On the eve of dawn, Xia Mang went down to the second floor again, saw the dwarf dwarf, and didn't know what to say to the dwarf, so that the dwarf swept away the depressed look, his face was full of excitement, and then he threw away the strange knife and ran directly out of the wind and snow building.

About half an hour later, the dwarf returned, and at the same time he was carrying a long strip of something on his shoulder, wrapped in rags, and vaguely oozing blood.

The dwarf spun around excitedly, looking like a thief, and at last he ran to the back, and when he came back empty-handed, not knowing where to hide what he was carrying on his shoulders.

Qin Feihua and Duan Shen were at a loss, although they were curious, they didn't have time to ask more, after all, all their thoughts were now focused on the opening of Fengxue Restaurant, and the wine and money had not yet been settled.

When they encounter an unreliable landlord, they can only rely on themselves.

The two guys didn't sleep all night, and as soon as the sky was bright, they sat at the table to think of a way, with a sad face, sighing, and occasionally getting together, muttering, and discussing ideas.

After dawn, the day dawned quickly, when the sun covered the wind and snow, the sky and the earth cleared.

Qin Feihua and Duan Shen are both understanding people, knowing that it is not a way to do this, the money and wine will not come by themselves, as soon as the two of them are combined, they will run out to try their luck.

Only Xia Mang, who was cultivating on the second floor, was left in the Wind and Snow Building, and the dwarf who still couldn't hide his excitement, he muttered in a low voice: "Let you be a bastard and pit Lao Tzu, this time Lao Tzu will kill you!"

The more he thought about it, the more excited he became, and suddenly he seemed to think of the wonder, and with a strange scream, he actually volleyed somersaults.

On the second floor, Xia Mang is comprehending the "Fundamental Law of Demons from Humans", and his fingers are changing, like a phantom, with an ethereal aura, and he gradually enters a wonderful realm.

......

In the Demon City, there is an old saying that "the east magpie bridge, the west back finch, the south stone, the north is not old".

In fact, this is talking about four avenues, Queqiao Street in the east, Beique Street in the west, Stone Alley in the south, and Ageless Alley in the north.

There is a magical dry moon well on Queqiao Street, there is a big willow tree at the end of Beique Street, there is a big stone mill with a pitch-black body in the stone alley, which is suspected of sealing a living real dragon, and the northernmost alley is also strange.

Ageless alley, in the name of "ageless", this is already mysterious.

There's a dead vine there.

The withered vine has always been withered, never green, not even a little bud has been revealed, for many years, the withered vine has always been a withered vine, but strangely, no one touched it, let it coil on the support, a hundred years like a day.

Behind the withered vines, there is a low grave, overgrown with weeds, apparently no one has repaired and swept the tomb for many years, there is a tablet standing in front of the tomb, the black tablet has no words, this is an empty tablet.

In front of the monument, there is a black humanoid skeleton.

It was a real skeleton, not even a little flesh and blood, and the blood stains had long since dried up, but it had been sitting in front of the monument without the slightest sign of sand.

It's just that unlike a normal skeleton, it's pitch black, as if splashed with ink.

In fact, it is precisely because of the existence of this mound and the black skeleton that this place has become a "forbidden area" for everyone, and it is rumored that few people close to this place can leave alive, and even if they are lucky enough to get out alive, they are either crazy or stupid.

It is said that Zhao Sidao of the Sidao Inn became so stupid because he came to the withered vine here.

It is also said that those who approached this place but did not leave it were "eaten" by the small mound and swallowed into the tomb, and some said that the black skeleton was the cause of it...... There are a lot of rumors, and all kinds of evil sayings are spreading, and everyone is spreading falsehoods, and the rumors are becoming more and more mysterious, and few people are getting closer to this place anymore.

But today some people came to the withered vines.

It was a tall old man, with gray hair and a big coat, holding a pitch-black fishing rod in his right hand, and dragging a white fish bone nearly ten feet long in his left hand.

This is the old man who likes to call himself an "old man".

Yesterday, after he asked the butcher shop Ji Butcher about the direction of Fengxue Building, he didn't go to Fengxue Building, but came to the dead vines in this old alley, of course, it is also possible that he has been to Fengxue Building, but he just didn't show up.

The old man stood in front of the withered vines, looked at the old vines that had long since dried up, and sighed: "The withered vines and old trees are faint, and the small bridges and flowing water are ...... The withered vines and old trees are still there, the small bridges and flowing water are also there, and there are many people...... But where the crow is, it may have flown away a long time ago. ”

His expression was emotional, and his tone was a little complicated, "Away from hatred, this city, it's been many, many years, and I'm finally back old man." ”

He stood in front of the withered vine for a long time, looked at it for a long time, and said to himself: "If one day, the withered vine spits green, the old tree flies, the crow is not faint, and the old man is really not old...... It's the end of everything, but I'm afraid I won't be able to wait for that day!"

In addition to hatred and hatred, back and forth many times, each time it is like the reincarnation of hell on earth, he is very dissatisfied every time, at first he still came with expectations, but he was disappointed and left, many times, and he despaired, and then came back, like going through a scene, indifferently, indifferently.

The old man stood in front of the withered vine for a few more moments, and then went around to the small mound.

He didn't look at the small mound overgrown with weeds and the wordless black stele erected in front of the tomb, but looked at the black skeleton sitting in front of the stele and said with a smile: "Old friend, I'm back to see you again." ”

He was actually talking to the black skeleton, and if this scene was seen by others, I am afraid that he would think that he had met a madman.

The black skull remained dead silent, silent.

"If you pretend to be dead for a long time, you may really die one day. The old man said to himself: "You have guarded the tomb for yourself for so many years, you are not tired, I am tired for you." ”

He shook his head and casually put ten fish bones in front of the grave.

"You old immortal who likes to find death is not dead yet, how can I die. Suddenly, a hoarse voice came from inside the black skull, "You're back again." ”

The black skull actually spoke, and a voice came out!

"yes, it's back. The old man sighed, how many times, it is all such a dialogue, and the word "again" has done too many things.

"Are you still leaving?" asked the Black Skull.

"I'm not leaving. The old man shook his head and said with a smile: "Stay with you." ”

"If you wanted to stay, you stayed many years ago. The black skeleton's tone was very calm, "In this city, who has interested you again, or did you say that you failed to fish out the Kunpeng, but only hooked a small Kun bone, and was robbed of business, and you were dissatisfied, and you want to stay and fight with that person, and break your wrist?"
