Volume 1 The Lurker Twenty-second Palm The Long Street of Shadows
It was another night, and after Liu Banfan woke up yesterday, he repeatedly examined Lu Yuxi's body again. Finally, with the help of Ah Wu, he found out where the place that had puzzled him all the time but couldn't tell. "It's so clean!"
That's right, under the careful investigation of his powerful soul power, there is no soul residue in Lu Yuxi's body, if it is really a self-exploding soul, it cannot be so clean. This made him strongly suspicious of Lu Yuxi's death.
"Hopefully it's not my delusion, she should still be alive!"
Four days later, the news of the Ministry of Industry of the Great Xia Dynasty finally reached the City Lord's Mansion and the local wealthy clans. Gu Changkong was at home looking at the map of Nanli City on the table and studying, and as soon as he looked up, he saw his son's unbeaten face.
"Dad, what are you busy doing?" What are we going to do when the Ministry of Industry comes back to a place where our birds don't?"
"Who knows! Ask the frontier cities to cooperate unconditionally. He even sent someone from the royal family to supervise the work, which is unheard of!" Liu Banfan looked at Gu Changkong, who had been staring at the map, and asked out loud.
"What's there to see on this map?"
"Although we don't know the specific project yet, we must be ready to clean up the three streets in the west of the city in the south of the city, and I will study and study to see if we can see some clues!"
Liu Banfan followed Gu Changkong's finger and saw that the entire west of Nanli City was facing the direction of Nanli Mountain, which was also the most severely damaged place this time, and almost half of the buildings were destroyed. And the three streets of Linxi, Wutong and Xuanyuan that are now marked are the three main roads before the destruction of the west of the city. Looking at the three streets on the map that still remained their original appearance, Liu Banfan's pupils suddenly contracted.
"Isn't this a triangle!" Gu Changkong was stunned for a moment when he heard this, and then laughed.
"It's really a twisted triangle, I really didn't pay attention to this map, my son is so smart!" Liu Banfan ignored Gu Changkong, who doted on his children to the extreme, and his mind spun rapidly.
"This is the second time, and the Mishima Bridge is also a triangular building! Coincidence or intentional?" he was puzzled and decided to go to the west of the city to have a look. said hello to Gu Changkong, took the two doglegs and the maid Junjun, and Liu Banfan went straight to the west of the city. As soon as he entered the west of the city, he felt the pain and wailing of the sky, and among the wreckage everywhere, there were still corpse movers who were cleaning the bones and shuttling among them.
The attendant Li Hu saw that his face was wrong, and carefully returned, "Young master, the west of this city was originally a place where the poor gathered, and the three sects and nine streams were rampant. After the destruction, it naturally takes more time to resume production. ”
"Alright, which of the three streets is closest to us?"
"Wutong Lane is the closest!" After receiving the reply, he asked Li Long and Li Hu to open the way in front of the two brothers, and walked straight to Wutong Lane through the chaotic crowd.
"This is Wutong Lane?" The street in front of Liu Banfan was completely in ruins, and there was not even a single figure. Fortunately, Wutong Lane is said to be an alley, but it actually grows a lot more than ordinary streets, and there are still some places that have not collapsed in the distance, and some shadows can be vaguely seen. At this time, the maid Junjun ran over.
"Young master, I asked. They said that this Wutong Lane was the most severely destroyed place that day, and now it has been completely abandoned!" "Since there was a ban on flying in every city of the Great Xia Dynasty, Liu Banfan and his party, who were quite helpless looking at the chaotic scene in front of them, had to turn to Xuanyuan 14th Street. Unexpectedly, I happened to meet the dead fat man Zhu Xizhao halfway through.
"Yo, Brother Gu, I haven't seen you for a few days, how is the injury? Alas, your little Junjun is getting more and more refreshed!" Zhu Xizhao was still smiling, and his face was like a chrysanthemum. Facing Zhu Xizhao's ridicule, Junjun directly gave him a roll of his eyes, and Xiao Qiong's nose twitched on his delicate goose egg face. As long as her son-in-law is by her side, this little girl will dare to scare anyone.
"You also came to these three streets?" Facing Liu Banfan's inquiry, Zhu Xizhao made no secret of it.
"Of course, most of this Xuanyuan 14th Street is my family's property, although it was damaged this time, but I also want to come and see, how did this broken place be favored by the Imperial Ministry of Industry! Unlike himself, who only brought two foundation building monks, Li Long and Li Hu, this Zhu Xi brought more than a dozen guards with him. A group of people cleared the road and poured into Xuanyuan 14th Street.
"This Xuanyuan 14th Street was originally the largest commercial street in the entire west of the city, so the damage to the building was relatively light. All the owners and their families who rented my shop in the south have been transferred out of our business, and it is now an empty street. Zhu Xizhao, who was walking on the street, introduced Liu Banfan. Among the three streets that the Ministry of Industry asked to be moved, this Xuanyuan 14th Street is the widest and longest among them.
Now you can still see the prosperity of the past, different shops are undulating, and you can even see shops for monks to trade, and I don't know if the boss will lose money in the west of the city, where poor mortals gather.
"The Lang Ke Lou in front is the largest restaurant in the west of the city, and the materials are exquisite, and it is basically undamaged. Although it is now closed, the view is excellent, and we can see the whole of Xuanyuan 14th Street when we go there. Under the leadership of Zhu Xizhao, the owner of this place, Liu Banfan immediately nodded. The group was all monks, and even the maid Junjun had a foundation building cultivation, so they quickly arrived at their destination.
"It is said that your Zhu family has the richest financial resources in the entire Nanli City, which is really true!" The rotten Ke building that appeared in front of him was dozens of zhang high, all of which were built of gloomy wood, and there was no damage under the ground movement.
"Brother Gu smiled, the small traders are not as good as your Gu family. We went upstairs. A few people didn't stop in the middle, and went straight to the open platform with the best view on the roof of the Rotten Ke Building. However, as soon as they entered the platform, the sight in front of them immediately made the guards firmly protect the two of them in the middle. Zhu Xizhao and Liu Banfan glanced at each other, and their faces were very ugly.
Liu Banfan separated Li Long and Li Hu, and directly stepped forward to try this rich feast that filled all the wine tables, and scolded with a smile. "It's hot!"
Zhu Xizhao, whose face was gloomy, was immediately furious, and ordered, "Search for me, even the tiger whiskers of the two of us dare to touch them, I want to see who is impatient!" However, under the scanning of the divine consciousness of many monks, not to mention this rotten building, even Xuanyuan Fourteenth Street could not find a single figure.
"Brother Gu, what do you say is going on? You have also seen that the people of my business alliance have completely blocked this street since that day in order to avoid the destruction of the rebels in the west of the city, and the old man of my family personally ordered it. If you hadn't come with me, you'd have been stopped at the street just now. ”
"Why do you want to do so much? The son of a daughter, you can't sit down! Let's withdraw first, Lao Tzu is still injured! Usually it's just a matter of showing off your might, if someone really does it, you still expect these foundations to protect us!"
"Isn't this what you're used to! Who dares to do anything to us in Nanli City!" Zhu Xizhao, who was strong-mouthed, immediately followed Liu Banfan downstairs.
Although everyone is a famous drunkard, but Gu Yusheng has inherited his Lao Tzu's cultivation talent, three days of fishing is still the first day of the south leaving the city, Jindan's peak cultivation can save his life from the Holy Son War, and he has to follow at this time during the foundation building period!
"I haven't felt it yet, this one after another, the frontier is about to change! When I go back, I will transfer two golden pills to protect me all day!" Zhu Xizhao, who was still chattering, directly bumped into Liu Banfan's back, and then he saw the scene that made his hair stand on end.
I saw that on the long street outside the Rotten Ke Building, it turned out to be a prosperous scene in the past. Hawkers, steaming heat. There is also a moving girl who hides her face shyly. Turning around at dusk, in front of the Rotten Ke Building behind him, two Xiao Si were greeting enthusiastically, and the drinkers in the building were drinking and having fun, and it was very lively. However, all these scenes did not make any sound, everything in front of him was like a mime on the entire long street, performing heartily in front of Liu Banfan and a few others!
"It's okay now, see the hell in the daytime, and die without illness!" Zhu Xizhao shivered with fat all over his body, looking at Xiao Si of the rotten Kelou behind him. In the past, when he came here to inspect this guy, he was the best at patting on the back, and that one-handed sycophant kung fu could make him feel embarrassed! But this guy had already died at home in Wutong Lane on the day of the great change in Nanli City, and he was still the corpse collected by the Shang League!
Liu Banfan looked at the trembling Zhu Xizhao, and asked inappropriately, "Old Zhu, are we brothers?"
"Of course, Brother Gu, what are you talking about at this time! As long as your cultivation is the highest, hurry up and find a way!" Zhu Xizhao turned around and saw the cheap smile on Liu Banfan's face.
"Since it's a brother, you will go first when something happens, Lao Tzu is still hurt!"
