Chapter 824: Weird City Lord's Mansion
In her previous life, because of all kinds of pursuits, she didn't have this kind of superfluous affection. Because I was thinking about how to escape all day long, I didn't have time to make friends, so naturally there was a lot less love that I should have. But now she may be the truest version of herself.
"Let's go! Town. Bloody said coldly to everyone.
After Mo Jiuxi and Tianqi waved goodbye to the colorful elk, they followed everyone into the city gate.
Fortunately, the day came just in time, and if it was a quarter of an hour late, the gates would have been closed, and they would have to wait until the next day before they could enter the city.
A group of several people walked into the streets of Lingcheng, and their high appearance attracted many eyes.
Hundred Nights Scarlet was the only woman among them, and this time she didn't wear a silver mask, and her peerless appearance made strange men cast a bold gaze.
Glancing around coldly, the men who were bold enough to look around were all so frightened that they shuddered, and they all withdrew their gaze, not daring to look at it at will.
"Excuse me, where should the City Lord's Mansion go?" Xuan Rui grabbed Xiao Er from the roadside teahouse and asked politely.
Xiao Er was silent, and he had no ability to resist people with good looks: "Keep going east for about an hour, and then turn north, and you can see it." ”
Xuan Rui thanked him politely and repeated it to Mo Jiuxi.
Several of them met everyone's curious and amazed eyes and went straight to the teleportation array.
Indeed, as Xiao Er said just now, they probably walked for more than an hour before they saw the words "City Lord's Mansion".
"By the way, it's so late, will the Spirit City City Lord open the teleportation array?" Bai Zhengxi looked curiously at the quaint courtyard that was flooded by the night.
"You'll have to go in to find out." Xuan Rui shook his head, stepped up the steps, and knocked on the vermilion door with his hand.
The crisp sound of "knock ......" is especially harsh in the dark night.
After about a few minutes, the door was "creaked" open a crack, and from inside came an old man's head with a wrinkled face, he squinted his old eyes, and asked in a hoarse and low voice, "May I ask what you are doing?" ”
Mo Jiuxi held her breath, for some reason, the moment the two doors opened, she actually felt a cold yin qi rushing towards her.
With a solemn face, the bloody face took Mo Jiuxi behind him, which was enough to prove that Mo Jiuxi's feeling just now was not wrong, and there was indeed something wrong with this City Lord's Mansion.
"Old man, please tell the city lord that we are here to ride the teleportation array." Xuan Rui suppressed the coldness in his eyes and maintained an elegant and warm image as much as possible.
The old man's eyes swept over them one by one, and finally he spat out indifferently: "Wait a minute, let the old man go and ask the city lord." ”
Xuan Rui nodded in response, and the vermilion door closed tightly again.
Bai Zhengxi and Han Shaoxian's faces were not very good, but I think they also felt something, but it was difficult to express that feeling.
"It's dead air." The blood squinted at the narrow phoenix eyes, and swallowed slowly.
Everyone turned their curious eyes to the blood, looking like they were waiting for an explanation.
It's a pity that before the blood demon could be explained, the old man just now suddenly opened the door again, and said mechanically: "The city lord let you in." ”
Demon Jiuxi and Bloody Demon glanced at each other, even though they knew that there was a cat inside, they still had to go in. Because if you don't go in, you will face a strong demon, and if you go in, you will face an unknown risk, and compared with the two, she naturally chooses the unknown risk.
Stepping into the vermilion gate, an even more gloomy aura rushed again, and even Mo Jiuxi, who had the blood of the demon clan, couldn't help but shiver.
"Old man, why don't there be slaves in the City Lord's Mansion? Who is the lord of the castle waiting? Bai Zhengxi raised an innocent smile and asked the hunchbacked old man with a pretended ignorance on his face.
The old man carried the lantern and glanced at Bai Zhengxi with an expressionless face: "Whether the city lord has anyone to serve has nothing to do with you. ”
Bai Zhengxi pursed his lips boringly and muttered in a low voice: "Cut, stingy!" You can't even ask. "It's a small voice, but it's just enough for everyone to hear.
The hunchbacked old man did not speak again this time, but silently led everyone to the inner room.
The area of the City Lord's Mansion in Lingcheng is not large, just like the courtyard of an ordinary family, but there is no light in the entire courtyard except for the lantern in the old man's hand. And he is also the lord of a city, but there is no one except the old man, which is not consistent with the slavery system of gluttonous territory.
If something goes wrong, there must be a demon, this is the conclusion that Mo Jiuxi secretly made.
Observing the surrounding environment quietly, although this courtyard is small, it is complete, and there are rockeries and lotus ponds, but the courtyard that looks extremely normal is full of strong dead air, which makes him extremely concerned.
After Tianqi walked in here, his expression became extremely strict. He wanted to say something to Mo Jiuxi, but the old man in front of him was too close to them, so it was really difficult to speak, for fear of startling the snake.
"This is the city lord's room, the city lord's health has not been good, if you want to take the teleportation array, go in and discuss." After speaking, the old man slowly disappeared into the night with the lantern.
The only light was taken away, and the darkness around them was suddenly plunged into darkness.
Mo Jiuxi frowned in displeasure, and a flash of fire lit up on his fingertips, which immediately illuminated a qiē.
"Divine Fire!" Han Shaoxian raised his eyes in surprise, it was the first time he had seen Huang'er release the divine fire, such a scorching temperature and enthusiastic color, probably Yanhuo.
I don't know if it was Mo Jiuxi's illusion, after she released the divine fire, she actually felt that the cold aura around her body had subsided a little.
The blood suddenly grabbed Mo Jiuxi's arm, and he probably had a few clues.
Bai Zhengxi was bold and stepped forward to push the door open.
In the center of the room sat a young man with a pale face, looking at Bai Zhengxi motionlessly, his eyes were dull and strange.
"Oh my God!" Bai Zhengxi was frightened and moved back, who would have thought that he would open the door and see such a scene? And the man looked at him with a strange look.
Mo Jiuxi hugged Tianqi and moved closer to the blood, to be honest, she was also shocked just now. Because of the fire, she could see clearly that there was nothing in the room, only the chair in the center and the young man in the chair.
"Is it the lord of the castle?" Xuan Rui asked stubbornly.
The pale-faced man suddenly rolled his eyes, and this scene seemed even more strange in the eyes of everyone, and even made people uncomfortable.
"You're going to ride the teleportation array?" The man's eyes were still wide, and his tone was obscure and stiff.
"Yes, I'm in a bit of a hurry, so I want to take it now." Xuan Rui felt his goosebumps rise, if it weren't for this person talking, he might really think he'd seen a hell.
