Chapter 44: Lingling City

Entering the territory of Cangzhou, the more you go to the hinterland, the more lively it becomes.

When they were completely away from the border and close to the densely populated town, several people who had been hiding on the shuttle for several days were relieved.

In front of the shuttle is the Lingling City of Cangzhou.

Lingling City is the largest city in the north of Cangzhou, and there are only a few small villages and towns further north. It can be said that stepping into the gate of Lingling City can be regarded as truly stepping into the prosperity of Cangzhou.

The four of them took the shuttle all the way to a secluded place more than ten miles away from Lingling City, and then turned around a few times and headed towards the location of Lingling City. The closer you get to the city gate, the more pedestrians there are on the road, there are many ordinary people, and there are several monks, all of whom are heading towards the city gate, which seems to be very lively.

Cangzhou is the territory of the Li family, one of the four great families, and the monks will pay special attention to and abide by the rules on the territory of Cangzhou, especially in large towns like Lingling City. Near the city gate, the monks who have cultivated will walk on the road in a proper manner like ordinary people, and there are no people who dare to use magic weapons to walk, and few people who use spells to lighten their bodies here.

I think that when I was in Chenzhou, there was no top force in Chenzhou, and Loucheng was a small remote town, and the rules were extremely loose, even Xiao Luo and Xue Yuan, when they went out of the city with Lu Yan to enjoy the scenery, they would also use spells to save some time and energy, everyone was like this, they were used to it, and no one was surprised, but in Cangzhou Lingling City, it was almost impossible to see such a situation.

After getting off the shuttle, Xiao Luo, who had been sleeping and recuperating for most of the time, had a little better face, and after finally getting down to earth, he stretched out and couldn't help sighing: "It's finally here...... Lie down any longer, and your bones should be hard. ”

Zhou Yan pursed his lips, and when he passed by him, he quickly grabbed Xue Yuan's arm before Xiao Luo could react: "Then you stretch your muscles and bones, and I'll take you away!"

"Heyβ€”"

"I haven't had a good chat with you for a long time, I'm suffocating! I'll tell you......"

Xiao Luo took a step slower, watched Zhou Yan pull Xue Yun away from him, lowered his head and whispered, took two deep breaths, turned his head sideways and glared at Su Run, who was just taking the shuttle back to the size of his palm and handing it back to him.

Su Run stuffed the shrunken shuttle into Xiao Luo's hand, watched him take back his storage bag, nodded, and turned around to follow Zhou Yan and Xue Yuan, who were already walking in front.

"Su Run. ”

β€œ...... Huh?"

Xiao Luo raised his eyebrows: "Hey, you don't care?"

Su Run looked back expressionlessly: "What's the matter?"

Xiao Luo hooked Su Run's shoulder, stretched out his hand and patted it with a little effort: "Don't pretend to be stupid for me!"

Su Run turned his face away, looked at Zhou Yan's back in front of him, and said very calmly: "If you don't hurry up, they are going to go away." ”

Xiao Luo, who had his arm on Su Run's shoulder, didn't react, and was staggered by Su Run, who suddenly walked forward, and gritted his teeth: "...... You just have a hard mouth. ”

......

Zhou Yan pulled Xue Yun to walk in front, as in the past, talking about interesting topics.

Xue Yun turned his head sideways to look at Zhou Yan who was holding his arm, sighed slightly in his heart, and stretched out his hand to gently press her holding his hand: "Ah Yan, do you have something on your mind?"

Zhou Yan pursed his lips and let out a long breath: "...... Well. ”

"Do you want to tell me about it?"

Zhou Yan was silent for a moment and nodded: "...... I...... Although it is so far away from Sioux Town, these days...... I can't help but think of ......"

Hearing Zhou Yan mention Su Zhen, Xue Yuan's heart was also tight: "...... I'm thinking about the strange mountain back, or ......"

The two talked as they walked, without stopping.

Zhou Yan's eyes fell on the front, a little confused: "Qishan Hui ...... At that time, he looked special, crazy. I didn't know Qishanhui before, nor did I know his wife Wanyin, I don't know what kind of relationship they have, so ...... It's not very understandable that Qishan Hui used so many years of time, at the cost of the lives of so many innocent people, to go against the sky, to seek a death that is not in line with the way of heaven and come back to life. ”

Xue Yun listened silently and did not interject.

"At that time, I only cared about staring at him as an enemy, but now that it has passed, I can't help but wander around the picture in my head. Qi Shan Hui looked like a madman at that time, and his eyes were full of hideousness and terrifying, but ...... But as long as his gaze fell on the coffin where Wanyin was, it was as if he had changed someone all of a sudden. When I saw him at the dinner party before, although he seemed so approachable and gentle and polite, I always felt a little awkward that I couldn't say it...... He also has real warmth, not all pretended to be false. Just ......"

"It's just that it's all given to that one person. Xue Yun whispered: "Except for that one, perhaps, in his eyes, others are all insignificant ants." ”

Zhou Yan hooked the corners of his mouth: "Yuan, do you know? After seeing Qishan Hui and Wanyin, I also fantasized about it." If...... If, I stand in Wanyin's position, the person I like, just like Qishan Hui to Wanyin, can be desperate for her, chaos into demons, and commit heinous murder, I ...... I used to think I would be impressed, but ......"

"Actually?"

"I can't tell, maybe it's really moving, but it's too ...... Heavy, right?"

Xue Yu listened quietly, paused, and sighed softly: "We are on the opposite side of Qishanhui, and we have personally felt the anger and panic, grievances and resentment that are used as sacrifices. Qishanhui has a desperate deep affection for Wanyin, but this affection is witnessed with the blood and lives of innocent people who have nothing to do with it. Wanyin's death was a regret and an obsession for him, but he ...... Why didn't he think that these people who were sacrificed by him also had blood relatives and partners, because he wanted to resurrect Wanyin's obsession, how much did he personally create, just like him and Wanyin, the tragedy of eternal separation between life and death......?

Zhou Yan listened and was silent for a long time, but he still couldn't help but look up at Xue Yuan: "Yuan, you say...... Wanting to resurrect one's beloved, is it doomed, from the beginning, wrong?"

Xue Yuan's fingers moved, and he suddenly remembered what happened when Xiao Luo was seriously injured in the Streamer Grass Mountain Range.

At that time, if it is......

She thought, she might ...... can understand a little, Qishanhui's unwillingness.

Zhou Yan saw that Xue Yuan did not answer, and did not ask any more.

After destroying all hopes, Qishanhui finally blew himself up and abandoned reincarnation just to be with Wanyin, which is indeed very embarrassing.

But it's just a sigh.

"No matter what happens to Qishanhui, what I think is even more hateful and unforgivable is that he calculated behind his back and used the so-called blood sacrifice soul formation to deceive the people of Qishanhui. Zhou Yan thought for a while and said, "We always have to find out this wicked man hiding behind him, so that he can get the punishment he deserves." ”

"That's what Yan said. Xue Yun also straightened his expression: "Indeed, you can't let it go." ”

Especially...... The person behind him deceived Qi Shanhui, I'm afraid it can only be regarded as a "trivial matter", a real conspiracy......

Overturned Kyushu.

Qishanhui's words reveal the possible meaning, which is ...... My heart is very heavy.

......

It didn't take long for Xue Yun and his entourage to walk outside the gate of Lingling City.

Compared with the Loucheng of Chenzhou, Xiangcheng, and the gates of Lingling City are particularly rich and atmospheric, although they are not exquisite, they are really not simple.

After all, the city gate and city wall of Loucheng Xiangcheng are not engraved with a passively prompted defensive formation.

Before stepping into the gate of Lingling City, Xiao Luo turned his head to look in the direction he had come from, squinting his eyes slightly, thoughtfully.

......

"The head of the house. ”

In the study, the man in the dark suit was half-kneeling on the ground, lowering his head and not daring to look at the middle-aged man sitting at the table.

The man known as the "head of the house" put down the pen in his hand and glanced lightly at the half-kneeling person on the ground: "What's wrong?"

"The subordinates were incompetent, and they were unable to find out the cause of the breakdown. ”

The middle-aged man chuckled, and he couldn't hear much emotion, but the man who was half-kneeling on the ground had a tight back and a faint chill.

"So, you don't know if it has anything to do with that sudden anomaly?"

"The subordinates are incompetent!"

"Huh. The middle-aged man's gaze fell on the man: "...... Incompetent, indeed. ”

The half-kneeling man on the ground lowered his head two points deeper, cold sweat broke out on his forehead, and he gritted his teeth, not daring to defend.

"Not to mention the array, only the vision, after so many days, still don't know anything?"

"The subordinates are incompetent. ”

The middle-aged man was impatient to listen to the four words repeated, and said calmly: "Go to the torture hall to receive the punishment." ”

His "head of the house" did not say exactly how much he would be punished, but this made the hearts of the men on the ground even heavier.

"Yes. The man didn't dare to resist, cold sweat dripped down his forehead, and after thinking for a long time, he finally thought of something that might be relevant before getting up and leaving: "Master, that neighborhood...... There seems to be traces of the Tang family, I don't know...... Can it be related to the Tang family?"

"Tang family?" The middle-aged man raised his eyebrows, but laughed with a bit of irony: "The Tang family seven thousand years ago was frightened, and the descendants around seven years ago were even worse, and they were not as good as they were back then...... The Tang family doesn't have the guts, let alone the ability. ”

β€œ...... Be. Subordinate...... Retirement. ”

β€œ...... Wait a minute. ”

"The head of the house?"

"Go to the torture hall and give another third-class punishment, and then ...... Go back, add some more manpower, and keep an eye on the Tang family. You don't have to get close, just watch the movement. ”

Hearing that the other party made it clear that he could only receive a third-class punishment, the man was overjoyed, but he didn't dare to show it on his face, and hurriedly arched his hand and said, "Yes, my subordinates obey orders." ”

After the man stepped back, the middle-aged man known as the "head of the house" got up from behind the table, paced in the study for a while, thought for a while, turned around and walked out of the study, and went to the depths of the courtyard.
