When the sunlight in Mushi peeked out a glimmer of light, I dragged the package and rushed out of the Death Pavilion, and while running to the next block to take a taxi, I called Zhao Shouquan to report that Chen Jihe was taken away by the third floor of the Death Pavilion in the early morning.

Zhao Shouquan was still sleeping, there was a confused scolding on the phone, when I finished speaking, the phone was silent, I sat in the car and walked to the villa area, while anxiously waiting for Zhao Shouquan's reply.

After a while, his faint voice came from the phone, "Come back first, be careful on the road." ”

I hung up the phone and urged the driver to speed up, the third floor of the Death Pavilion was dispatched, it is estimated that Zhao Shouquan is also quite difficult to do this time, even if the Yin Yang Hall can secretly compete with the Elders, but the management of the third and fourth floors He can't afford to provoke him no matter what.

When I arrived at the villa, I ran into the house in a panic, only to see Zhao Shouquan sitting calmly in the living room eating breakfast, with two sandwiches and a bottle of jam on the table.

"Sanhuo is back, come, eat something."

How could I still have the heart to eat, sat opposite him, and said anxiously: "Uncle Zhao, Jihe was taken away, and he still eats?" ”

Zhao Shouquan glanced at me, opened his mouth and swallowed a sandwich, chewed it slowly, swallowed it and said, "Forgot what I said yesterday?" What does a man need? ”

I was slightly stunned when I heard his words, then I took a deep breath and calmed down, but I still complained to myself, "It's all my fault, if it's not my impulse, Chen Jihe won't be arrested, it's really not okay, I went to explain to the people on the third floor, they want to arrest me." ”

"Nonsense." Zhao Shouquan pushed the remaining slice of sandwich in front of me and said, "Eat it, and then follow me." ”

As soon as I heard that Zhao Shouquan was going to make a move, I grabbed the sandwich and stuffed it into my mouth without saying a word, and said indistinctly: "Let's go, shall we go to the Death Pavilion?" ”

"What are you doing there, they're not in the Afterlife Pavilion."

I forced the food in my mouth, took a few sips of the milk next to me, and gasped, "Not in the Afterlife Pavilion?" So where are they? ”

"Just come with me."

I stepped on the package and was about to follow Zhao Shouquan out, but Zhao Shouquan stared at me and stopped.

I touched my face, "Why don't you leave?" ”

"Just leave your package at home and bring a peachwood sword, I have a sword bag in my car, and I will be walking around with a bag on my back in the future, in case the people from the Afterlife Pavilion check out your Rakshasa Formation Diagram, do you think you can still live?"

I nodded yes, put the Rakshasa formation back into the room, and followed Zhao Shouquan into the Land Rover, he handed me a black sword bag, very similar to the one on Chen Jihe's usual back, with a hovering dragon painted on it. I inserted the black fire sword into the sword bag, straddled it diagonally over my shoulder, and said to Zhao Shouquan, "Uncle Zhao, can the two of us do it?" Have you beaten them? ”

Zhao Shouquan drove the Land Rover and said, "If I want to beat you, Lao Tzu hasn't lived enough." ”

"Don't fight?" I was surprised, "Are you going to reason with the Council of Elders?" Aren't you the opposite, can they listen? ”

Zhao Shouquan sighed, "Sanhuo, when will you grow up?" This world is not everything on the surface, balance you know? Everyone has to follow the rules of the game, and if they were like you, the world would have been destroyed. ”

I knew that Zhao Shouquan looked down on me again, so I didn't speak again, the Land Rover drove to a high-end hall in the center of Mushi, called "World Banquet", as soon as the car stopped, two security guards walked closer, looked at the license plate, respectfully went to the driver's window and shouted: "Zhao Ye." ”

Zhao Shouquan turned around and waved to me, threw the car keys to the security guard, and said, "What floor?" ”

"Thirteenth floor."

Zhao Shouquan and I got out of the car, he smiled and patted the security guard on the shoulder, and said, "Thirteen, Elder Long really knows how to pick numbers." ”

The security guard smiled awkwardly and drove away with the car keys.

I trotted all the way behind Zhao Shouquan and entered the world banquet, two rows of beauties wearing high-forked cheongsams bowed slightly, smiled and shouted: "Zhao Ye is good." ”

Zhao Shouquan smiled stiffly, took me into the elevator, and said, "Sanhuo, do you know what thirteen means?" ”

"What do you mean?"

"In Western countries, 13 is an unlucky number. There are many floors and house numbers that skip 13 directly, 12 is directly followed by 14, or 12A is used instead of 13.

Legend has it that Jesus had a dinner with his disciples before his death. The 13th person to attend the dinner was Judas, a disciple of Jesus. It was this same Judas who betrayed Jesus to the Jewish authorities for 30 silver dollars, causing Jesus to be tortured. The Last Supper was attended by 13 people, and the date of the supper coincided with the 13th, and "13" brought suffering and misfortune to Jesus. Since then, "13" has been considered a symbol of misfortune. "13" is synonymous with betrayal and betrayal. ”

I nodded suddenly, the Elders were hinting at Zhao Shouquan: "We know that it was your people who betrayed the Afterlife Pavilion. ”

Zhao Shouquan continued: "The thirteenth floor of the World Banquet has only been opened three times since it was built, and the first time was during a battle during the formation period, when all the personnel of the Afterlife Pavilion held a meeting on the thirteenth floor, and made a decision in the face of life and death.

The second time was when the Afterlife Pavilion leveled all the ghosts and Buddhas in Mu City, and he was sent to the Dead without entering the Afterlife Pavilion, and that time he killed nearly 100 people on the thirteenth floor.

The third time was when Mo Yu killed the two elders of the Council of Elders and sentenced and dealt with him on the thirteenth floor.

I've only experienced the last two times, but the fact that the thirteenth floor is a forbidden place is known to the entire Afterlife Pavilion, the elders will dare to open the thirteenth floor, and this time they want to fight with me! ”

I frowned, I know the seriousness of Zhao Shouquan's words, but I don't understand, the Afterlife Pavilion, which has only been opened three times, was opened again because of the disappearance of Huolianshan, which is too trivial.

But seeing Zhao Shouquan's expression of leisurely walking, my hanging heart gradually fell, I don't know when I developed a habit, as long as Zhao Shouquan is by my side, I will feel at ease.

"Drip-"

When the elevator reached the thirteenth floor, I walked out of the elevator behind Zhao Shouquan, and it was dark and I couldn't see anything clearly. The elevator doors behind us gradually closed, and the last glimmer of light disappeared, and we were wrapped tightly in the darkness, a little breathless.

"Hey, hey, hey, hey......"

There was a strange laugh in the dark, and I subconsciously grabbed Zhao Shouquan's hand, he held my hand tightly, and whispered, "An." ”

"Smack, smack, smack."

A little fire lit up, and then dozens of crimson fires lit one after another in the darkness, and the light of the fire brought light, and the thirteenth floor was dim and unknown.

My eyelids rolled and I rolled my eyes, and the entire thirteenth floor was pierced, presenting a huge space of nearly 1,000 square meters, with three steps and rows of wooden chairs in the distance, facing us, and there were people sitting on each wooden chair, and at the top were four wooden chairs, three men and one woman, who were the four people I interviewed when I entered the Afterlife Pavilion.

"Dare to scan the elders here! Don't want to live! A rough voice came, and suddenly my witch eye failed, and my vision fell into darkness again.

Zhao Shouquan gently pinched me, and led me to the front along the firelight, under the lights on both sides, more than twenty elders looked down on us from above, their eyes were sharp, even if they couldn't see their eyes, goosebumps all over their bodies.

Zhao Shouquan took off the wooden box on his body and put it on the ground, swaggering forward, revealing a surprised gaze: "Huh? How come there is a chair that no one sits on? ”

A voice came from the side, "Don't play stupid, you don't know that Elder Fire is missing?" ”

"What? Who? ”

The voice suppressed its anger, "Fire Mountain, Fire Elder!" ”

"Really? That's unfortunate. Zhao Shouquan said with a smile, pulled the wooden chair belonging to Huolian Mountain out of the crowd, returned to me and put it down heavily, and he sat on it and crossed Erlang's legs.

"Three fires, light a cigarette for my uncle."

I was stunned for a moment and whispered, "I don't have any smoke." ”

Zhao Shouquan turned sideways and said, "I have it in my pocket." ”

I nodded, put my hand in his pocket and took out a box of cigarettes, took out one and stuffed it into his mouth, and then lit it with a lighter. Bah! Bah! Damn, Sanhuo, you took the cigarette upside down. ”

I looked at him in embarrassment, and the two of us were like circus animals, playing awkward scenes in full view.

"Give it to me!"

Zhao Shouquan snatched the cigarette, lit one himself, and swallowed it slowly, I was already embarrassed, but he didn't react, as if nothing had happened just now.

"Alright, enough trouble." The sound on the steps was like a bell, and I remember this voice, it was the old man who interviewed me, "Deputy Hall Master Zhao, do you know what this place is?" ”

"World banquet, thirteenth floor, what's wrong?" Zhao Shouquan grinned.

I really admire him, he is not afraid at this moment of life and death, if you are an ordinary person, you are afraid that you will be scared to pee, a Huolian Mountain is so powerful, it is estimated that none of the more than twenty elders on this will be worse than him, and it is not a matter of an eye that they want to kill us together?

My legs trembled slightly, and I hid behind Zhao Shouquan's chair and gently hammered my disobedient leg.

"Since you know, you should know the rules, if you want to ask for someone, don't be arrogant."

"Someone?" Zhao Shouquan held his cigarette, "Come, Sanhuo will beat my legs for me, don't just beat your own." ”

I secretly scolded you in my heart for really treating this place as your home, but at this time, you must not lose your momentum, squatting beside him, beating his legs with his fists crackling, but he looks like he is enjoying it.

Zhao Shouquan said: "I don't want anyone." ”

His words immediately caused a commotion in the Council of Elders, and I looked up in surprise, but he closed his eyes and enjoyed it.

"Zhao Shouquan, why don't you want people to come to the thirteenth floor?" Some elders couldn't bear it anymore and got up and shouted.

"I'm here for a walk." Zhao Shouquan looked like a dead pig who was not afraid of boiling water, "What's the matter, you bite me?" ”

The commotion of the Council of Elders is even greater, my heart is tense for a while, Zhao Shouquan is too crazy, if he goes on like this, can we still walk out of the thirteenth floor of the World Banquet alive?
