Chapter 30: The Secret of the City Lord's Mansion
"It's harder than you think to comprehend sword intent! I really don't know how to comprehend? ”
Ye Chu had almost sensed the storage of the sword intent, and she only needed to gently push the door open, and she could touch it, if she was fighting against the Heavenly Martial Artist, she couldn't let her push open the door, and she had nothing to do in a short period of time, so she could only concentrate on understanding it and look for opportunities again!
Ye Chu pulled the broken sleeves a little irritably, exhaled a breath leisurely, calmed down, slowly walked past the old man's side, pulled out the rusty sword, inserted it back into his waist, and looked at the stunned trio with an indifferent face, "Let's go!" Let's go back to Station Five! ”
It may be that the previous bad luck has been dissipated, and Ye Chu and his party returned to the No. 5 station all the way without any danger. After settling Zhang Ji, He Shan, and Zhan Rou, Ye Chu quietly left the No. 5 station alone.
Choosing a place with beautiful mountains and rivers, Ye Chu dug a deep pit with his own hands and put Zhan Bo'an in it. She thought about it for a while, but put Zhanbo's storage bag in it and closed the soil.
She stood silently for a while, smiling self-deprecatingly, she can be regarded as a pit teammate, fortunately, her pit digging skills are not bad! "Goodbye, Captain! Never again! ”
The City Lord's Mansion of Wuyuan City.
The city lord Zhan Zhenjie took a negative hand, stood in front of his wife's bed, and let out a long sigh.
A sturdy woman with a bowl of thick black medicinal soup in her hand stood behind him. smiled and said, "Madam, it's time to take medicine!" ”
The woman on the bed was about thirty years old, but she seemed to be sick, and her face was a little pale and haggard, but she still couldn't hide her extremely beautiful appearance, dusty demeanor, especially a pair of wonderful eyes, which were crystal clear and bright! She raised her hand to take the bitter medicinal soup and drank it all, as if she didn't feel the pain at all!
Zhan Zhenjie walked quickly to Liu Wan's side, carefully wiped the medicine stains on her mouth, and said, "Didn't my daughter come back with a secret letter and say that she was fine?" Why are you still worried about getting sick? As I told you, the places where those people go are mysterious and dangerous, but there are also many restrictions, and mortals are not allowed to set foot in them. Rou'er's cultivation path is completely different from theirs, and she can't get in, so naturally she won't encounter any danger. Your body can't be on fire in a hurry! ”
Liu Wan's face was a little stunned, she coughed twice, and said, "It's all my body, it's all dragged down by you all these years!" She took Zhan Zhenjie's hand, her voice was weak but firm, "This time my daughter is fine, but what about next time?" When I came back this time, I couldn't say anything and let her follow those people anymore. ”
Zhan Zhenjie patted her hand soothingly, hiding the worried look on his face, smiled at her, and said softly: "Okay, listen to you." When Xiaorou comes back this time, let her stay at home with you, and don't go anywhere! ”
Liu Wan shook her head and smiled lightly, "You don't have to be perfunctory to me, I know my body, no matter how much I heal it, it won't help, I just want our family to be safe." Xiaorou can be safe, and you don't have to work hard with those people. ”
Hearing Liu Wan's words, Zhan Zhenjie's fists clenched involuntarily, and he exhaled slowly, "If it comes to being involved, it is because I have not fulfilled my responsibility as a husband and father, if it wasn't for the "man in black who disappeared without a trace" who injured you, how could your body be like this." He accentuated the "man in black", and the mockery on his face flashed, and those people relied on their strength to treat him as a fool.
When he thought of "those people", Zhan Zhenjie's face was full of resentment.
Zhan Zhenjie was originally the second son of the city lord of Wuyuan City, and he was protected by his father and mother as soon as he was born, he had a good talent, a high status, and no responsibility on his shoulders, and he did not develop the right to be a domineering character, growing up carefree all the way, and his biggest wish was to grow up quickly and become his own son with Liu Wan, a childhood sweetheart, and grow old together.
Unexpectedly, the situation changed, and several people who fell from the sky completely changed his life!
The "cultivation of immortals", "sects", and "outside worlds" that his father only said in his mouth, those myths and stories that were too distant and unfamiliar to him became true.
After that, the family did not become a family. The city lord's mansion was frequently transferred, his father became busy, and he began endless quarrels with his brother, and his mother was in a dilemma, and her heart was heavy and she quickly grew old. Until one day, my brother's body was carried back, and my mother's body completely collapsed, and it didn't take long for her to die of depression. My father was hit in a row, and he turned white overnight.
Zhan Zhenjie learned everything from his father.
The ancestor of their branch is actually an inner disciple of the Heavenly Sect on the Immortal Yuan Continent. Wuyuan City was to be banned because of an accident 10,000 years ago. Therefore, his ancestors were used by the sect as their followers and stayed in this Wuyuan City.
Here, the ancestor worked diligently for a hundred years before establishing the City Lord's Mansion, and tried his best to return to Tianyi Gate again, this wish was not realized until his death, but it was passed down by word of mouth.
The efforts of the City Lord's Mansion from generation to generation wanted to return to the legendary and magical Immortal Continent, but they did not achieve any effect, so the descendants gradually became cold to this matter, and just regarded this story as a proof of the long history of the City Lord's Mansion.
Who knew that in Zhan Zhenjie's father's generation, several messengers who claimed to be Tianyi Men suddenly appeared, making the things that had been abandoned dawn.
But it also caused the Zhan family to be ruined!
Before his father passed away, he broke the matter into pieces, analyzed it for him, and told him to endure it!
The teenage boy buried his father's hatred, his mother's hatred, and his brother's death deep in his heart, and under Liu Wan's comfort and care, he carried the entire city lord's mansion.
I don't know if his acting skills are not strong, and he shows his feet. Or those people are too old and cunning, in order to control him, those people don't even let go of his wife and children, when his wife was pregnant, she was attacked by the so-called man in black, dragged her body, and barely gave birth to a daughter, but she also fell ill and lingered on the sickbed for more than ten years!
This time he didn't want to endure it, and he couldn't bear it anymore, sooner or later......
He sneered and said, "What we are asking for is just an ordinary pill that strengthens the foundation of Peiyuan, and to them, it is nothing at all. The reason why they refused to give it to me was just to ask me to do things for them with all my heart. ”
Liu Wan's fingers gently rubbed Zhan Zhenjie's eyebrows, frowned slightly, and said leisurely: "Knowing that they refuse to give it, why do you embarrass yourself so much?" ”
Zhan Zhenjie's face showed a touch of ruthlessness, "Now I can't help them!" Xiao Rou said that Zhanbo was missing, coupled with the news from over there, the old man was flustered, and kept saying that the "life card" was broken, and that kid must be in danger, even if he didn't die, he was seriously injured. There are only a few of those people, and one of them has been absent for a long time, if you still want to succeed, you have to use me in this Wuyuan City. Don't worry, this time I will definitely be able to ask for a elixir to cure your illness. ”
A quiet courtyard on the west side of the City Lord's Mansion.
A tall, white-haired old man walked around the house restlessly. Cold sweat was dripping on the well-maintained face, the green tendons on the forehead burst out, and a face was red and a little black, looking shocked and angry.
"Not only is he the cultivation of the Great Perfection of Qi Cultivation, but he also has a life-saving magic weapon given by the ancestor on his body, at least he can withstand the full force of the Jindan Period, how can the life card be shattered?" He muttered, his trembling hand clutching a torn jade plaque, "Could it be that this place is too dangerous?" Or is 'that old guy' tempted to make a move? ”
The life card and soul lamp are a kind of magic weapons used to protect and monitor disciples in the sect of the Immortal Yuan Continent.
The life card is a jade plate made by extracting a trace of a disciple's essence blood, while the soul lamp is refined by extracting a trace of a disciple's divine soul. Both can be used to sense the situation of the disciple, and the general location of the disciple can be found through the special exercises.
The effect of the soul lamp is stronger than that of the life card, the person is in the instrument, the person is dead, and the weapon is destroyed, and even some information can be received from the disciple before he dies. However, the soul lamp can only be made after the golden pill and the divine consciousness transforms into the divine soul.
The fate card is more crude, and it can only judge whether the disciple has encountered mortal danger, but cannot judge life and death.
A little disciple shrank aside, not even daring to come out, trying his best to reduce his sense of existence. The master usually looks like a fairy wind, but his temper is extremely irritable, this time when the senior brother has an accident, the master is angry, maybe he will use him as a punching bag.
"Hasn't Senior Brother Yue come back yet?" Just as he was thinking, the old man's eyes widened angrily and he glared fiercely.
"Senior Brother Cheng, they have already gone out to look for it, and they haven't come back yet." The little disciple replied tremblingly.
"Then why don't you go looking for it? What are you doing standing here stupidly? Rubbish! The old man waved his hand, and a strong wind struck, and the little disciple spat out blood like a cannonball, smashing the door and falling heavily into the courtyard.
Junior disciple Yang Mingchen turned his head and spit out another mouthful of blood, and the resentment in his eyes flashed. The good thing to say is that he was accepted as a disciple, but in fact, he was simply treated as a miscellaneous servant, and he didn't teach at all, and when he was in a bad mood, he beat and scolded. He was secretly ruthless in his heart, and sooner or later he would ......
At this time, there was a very noisy footstep outside the hospital, and Yang Mingchen looked up to see a man in his forties, with big sleeves in a robe and a fair face, walking like a fly. Behind him were several young men panting. It was the senior brother Yue who was anxiously waiting in the old man's mouth, Yue Xuejun.
Yue Xuejun strode into the courtyard, saw Yang Mingchen vomiting blood and fell to the ground, frowned, and said, "Your master is inside?" ”
Yang Mingchen nodded, "It seems that Senior Brother Zhan's life card is broken, and the master is not in a good mood!" ”
Yue Xuejun's face changed drastically, and he hurriedly crossed him, went straight to the room, waved his hand, and a burst of energy surged, and the enchantment came out, isolating the sound from the outside.
The few disciples who followed cleverly stopped and helped Yang Mingchen up.
Yang Mingchen thanked these brothers and sisters, clutched his chest, and slowly withdrew from the courtyard. His mind turned, although he didn't know what this life card was and what it did, but he was sure that something had happened to Zhanbo, and it was not a trivial matter.
