Chapter 178: The Empty Courtyard

Previous Chapter

The handwriting on the paper is beautiful, apparently by a woman.

The person who wrote this letter was none other than Ling'er, a slender maid of the Confucian Chamber of Commerce.

As Feng Yi expected, Ling'er is Lu Yuanlin's person. It's just that on this confession, it is not explained that the main messenger behind the scenes is Lu Yuanlin.

She only said that she was originally a slave girl of the people behind the scenes, but she was moved by Liu Shangtian and had a chaotic behavior.

The people behind the scenes were furious, but they did not punish him, but ordered himself to forge Feng Yi's handwriting, write the letter, and hand it to Liu Shangtian.

Other than that, Ling'er didn't know.

However, since the letter is false, other things are naturally not true.

The charges on Feng Yi's body were washed away because of this confession.

As for who the person behind the scenes was, Feng Yi knew that it was Lu Yuanlin, and Luo Bing also roughly guessed that it was Lu Yuanlin.

In the absence of evidence, it is naturally impossible to convict on the spot.

Luo Bing said: "Behind the scenes, the instigation is rampant, treating the rules of my Heavenly Sword Sect as nothing, and daring to collude with Liu Shangtian and frame the deacon Feng." I must investigate this matter and confer justice. ”

She is not biased towards Feng Yi, but on the facts. The words are indifferent, not mixed with the slightest emotion.

The trial is over, and the sky is dawning.

Feng Yi walked out of the gate of the Law Enforcement Hall, looking at the bright sky and the white snow in all directions, and couldn't help but sigh.

"In such a filthy world, why do you always use snow to cover up the pickles, and tease the world, so that they mistakenly think that the world is clear?"

No one could answer Feng Yi's doubts, only Lu Yuanlin cast a vicious look and went alone.

"Brother Feng, I just heard that you were attacked and taken to the Law Enforcement Hall, are you okay?"

Yu Liang ran over and asked worriedly.

Feng Yi shook his head and said, "It's okay." ”

I subconsciously wanted to turn my head to look at Luo Bing, who was sitting alone in the middle hall, but after thinking about it, I resisted the impulse.

Yu Liang had long known that Luo Bing had been Shen Xuan, the young master of the Yulin Sect, and he also knew her relationship with Feng Yi.

Now that he suddenly saw Feng Yi and Luo Bing indifferent, Yu Liang couldn't help frowning.

After thinking about it, he asked, "...... you and Elder Luo?"

Feng Yi shook his head, "It's okay." ”

"Squeak...... Squeak......"

The sound of stamping on snow is not good.

Feng Yi found an inn, and Yu Liang followed.

"You have affection for Elder Luo, why do you have to pretend to be ruthless so stubbornly?"

Yu Liang saw Feng Yi's gloomy expression and couldn't help but ask.

Feng Yi lay on the bed, closed his eyes and said nothing.

Yu Liang continued: "I know that she has forgotten everything before, even you. But...... In the past, you could have a mutual relationship with her, but now you may not be able to live and die again. Why not go for it?"

Feng Yi opened his eyes, shook his head and said, "She practices the Ruthless Dao. ”

"Ruthless Dao?" Yu Liang had never heard the name of this Xuangong, and he didn't know the key point in it, so he asked, "So what?"

"If you practice the Ruthless Dao, if you are emotional, you will be ruined by your penance. Feng Yi said lightly.

He said it indifferently, but in fact, only he knew the pain in his heart.

"How can there be such a strange mystical skill in the world?" Yu Liang was puzzled.

Looking at Feng Yi again, I suddenly felt an indescribable sympathy rise in my heart.

"Do you drink?" asked Yu Liang after a long silence.

Feng Yi nodded, "Drink!"

Two people, ten jars of wine, drunk until they were drunk.

It's a pity that there is no Juyuan bullwhip from Drunken Xianju, Huanyuan waist flower from Wanguanlou, and ice lotus sheep testicle wine from Baiweitang, Yu Liang drank quite tastelessly.

The current Yu Liang is no longer the fat man he was a year ago, he just has the heart to eat these luxury things again, and he has no money to buy them.

After all, none of these things are cheap.

Feng Yi looked at Yu Liang, who was drunk and not beautiful, and suddenly thought: "Compared with a year ago, he has really changed a lot." ”

At that time, Yu Liang's behavior was debauched and casual, and he was also a little nervous, which made people feel that he was a very unobtrusive second-rate person at first glance.

And now Yu Liang is much more stable, and he doesn't seem to like to talk very much.

It is only through something that a person can be completely changed.

Yu Liang has changed, and Luo Bing has also changed.

Feng Yi stroked his forehead and pondered, "Have I changed?"

Maybe it has changed, or maybe it hasn't. As for whether it has changed or not, Feng Yi, as an insider, is difficult to see clearly and understand.

In the afternoon, a small servant came to report, saying that Commander Yang of the Heavenly Sword Sect was out asking to see Yu Liang's second son.

Yu Liang drummed up his Yuan Li, forced out the smell of wine, raised his hand and said, "Let him in." ”

Commander Yang's name is Yang Mao, and he is a generous man in his early thirties.

"In the Heavenly Sword Sect, I only have Yang Mao's henchman left. Yu Liang sighed.

Feng Yi didn't force out the smell of wine, looked at Yang Mao dizzily, and hugged his fists and said, "Brother Yang." ”

Yang Mao hurriedly clenched his fists and returned the salute, "I've seen Deacon Feng." ”

After saying that, he turned to look at Yu Liang, respectfully handed over a Xuan bag, and said, "The subordinates of Deacon Feng have bought all the medicinal materials needed, and there are three copies of each. Change is also in the bag. ”

Yu Liang took it, but he didn't look at it, so he threw it to Feng Yi.

Feng Yi raised his hand and said, "Thank you." ”

Yang Mao bowed and retreated, leaving the two of them in the inn bedroom, speechless.

In the evening, the snow fell again, and the cold wind blew more and more fiercely.

Feng Yi woke up a lot, got up and said, "Fat brother, I'll go back to the prison city first." ”

Yu Liang sent it outside the city and said: "Lu Yuanlin designed to frame you this time but failed to get it, he will not stop there, the prison city is far away, you must be careful." ”

Feng Yi waved his hand and said: "It's okay, Lu Yuanlin's temperament is forward-looking, and he will never dare to attack me on the bright side, otherwise he would have killed him in prison city a long time ago." ”

"It's always right to be careful. Yu Liang reminded.

Feng Yi said "En", turned over on his horse, and went in the snow.

......

Inside the Heavenly Sword Sect, in the House of Elders.

"Elder, that kid Feng Yi is out of the city. The little guy in yellow reported respectfully.

Lu Yuanlin sat on the main seat, stared at the snow scene in the courtyard with cold eyes, and said lightly: "What about going out of the city?"

"It's snowing heavily today, and the road to the prison city is rarely crowded, so why not ......"

The little man in yellow approached Lu Yuanlin's side, and as he spoke, he raised his hand to wipe his neck.

Lu Yuanlin glanced at him, "That little beast is easy to kill, but what about after killing him?" Can you guarantee that the Law Enforcement Hall will not investigate clues and touch Elder Ben's body?"

"This ......"

The yellow-clothed little man rolled his eyes, and said again: "There is another method, the subordinates of the Dark Sect have already set up the line, why don't you ask the killer of the Dark Sect to come forward and go to the end of that kid?"

Lu Yuanlin shook his head, "The Dark Sect has always only recognized money, and it has no deep friendship with me. With this handle in their hands, it will be difficult for them to get out of it in the future. ”

"So ......"

The little guy still had to give advice, Lu Yuanlin waved his hand and said, "Don't worry about that little beast for the time being, has the Blood Rakshasa been contacted?"

"Since the disappearance of the Rakshasa King half a month ago, our connection with the Blood Rakshasa has also been severed. The subordinates tried many methods, but they couldn't contact the three rakshasa generals. But ......"

As he spoke, the little guy smiled "hehe" and sold the guanzi.

Lu Yuanlin's face turned cold, and he reprimanded: "Hurry up!"

The little girl's body trembled, and he hurriedly said: "Fang Cai Sect received news that there was a sudden flash of blood on the other side of Yunsang Canyon. Elder Hai speculated that the blood light was emitted by the Blood Rakshasa in order to find its master. The sect master sent a task to send Elder Kuo to lead the crowd to Yunsang Canyon to find out. ”

Lu Yuanlin let out an "oh", and after a moment of silence, he said: "It's okay, Elder Ben recommended himself to inspect the Yunsang Canyon, if he really found the traces of the Blood Rakshasa Gorge, he would be able to contact the Rakshasa King with this." ”

With that, he straightened up and walked towards the Heavenly Sword Sect Sect Sect Leader Yu Hongchen's residence.

Walking on the road, Lu Yuanlin's heart fluctuated, and he thought secretly: "Yu Hongchen never taught me the secret Xuangong of the Heavenly Sword Sect, and he still didn't treat me as his own after all. Alas!"

Looking at the sky, Lu Yuanlin sighed: "I was injured once, and I lost nearly a thousand years of life, and now there are only thirty years left." If I can't break through to the Yuan Fetal Realm within thirty years, I ......"

For the sake of his longevity, he chose to turn his back on the Heavenly Sword Sect and sell the secrets of the sect to the Dark Hall. and colluded with the Rakshasa King to release false news to lure away the masters of the Heavenly Sword Sect, which caused the disaster of the bloody killing field in Taiping Mountain.

Pity...... The Rakshasa King disappeared, and his original promise was not kept.

Lu Yuanlin was very anxious and troubled.

......

When the prison city was in sight, the sky was gone.

There was snow against the background, and the night was not very thick, and Feng Yi rode his horse without hurrying.

Along the way, he did not encounter Lu Yuanlin's interception, and at the same time, he was not overly worried that someone would intercept and kill him.

After all, in broad daylight, no one dared to run rampant enough to come to the territory of the Heavenly Sword Sect and kill the deacons in the outer hall of the sect.

"The lord of the city has returned. ”

A guard who was on vigil saw Feng Yi's figure and shouted to push open the city gate.

Feng Yi rode into the city, his face was grim, and he was silent.

"What about unfaithfulness?"

After returning to the small courtyard of his residence, Feng Yi didn't see Wuxin's figure, so he hurriedly called Xu Huang to ask.

Xu Huang shook his head and said, "I saw him go to Commander Yan's residence in the morning, and I haven't seen him since then. ”

Feng Yi said "En", and Xu Huang asked: "The city lord has returned to the city on a snowy night, and he must not have eaten dinner yet, right?" ”

"No need, you go and rest. ”

Feng Yi raised his hand and sent Xu Huang away, looked at the snow in the courtyard, thought about it, and walked towards Yan Yuwan's residence.

The desire to leave this land became stronger and stronger, and Feng Yi didn't want to delay any longer.

When I came to the outside of the courtyard, I saw a dim candlelight fluttering in the room.

Feng Yi pondered for a long time, stepped forward and buckled the knocker.

"Who?"

A charming voice floated out of the courtyard and into the ears, as if it could sharpen the muscles and bones.

Feng Yi's heart is full of Luo Bing, and now although he is ruthless, he can't cut it off all at once.

Yan Yuwan's seductive voice was no different from the night crow's sad cry to Feng Yi.

"Let the faithless come out. Feng Yi said coldly.

There was a "squeak", and the courtyard door was opened from the inside.

The snow was very heavy, the night was very cold, Yan Yuwan was cool, most of her delicate body was exposed, and she didn't deliberately cover it, she came to Feng Yi with her chest up, bowed down and said, "I've seen the city lord." ”

The spring light flowed on his chest, and Feng Yi turned a blind eye, "What about no faith?"

Yan Yuwan straightened up, shook his head and said, "My subordinates don't know, I haven't seen him all afternoon." ”

"Didn't he come to you this morning?" Feng Yi frowned.

Yan Yuwan stroked her long sideburns and nodded, "I came once in the morning, and I left after a short time." ”

On the way back to the City Lord's Mansion, Feng Yi's heart once again had some bad premonitions.

He stopped in the snow, thought for a moment, and turned and walked towards Qiu Ping's residence.

"It seemed like I was heading towards the city, and I only glanced at it from afar, and I didn't pay much attention to it. Qiu Ping rubbed his eyes with one hand and scratched his head with the other.

"The residence of the Elder in the city?"

Feng Yi's heart "chuckled" and hurriedly asked.

Qiu Ping thought for a while and said, "It seems to be." ”

Feng Yi didn't ask any more questions, said goodbye to Qiu Ping with worries, stepped on the snow all over the city, clothed in the thick of the night, and walked towards the orphanage where the elders lived in the hollow of the city.

The courtyard gate was ajar, and there was a dead silence in the courtyard, and the white-haired donkey who always slept soundly at the gate of the courtyard was gone.

"Could it be that the identity of Wuxin has been discovered by the Empty Elder?"

Feng Yi became suspicious in his heart, and then thought again: "Impossible, I don't know that I am not the opponent of Elder Kong, and it is impossible to deliberately go this way." ”

But Qiu Ping said it truthfully, Wuxin was indeed coming this way by himself.

Because of what?

Where is he now? Elder Kong is not at home?

Feng Yi didn't know, and his probe lightly slammed the courtyard door.

No one responded, only the sound of falling snow, accompanied by a howling cold wind, like a ghost crying.

"Ang Tam ......"

The sudden cry of a donkey frightened Feng Yihao, and he hurriedly followed the prestige, and saw a handful of white hair emerging from the bedroom, which seemed to be the tail of the white donkey.

"Elder Kong's here?"

Feng Yi asked in a deep voice.

"Ang Tam ......"

The donkey barked again, with a painful sound, as if he had been seriously wounded.

Feng Yi was startled and hurriedly swept towards the bedroom. With a shake of his right hand, the bone knife was out.

Before his feet could be touched, he heard the white donkey scream again.

"Ang Tamp!"

The scream was rapid, as if to warn visitors of danger in the house.

But it was too late, the cry had settled, and Feng Yi was already down-to-earth.

Gazing around, there was nothing. The donkey was gone, and there was no sign of Elder Faithless and Empty.

In the small bedroom, there was not even a bed, bench, table and other furniture, and it was completely empty.

Doubts are stacked and accumulated in Feng Yi's heart.

At this moment, a very thick and violent demonic aura suddenly came from under his feet.

Feng Yi knew that something was wrong, and hurriedly retreated towards the outside of the bedroom.

The demonic qi struck his body, condensed into thick black smoke when the wind caught it, and then transformed into a palm the size of a fan, and really grasped Feng Yi's legs.

Juli pulled Feng Yi's body and fell to the ground in a hurry, no matter how he struggled, it was difficult to make an inch.

"Boom ......"

The floor in the middle of the bedroom was smashed out of a deep pit the size of a millstone by Feng Yi's body, and the bottom of the pit was pitch black, and I don't know how deep.

And Feng Yi's body was being pulled by the palm of the demonic qi, and he fell towards the bottom of the pit as if flying.

The figure fell sharply, and Feng Yi's thoughts turned like electricity.

"It's such a rich demonic aura, there is actually a demonic power hidden here?"

"Does this demonic power have anything to do with Ignorance, has Elder Sky been killed by him?"

"How can there be a deep pit underground? What is under the pit? Why does the demonic energy pull me downward? Why doesn't the demonic power rush out of the pit?"

......

All kinds of mixed thoughts flowed in Feng Yi's heart like light and shadow.

He thought about it, and suddenly out of all this chaos, he made an inference that seemed to be correct.

"At the bottom of this pit is also a prison, and the power of the demon path is suppressed inside. Elder Kong lives here, but in fact, it is to guard the ban, prevent people from the Demon Dao from coming to break the prohibition, and rescue the power of the Demon Dao. Wuxin wandered through the prison city, discovered the ban, and took advantage of the empty elder's unpreparedness to break the ban. ”

The demonic qi did not go out, but just pulled itself into the ground, and Feng Yi deduced again, "Wuxin has not completely destroyed the ban, and the power of the demonic path has not completely escaped from the trap." ”

Thinking of this, Feng Yi's mind completely calmed down.

The figure was still plummeting, and the pit seemed to have no end.

At this time, it was not the time to think about whether Elder Kong was still alive, Feng Yi swallowed his saliva, and said secretly: "You should get out of trouble quickly, if you are dragged to the bottom of the pit and fall into the hands of the great demon, you will die." ”

Taking advantage of the wind to straighten his body, Feng Yi's right hand holding the knife slashed down to his body.

"Poof......

The bone knife slashed at the pitch-black palm of the demonic qi, and in an instant, the demonic qi collapsed and the palm broke.

Feng Yi was free, his heart was happy, and he was busy stepping on the dragon footwork, stepping on the cave wall on his side, and swimming up.

"Such a sharp bone knife can actually cut off the deity's Daredevil. ”

A voice like the mournful scream of a night owl came from the bottom of the pit, and at the same time, another voice sounded, "Old thing, if the means don't work, say that the means can't work, what kind of bone knife is sharp?"

It was a hoarse old woman talking, and before she could say a word, there was a strange laugh at the bottom of the pit.

"Night Demon, is your old boy really old? It's only been banned for less than a thousand years, and his cultivation has regressed to such a state that he can't even catch a kid from the Inner Breath Realm?"

The night demon snorted coldly, and another gong-like voice sounded, "Old men, don't be busy bickering first, slaughter that kid first." If he runs out and spreads the news that we are about to get out of trouble, and attracts the masters of the five clans, won't it be a failure?"

The other three demons said in unison: "That's how it should be!"

The surging demonic qi roared out, once again condensed into a pitch-black hand, clenched his fingers into a fist, and carried the boundless demonic power, and rushed away.

"There is still a deal between the deity and his Fengyi boy that has not been completed, and you are going to hurt him when you wait. ”

The shout of Wuxin pierced through the iron fist formed by the condensation of demonic energy, and reached Feng Yi's ears in the air.

At the same time, a scarlet blood light shot out from the bottom of the pit, and the last one came first, attacking the Demon Fist.

"Bang!"
