The night is as cold as water, and you can't see the lights of thousands of homes, perhaps because the night is deep, and there are only three or two hurried passers on the street.

In a room with some candlelight, an old man with gray hair was sitting at the end.

I saw him holding his head with one hand and playing with a small ball-shaped object with the other, with a leisurely expression.

"Bang Dang"

There was a sound echoing in the room, the sound crisp and elegant, but it was indeed a little harsh.

The listener had a heart, and the old man's whole body trembled when he heard the sound, and even the ball-like plaything in his hand was crushed with a bang.

The old man's expression was a little nervous, his eyes were a little frightened, and he turned around tremblingly, looking at the rows of jade plaques like spiritual positions placed behind him.

When he got closer, the old man was carefully examined by candlelight from top to bottom, piece by piece, for fear that something would go wrong.

I saw that the jade plate was the size of a human palm, crystal clear, with a faint green light, and if you looked closely, you will find that each jade plate is engraved with the name of the person, which is really a bit like the spiritual seat enshrined in the ancestral hall of the big family.

"Luo Chuang... Luo Tingyue... Luo Ziyao..."Whenever the old man thinks of a person's name, he will subconsciously look closer and check it carefully, for fear of missing something.

"Luo Tian!"

When the old man read this, it was the same as before, but this time the whole person was like a lightning strike, unable to speak for a long time, stretching out his trembling dry palm, and carefully rubbing it on Luo Tian's jade plate.

It seems that the old man is indeed dizzy, and a discerning person can see at a glance that the jade plate engraved with Luo Tian's name at this moment is not as crystal clear and shining as other jade plates, but has become dull, and there are many large or small cracks in the middle of the whole jade plate.

The old man was shocked, and became more and more alarmed, and hurriedly dragged his steps to the door.

He dragged a rope that hung naturally behind the door a few times, and his body collapsed weakly on the chair, and he didn't know what to say.

Immediately afterward, there was a crisp and rapid sound of copper bells from not far away.

Following the brass bells, through the many secret chambers underground, to the surface, along the many houses, until a brightly lit lobby.

The lobby is solemnly decorated, all the furniture is luxurious, facing the door, there is a square table condescendingly, and there are several chairs arrayed on both sides, at this time there are several people in the room, and there are some disheveled and frightened little people kneeling under the hall one after another.

Everyone in the audience is dressed in brocade clothes, a noble image, but only one person is much more abrupt in comparison.

This person is in his forties, dressed in a clean and simple navy blue robe, with a strand of white hair on each sideburn, a square face, sword eyebrows, not angry and arrogant, giving people a sense of oppression that they dare not approach.

But at this time, he was paralyzed in an old wheelchair without love, and the pale fatigue on his face and the stains eroded by the years revealed his weak body to everyone.

At this time, he was looking at Luo Haoran who was standing in the center of the lobby, his eyes were bloodshot, flashing with tears, and he asked in an almost hoarse voice: "Tian'er, Tian'er, he is really ...... Tian'er"

He was only halfway through his words when he heard the sound of a brass bell just now, just like a death bell, and he looked at the ceiling in a daze.

The people sitting upright and on both sides looked at the wheelchair man with sympathy on their faces.

Just at this moment, a loud "bang" was heard.

I saw the middle-aged man sitting in the lobby slamming the table, got up suddenly, and glared at everyone in the hall.

The family members who were kneeling under the hall even took Luo Chuang, who was standing aside, and their bodies trembled involuntarily.

The man in the hall looked at his appearance, and he was strikingly similar to the man in the wheelchair.

Dressed in a red and gold robe, the robe is trimmed with a flame pattern, accompanied by a silver-white white-fronted tiger.

The man has a tiger's back and a bear's waist, and his two mustaches are placed on his upper lip in an orderly manner, which is more innate than the non-angry and self-authoritative of the wheelchair man.

The golden-robed man slowly walked down the hall, came to Luo Chuang's side, looked at everyone, his eyes were wide with anger, and before he could speak, he exuded coercion, so frightened that everyone in the hall trembled, as if he was about to suffocate.

At this time, Luo Chuang's heart was raised to his throat, and his face was cowardly.

The golden-robed man looked at Luo Chuang, his eyes widened like copper bells, and he reprimanded angrily: "Rebel, full of nonsense, Tian'er is worthy of the fifth level of the Yuan Body, he has been concentrating on cultivation for many years, and he has never gone far away, how can he run with you to the dangerous dawn now, you tell me the truth about the original situation, there is a lie, I understand you with one palm." ”

As he spoke, he raised his palm and hung it above Luo Chuang's head.

When everyone in the hall heard this, they were all trembling with fright, and beads of sweat the size of beans flowed down involuntarily.

Luo Chuang stood in place, like a piece of wood, afraid that he was scared stupid, and when he was about to say something, he glanced at Luo Haoran beside him out of the corner of his eye, and held back the words he blurted out.

Seeing this, Luo Haoran hurriedly stepped forward, clenched his fists and bent down at the gold-robed man and said, "Uncle, don't be angry, you are angry and your body is broken, and listen to the little nephew's words, in fact, it was the Heavenly Brother himself who asked to go to the Dawn Realm." ”

Luo Haoran's tone was not mixed with any emotion, calm and full of energy, as if telling a fact. After that, he vaguely glanced at Luo Chuang, who was already frightened stupidly.

Hearing this, the golden-robed man frowned slightly, glanced at a middle-aged man sitting on the left, his eyes became deep, he forcibly suppressed the anger in his heart, and asked, "Do you ask for it?"

Seeing this, Luo Haoran slowed down a lot of nervousness on his face, and said sincerely: " Yes, Brother Tian, he knew that we went out to practice, and begged with me, I didn't allow it at the beginning, but Brother Tian said that since he embarked on the road of Yuan Lian, he didn't dare to slack off for half a moment, and studied hard day and night, but God was unfair, and he failed to make a breakthrough, he was really ashamed of the head of the family, ashamed of his father, and even more ashamed of the careful cultivation of the whole family for himself, I only hope that this time I can go out to practice, I can find an opportunity to make myself successful, and I beg hard, but I can't be stubborn, and I will ......" As he spoke, his voice was a little choked.

When everyone in the hall heard this, they all sighed and felt sorry for Luo Tian.

The golden-robed man was helpless in his behavior, put away his anger, and said calmly: "Having said that, Haoran, you are a brother after all, Tian'er has such an impulsive move, why don't you tell Uncle Kun that you know, let Tian'er come and cause such a catastrophe." As he spoke, he walked towards the stage.

When Luo Haoran heard this, the corners of his eyes were red, a few tears overflowed, he beat his chest, so he was not sad, and shouted: "Heaven is unfair, Brother Tian died young, Uncle Kun wants to punish Haoran alone, Haoran, as a brother, can't bear to watch Brother Tian depressed all day long, for fear that he will do something stupid one day, and everyone will be able to protect him, Brother Tian is worried that Uncle Kun will be suspenseful for him day and night, so he asked me to keep it secret, I never thought about it...... It's my brother's fault. ”

After Luo Haoran finished speaking, people on both sides of the hall pleaded for him, and secretly praised Luo Haoran's conduct and bearing in their hearts.

Only Luo Chuang on the side squinted at Luo Haoran with a look of disdain.

Seeing this, the golden-robed man didn't say much, and ordered: "Wait, immediately recruit a few people to rush to the Dawn Realm to find Tian'er's corpse, be sure to bring Tian'er's corpse back, my Luo family's people will never throw corpses in the wilderness."

In addition, although Haoran does not blame you for this, but you are an elder brother, you will inevitably be punished, and you will be punished for thinking behind closed doors for a month, and you will not be allowed to go out of the house for half a step in January, and the offender will be severely punished. After saying that, everyone took the order to retreat.

After everyone left, only the wheelchair man and the golden-robed man were left in the lobby, and they were silent for a long time, and the wheelchair man looked at the golden-robed man and said: "Brother Qian, don't tell Zeng Chu about Tian'er for the time being, for my business, she has suffered enough, I don't want her to have three longs and two shorts." ”

Hearing this, the man who was called Luo Gan nodded slightly and sighed: "Don't worry, Brother Kun, I will inform the whole government to strictly seal the news, and I will never let my younger siblings know, and you will tell her in person in the future." After speaking, he strode out of the house, leaving Luo Kun alone, with tears in the corners of his eyes, looking into the distance.

Late at night, the perimeter of the dawn.

I saw Xuan Hao with his feet apart at this time, lying on the trunk of the tree, unable to see the geometry of life and death.

Looking into the distance, I saw a little fire flickering not far away, swaying like a ghost fire.

When I got closer, I only heard the sound of a fight, and when I looked for the sound, there were two groups of people standing opposite each other in the forest at this time, adding up to one or twenty people.

Everyone is dressed differently, or a one-eyed dragon with a fierce face carrying a scimitar, or a big man with a sledgehammer with a face full of meat, or a frail scholar with a white face holding a folding fan, all covered in blood, and there are many corpses lying on the field.

At this time, the two groups of people seemed to be negotiating, about a half-hour, only to see a person rushing out from the right, raising his right hand, the iron claws on his hand looked particularly gloomy under the white moonlight, only to see his right hand wave, and the people behind him, with a bloodthirsty smile on their faces, rushed towards the crowd on the left.

The battle was about to break out, and for a while, there was another burst of swords and swords, blood droplets flying, and roars and laughter everywhere.

I saw two groups of people in the venue, all of them were good at practicing martial arts, or picking or stabbing or hooking or splitting, all of which were smooth operations, and for a while, the two groups of people were indeed difficult to distinguish between victory and defeat.

After a period of time, there was a violent sound of horses' hooves, and from the darkness, a black horse rushed out, only to see the person wearing a bright silver armor, a white cloak behind his back dancing in the wind, holding a seven-foot spear in his hand, rushing into the crowd, like watching fish and flowers, every time he passed, there would be a person who could not resist being stabbed to death.

The battle lasted for most of the hour, and thanks to the efforts of the pikemen and the giant hammer man, all the enemies were finally harvested, and of course, he suffered some minor injuries.

After a big battle, the original number of people on both sides of the country was reduced to six or seven, and all of them who were still alive were all in rags, critically injured, and lifeless.

At this time, I saw a flesh-faced man carrying a giant hammer on the right side, as if he was tired, groping around on the dead people, looking for something.

Every time I touch a piece of jade with a faint green light, I will smile like a child who has eaten candy.

After working for a while, I returned to everyone satisfied.

At this time, the pale scholar was carefully treating and bandaging everyone's injuries, but he was very lucky not to die in the war.

The flesh-faced man walked to the spearman's side, spread out his palms, revealing the dozen or so jade stones he had just searched, and couldn't hide his joy and said: "Big brother, don't lose, there are sixteen green jade coins, enough for us to recruit troops again, hahaha." ”

Hearing this, the spearman, but without the joy of the big man, looked at the dead brother, and felt a little regretful.

Seeing his displeasure, Dahan just stared at the corpse, pointed to the ground and said: "Big brother, don't worry, when I burn it, I'm afraid that he will be a ball, and the crazy wolf will definitely not know that we did it." ”

As he spoke, he was about to do it, but when the spearman saw this, he hurriedly stopped: "It's okay to burn it, but it's not appropriate in the end, even if Feng Lang doesn't know that we did it, if this matter is found out by the 'Yixuantang', or if it is known by the people of the City Lord's Mansion, won't we become thieves who kill people and steal goods?" ”

Hearing this, the big man became more and more angry, and said angrily: "Big brother, you are afraid that the group of turtle eggs in the City Lord's Mansion will do something, and they don't have such great magical powers, they are just a group of wastes who eat and wait for death, as for Yi Xuan......"

As he spoke, the big man stopped talking, and the spearman smiled: "You don't care about the 'Thousand Pivots' of the Yixuan Hall?"

After speaking, the big man was speechless and hid aside to drink alone.

Seeing this, the scholar on the side walked up to the spearman and said, "Big brother, I heard the conversation between you and the second brother just now, this matter is indeed difficult to handle, but it is not completely impossible. ”

Hearing this, the pikeman was overjoyed and asked, "What do you have to do?" ”

The two approached, whispered for a while, and finally had a feasible plan, while the sky was still bright, everyone cleaned up, and they all rested.
