Chapter 161: Border City
Hu Hongtian's eyes were a little gloomy, which made my heart tighten suddenly, I don't know what his intentions were.
"This time, let you go to the forbidden land, in order to seize the dragon's heart!" Hu Hongtian paused word by word, and what he said was clear.
I listened, and on the surface I pretended to be nothing, but in fact, I was so annoyed that I almost crushed my back molars.
After Gu Shaoting and Liu Yan listened, they immediately looked at me, the difference was that Gu Shaoting's eyes were worried, and Liu Yan was a little surprised.
"Master, isn't that demon dragon dead? Wasn't he killed by the Heavenly Master of the Demon Slayer Pavilion before? Liu Yan obviously didn't know anything.
Even about Long Xuanling being imprisoned in the forbidden land, he didn't know about it.
Hu Hongtian picked up the cup, took a sip of tea, and said slowly: "The people of the Demon Slayer Pavilion didn't do it, they wanted to get the dragon's heart, but the demon dragon was cunning, and the Demon Slayer Pavilion hadn't succeeded yet." ”
Hu Hongtian said, and looked at me again: "An Zhi, if you can really come back with the dragon's heart this time, then the position of the owner of the Demon Slayer Pavilion will be willing to be handed over to you as a teacher!" ”
When he said this, his expression was extremely serious.
I immediately bowed my head: "The disciple must do his best, but An's technique is shallow, just afraid?" ”
Hu Hongtian didn't wait for me to finish, and immediately interrupted me: "An Zhi, you have talent, so you don't have to be arrogant, take care of you for the teacher, but the rest of you also have to work hard, if you can't get the dragon's heart for a while, bring the demon dragon back!" ”
"Bring the demon dragon back? I'm afraid that it will anger the people of the Demon Slayer Pavilion. Liu Yusheng looked at Hu Hongtian and said.
When Hu Hongtian heard this, his face changed greatly: "When did my Demon Slayer Pavilion ever be afraid of the Demon Slayer Pavilion?" What's more, the demon dragon was discovered by us this time, if we didn't grasp the route to enter the Dragon City, what else would there be in the Demon Slaying Pavilion? ”
"Master, what Senior Brother Liu said is reasonable, after the Demon Tower competition, the number of disciples in the Demon Slayer Pavilion has decreased sharply, if the Demon Slayer Pavilion is in trouble again, I'm afraid?" Gu Shaoting's expression also became solemn.
"Don't worry, the teacher has his own way to deal with them, you just need to do it according to the teacher's method." After Hu Hongtian finished speaking, he stood up.
He personally escorted us to the main entrance of the Deepavali Pavilion, where a car was already parked.
Hu Hongtian watched us get into the car, did not leave, but kept staring, the car drove out of the street, I looked at him from the rearview mirror, and the eyebrows were tightly condensed together.
Liu Yan, who was sitting next to me, suddenly started a relationship with me.
"Little junior sister, I hope you will take care of me on this trip." Liu Yan said, took out a bag of pastries from his baggage, handed it to me, and asked me to eat some: "Little junior sister, this is the best cloud cinnamon cake in Tianxianglou, you can taste it." ”
"No need, senior brother, I don't like sweets, and I'm afraid that my senior brother will take care of me more along the way, I haven't been in the museum for a long time, and there are still many deficiencies." I pushed the pastry away and smiled faintly at Liu Yan.
Liu Yan's face changed greatly when he heard this: "Little junior sister, if you say this, it is too outward, but for the matter of taking the dragon's heart, you still have to come to the little junior sister, after all, you are the woman of the demon dragon!" ”
As soon as Liu Yan's words fell, I turned my eyes to the window and was silent.
"Let's rest for a while, I don't know what will happen next." Liu Yusheng, who was driving, interrupted Liu Yan's words.
Sitting next to Liu Yusheng was Gu Shaoting, and Gu Shaoting was also holding a very carefully drawn map in his hand, on which the route to the forbidden place was marked.
The forbidden land is far away from here, and it must be reached after a journey of four days and three nights.
And Liu Yusheng and Liu Yan acted as drivers all the way, and the two took turns to drive for two days, but on the third day, Liu Yusheng suddenly went around to a small county town called Border City to stay overnight and rest.
I didn't know until I arrived, because Liu Yusheng also had a distant uncle here, and he wanted to spend the night here before setting off.
And, with a thorough number of gifts, he also prepared gifts.
It's just that when the car stopped at the gate of Naliu Mansion, we found that there was a white cloth hanging at the door, and there was a white couplet, which should be a white thing.
Liu Yusheng thought for a while, but still stepped forward and knocked on the door of the house.
After a while, a servant dressed as a servant came and opened the door to us, and when he saw us, he asked who we were looking for.
"In Xia Liu Yusheng, I came to visit my uncle and aunt." Liu Yusheng looked at the servant and said.
The servant was stunned for a moment, looked at a few of us, and saw that we were all dressed very neatly, not like liars, so he went to help report it.
When he came out again, he was followed by a thin man with a goatee.
The man looked a little tired, and after walking in front of us, Liu Yusheng opened his mouth to call uncle.
But the man carefully looked Liu Yusheng up and down several times before he spoke: "Yusheng is really you?" Oops, that's amazing, you've grown so big? ”
The other party looked at Liu Yusheng in disbelief and said, Liu Yusheng also nodded with a respectful smile: "The last time I saw my uncle, it was ten years ago, when I was still young. ”
"Yes, yes, come on, Yusheng come in." The goatee man immediately invited Liu Yusheng and us in.
Although this house is not large, it is very elegantly furnished, you can see green plants everywhere, and there is a rockery in the front yard.
The man led us into the hall, and a few maids came to serve us, and laid out tea and pastries.
Liu Yusheng also handed over the gifts he brought to his uncle, and asked what was going on in the house, and why he didn't see his aunt and cousin.
"Hey, your unfortunate cousin-in-law died suddenly half a month ago, Yan'er was so sad that she didn't leave the house for several days, and your aunt was also worried about this matter and was sick." Speaking of this, Liu Yusheng's uncle shook his head again and again.
"Uncle, people can't be resurrected after death, you have to mourn and change." Liu Yusheng's mouth said some painless words, comforting his uncle.
"But, Yusheng, are you here this time?" His uncle also guessed that Liu Yusheng's sudden appearance this time should not be just such a simple visit.
"Uncle, I'm here to receive a new demon slayer order, and I hope that my uncle will give me the magic weapon that my father stored with you back then." Liu Yusheng said his intentions.
When his uncle heard this, he nodded happily: "Okay, that thing is the family heirloom of your master's family, and even if we relatives take it, it will be useless." ”
His uncle, who was a man of manners, agreed to return it at once, and arranged rooms for us to stay in for the night.
"Yusheng, let these junior brothers and sisters of yours go to the house and put down their things, and come out for dinner in a while." The man said enthusiastically.
Liu Yusheng nodded, stood up, called us along, and was led by the servants to the west wing.
There is one room per person, and my room is only separated by a wall from the bedroom of the young lady of this family, Liu Hanyan, Liu Yusheng's cousin.
