners were asked later, after additional information had been provided. ”

"Speaking of escaping, if you go down and take a look, you will know that the density of the underground cage is very good, and no prisoner can escape except for us to open the door and release people." The monk's eyebrows fluttered a little as he spoke.

However, Ji Nan really seemed to be just asking casually, he nodded, and didn't ask any more questions, but asked instead, "When did you start working in the underground cell?" ”

"Oh, our ancestors were all guarding the underground cage of the City Lord's Mansion, and I can't say when, in short, my grandfather's grandfather and his grandfather both did this, and when it came to me, they were also guards, and if nothing else, my son would also inherit my position." Speaking of his son, a blush appeared on the monk's face, who was apparently single.

Ji Nan nodded, "Okay, I know everything I should know, you guys go down first, be a good errand, don't talk nonsense about the things below, I will go down and check in person when the time is right." ”

After speaking, he asked Luo Tianxing, who was waiting outside, to take out two rewards for the guards and distribute them to the two monks, and the two monks quickly returned to the underground cage after getting them.

Several people in the City Lord's Mansion Chamber digested the news well.

"Ji Nan, aren't you curious?" Xue Yi propped up his elbows and slowly swallowed the tunnel.

Ji Nan smiled bitterly, "Why aren't you curious?" But once I see those people, it's too embarrassing to let them go or not. ”

"Release, you didn't close it! Besides, Murong Shui is not a good person, the one who is locked up by him must be hostile to him, he must be a good person, of course he has to let go! "Xiao Yu'er just thinks that if she is locked inside, it is really uncomfortable, and as for the chaotic logical relationship, others are smart enough to turn a blind eye.

"Not everyone is an old man with Ling Xuo, who knows what will happen if they are released?" Ji Nan said that he would become the ruler of the entire Jacaranda Chirp clan in the future, and he could not listen to biased beliefs, but had to have his own ideas.

Therefore, he still prefers to keep it for now, and wait until he thinks it clearly before deciding.

Xiao Yu'er pouted, for their demon clan, longevity is the pursuit, but the most important thing is freedom, if there is no freedom, no matter how long the life expectancy is, it will only make people tired.

"Okay, there's a mess tomorrow, so let's stop here today!" Ji Nan stood up and said.

Several other people also took out their respective futons to sit cross-legged and cultivate, and they had just entered the state, and Ah Cheng and Xiaotian, who were curious to see the black dragon, came back, and the two of them also began to cultivate when they saw this.

****

At this time, five hundred kilometers unexpectedly in the dense woods.

Murong Xue and the burly monk of the Open Fire Gate, who had finished the discussion, were drinking to celebrate, and Lin Xi on the tree also stored the information into aura here in the jade plaque.

The old man Ling Xuzi took the jade plaque and tied it to the white bird's feet with a black thread as thin as a hair, and the other end passed through the small hole in the jade plaque.

Then he muttered to the bird and didn't know what to say, and the bird flew away by itself, and Lin Xi was stunned for a moment.

"That's it?" Lin Xi looked worriedly at the bird dragging half of its body, lest it would fall off if half of it was wasted, and asked hesitantly.

The old man stroked his beard and glared at Lin Xi dissatisfied, "I'm not that weak!" ”

Lin Xi saw that the old man was very confident, so he had to nod and believe it.

Just as Lin Xi wanted to discuss the next battle plan with the old man, he heard a few birdsong not far away, and then the sound of tree branches rattling.

Not only Lin Xi, but even Murong Xue and the burly monk below also stopped to look in the direction of the sound, and before the disciples sent by the burly monk could check, a figure more than half a person tall pounced.

"Long-distance birds!" Lin Xi was dumbfounded, how did this long-distance bird send the letter here?

Murong Xue and the burly monk looked at each other, they had a special contact method with their own people, and they rarely used the messenger door to deliver messages.

However, the long-distance birds did not pay attention to their intentions, but tilted their heads, turned their long beaks high, a pair of mung bean-sized eyes purr, and buttery leaves everywhere, knowing that the recipient was here, but could not see it.

Seeing the long-distance bird with its head up, Lin Xi's heart moved, believing that it was hers!

It should be a reply to the letter sent to Lin Zhi a few days ago.

Lin Xi wanted to cry at this time, she had been looking forward to this letter, but she didn't come early or late, she didn't send it to the VIP building, Xue Yi didn't send it, she just sent it to her!

"Girl, your letter!" The old man next to him, who felt the long-distance bird staring at him, turned around and asked.

Lin Xi nodded and said depressedly, "Well, it's mine!" ”

"Why don't you hurry up and get it?" The old man looked at her speechlessly.

"Didn't Murong Xue and the people from the Open Fire Gate know? Besides, our targets are Murong Xue and Bai Chi, and it is not good for us to implicate the immortal cultivators who have entered the Open Fire Gate! Lin Xi said with a sigh.

With her current cultivation and strength, if she wins against Bai Chi, Murong Xue will hand it over to the old man, and it will be solved in just a quarter of an hour.

If you add the people from the Open Fire Gate, who knows if Murong Xue and Bai Chi will take the opportunity to run away, and besides, they are allies now, and if one family is in trouble, will the other family sit idly by?

As long as he still wants to form an alliance, the burly monk will not do such a brainless thing.

The old man couldn't help frowning, "You girl is not good, you can fight if you want, where do you have so many worries, if everyone is like you, it will be too aggrieved to live!" ”

Lin Xi secretly stuck out his tongue, and asked Ai Ai, "Old man, how many can you deal with at a time?" ”

"Don't worry, none of the people below can escape, don't worry about taking your letter!" The old man waved his hand, as if he was a little impatient.

Lin Xi rolled her eyes, she was just a Jindan early stage of cultivation, but it was not a tribulation period or anything, of course she had to think about it carefully, after all, her life was still very fragile.

However, it was really time to hurry, Murong Xue and the burly monk still suspected that there were 'outsiders' hiding nearby, although the expressions on their faces remained unchanged, but their eyes were rolling around.

And seeing the movements of the rest of the monks of the Open Fire Gate gradually surrounding the long-distance bird, Lin Xi could be sure that their target was her letter.

However, the long-distance bird was still very responsible, and without waiting for them to get closer, it flew up and stopped on a tree opposite Lin Xi and the old man. Then I happened to see my client holding a half-human thick tree trunk like a koala, looking at it intently.

Lin Xi rubbed his eyes, and generally felt that the long-distance bird seemed to be angry, and without hesitation, he immediately stood up from between the branches, jumped onto the opposite tree, and then was pecked by a long and sharp thing.

Lin Xi touched the mark on her arm and thought to herself, she was really not mistaken, the long-distance bird was really angry.
