In the Taiming Pavilion of the capital, the bustling crowd poured in, including people with knives, official ladies with rings, and royal relatives and nobles with red gold tokens on their waists. The reason why this tavern has a wide range of Hakka officials of different classes is due to its exquisite and delicious Hakka dishes and the endless anecdotes told by the storyteller.

"Bang" stroked the ruler, all the guests sat down, and the person in the gray robe stood straight in the center of the crowd with one hand behind his back, cleared his throat and said:

"Today we are going to tell the story of a rural farmer."

The crowd suddenly fell silent and craned their necks to listen.

"The old Hu family at the entrance of the village in the south has a good-looking daughter-in-law who has given birth to three babies, but none of them are men. It is said that on this night, a crisp and loud cry pierced the night, and his daughter-in-law gave birth to a male doll. The whole old Hu family was extremely happy, and named him Sixi, but the good times didn't last long......" He paused, and after receiving everyone's eager eyes, he hooked his lips and continued:

One day, Lao Hu carried Sixi in a bamboo basket and went up the mountain to chop wood. When I walked into the depths of the jungle, a large yellow and white insect suddenly jumped out! He roared with his bloody mouth wide open, and he fainted when he was frightened. This big worm is fat and strong, maybe he is not hungry, and he doesn't do anything to Lao Hu. But when he was found by his family, the little four in the basket was gone. He was anxious to look around, but only found a few patches of gray cloth in the grass. ”

When the people heard this, they sighed for a while, and then they heard that the storyteller continued:

"The family was sad for a long time, until one day seven years later. Lao Hu went up the mountain to look for herbs for his daughter-in-law who was infected with tuberculosis, and found a big injured insect next to the cave. ”

Several tea drinkers put down the tea cups in their hands and straightened their backs, suddenly feeling a little nervous.

The big insect wailed, trying to stretch out its paws to scratch the old beard, but before it could take a few steps forward, it fell to the ground with a 'bang'. Lao Hu stepped forward and suddenly found that there was a seven or eight-year-old boy lying in Lao Hu's arms. ”

"It's Little Four!" Someone exclaimed.

The storyteller nodded:

It turned out that the big insect raised Sixi as his own child, and Lao Hu cried with joy, but found that Xiao Si couldn't speak human language, and even walked on all fours normally, just like a little tiger cub. Their family dragged Xiao Si home, and on the second day, Lao Hu was woken up by the movement in the chicken shed next door. He picked up the guy and searched all the way, and saw his little four squatting in the chicken shed, holding a white-feathered chicken still fluttering with wings in his mouth, and he was stunned in place. Xiao Si was frightened and ran away with the chicken in his mouth. Since then, the old Hu family has never seen Sixi again. ”

Ye Shi unconsciously tapped his fingers on the table and muttered:

"If you deal with demons for a long time, will you really degenerate into demons......

Suddenly being put on her shoulder, she turned her head suddenly, stretched out her hand and slashed towards the side and back, Mu Ningjiu dissolved her move, hooked her lips and said:

"Finally found you. What, isn't the case going well? ”

Ye Shi sighed and said:

"Why is it not going well? There was simply no progress. He was too cunning to show even a flaw. ”

Mu Ningjiu and Shang Jin glanced at each other, knowing that Ye Shi was not only annoyed by the case, but also because of Zuo Sheng, so they made a look, Shang Jin pretended to walk to the railing and looked downstairs, and she immediately sat opposite Ye Shi:

"Xiao Shi, the big war is coming, don't be emotional. If Zuo Sheng really defects, the other party is most likely to use the relationship between you to defeat you. ”

"I know that when we meet again, I won't show mercy." She said lightly, her eyes flashing with determination.

Suddenly, the sound of "boom" sounded, the crowd suddenly fell silent, and then I don't know who screamed, and all the guests scattered in an uproar, as if they were going to turn the entire Taiming Pavilion upside down.

I saw that the storyteller who was still telling the story before was lying on the table that had been broken in two with his eyes wide open, and the pool of crimson blood under him was like a flower blooming on the other side of hell, revealing a chilling shade in the absolute beauty, seeping into the hearts of everyone present.

The three of them rushed down the stairs, Shang Jin pulled up the shivering shopkeeper who was hiding next to the counter, and asked urgently:

"How did he die? What happened? The shopkeeper turned his head in a daze, subconsciously shrunk into a ball of fear, and said with a look in his mouth:

"Hell it, hell it! Who must have angered the Ghost King, he came to the world to seek revenge on us......" Mu Ningjiu wanted to ask again, but the shopkeeper suddenly roared, his eyes were blank, and a black gas rose from his body, and he crashed towards the pillar beside him.

Ye Shi frowned, rushed over and slashed at the back of his neck, while holding the softly fallen shopkeeper, he frowned and cursed:

"Despicable and shameless...... They actually use innocent people as shields! As soon as the words fell, Mu Ning Jiuyi grabbed Ye Shi, glanced at Shang Jin and said:

"Tell the clans!" She stroked the sand hanging around her neck with one hand, and a melodious melody sounded, and the cyan spiritual power wrapped the three of them in it, raising a hurricane. Shang Jin looked at the fleeing people around him from the gap in the wind, they seemed to have received some instructions, and suddenly they all stopped, as if they smelled something, and rushed towards the three of them like crazy. On the surface, it seems to be an unregulated step, but in fact it is very regulated and silent.

Now shrouded by the hurricane of spiritual power, they are unable to dissipate their attacks through internal force due to distance limitations. However, the people who fell victim to the black spell were able to use their weapons and easily reach the three of them. Shang Jin looked at Mu Ningjiu who was reciting a mantra with his eyes closed, his fists in his sleeves were clenched tightly, his heart hung up, and he stared vigilantly at the movements around him.

A white light suddenly flashed behind Mu Ningjiu, and Shang Jin quickly grabbed her clothes and pulled them behind her, exposing her back to the outside.

There was a pinprick pain in his back, and he snorted and shook his body.

Everything happened in an instant, only to hear the sound of "bang", and the next moment the three of them had already entered the inky blue void. Mu Ningjiu opened his eyes suddenly, stretched out his hand to support Shang Jin, and asked urgently:

"Ah Jin, how are you?"

Shang Jin only felt that the stinging sensation seemed to be about to penetrate into the flesh and blood, approaching his heart inch by inch, bringing a piercing pain along the way, he tried his best to hold back the pain, his nails were embedded in the flesh, leaving deep marks in the palms of his hands, but they still could not be relieved. Mu Ningjiu used his spiritual power to help him investigate, but he didn't find anything unusual.

"Brother-in-law, what's wrong? I just kept staring around, and I didn't see anything like that......" Ye Shi muttered suspiciously.

The sharp pain lasted only a few moments before it dissipated without a trace. Shang Jin patted Mu Ningjiu's hand comfortingly and said:

"I'm fine, don't worry." Mu Ningjiu looked at him carefully from top to bottom, and still asked uneasily:

"Are you alright? I see that you seem to be in a lot of pain just now, or ......" Shang Jin shook his head, and suddenly evoked a wicked smile, as if he said casually:

"Maybe I don't eat regularly these days, and I have a stomach problem." After finishing speaking, he glanced at Mu Ningjiu teasingly. The latter, as if thinking of something, turned red, turned his head and snorted, and said no more.

Ye Shi's hot gaze became a little intriguing, and he said like a little adult:

"Jiujiu, it's not me talking about you. Since your brother-in-law is already yours, it is also appropriate to let him eat a full meal......" Mu Ningjiu coughed embarrassedly, and suddenly raised her face, giving her a burst of shock:

"What do you know about children's families! It's your turn to teach my sister a lesson? No big, no small......"

"I'm not worried about my brother-in-law." Ye Shi muttered. Mu Ningjiu raised her eyebrows, and secretly wondered in her heart: I don't know who disliked Shang Jin when he first saw him...... Since the wedding on that day, Ah Jin danced a sword to everyone, as a reward for telling Mu Ningjiu information in Shen Wan in the psychedelic forest before, Xiao Shi's attitude towards Shang Jin has rotated one hundred and eighty degrees - it is really enough double standard.

Shang Jin thought to herself: The charm of the master is great, as long as he stops there, no matter how difficult it is to speak, he has to throw himself into the ground.

Just when the three of them had their own ideas, the surrounding scenery quickly flipped, and within a cup of tea, they arrived at the Zuihualou. When Beigong Han and Shen Wan saw them, they stood up from their chairs:

"You're here! In just a moment of effort, the entire Shenzhou Continent was in chaos! Han and I have just returned from the Four Clans, and the barrier between here and there has been broken, and the coalition forces are on their way. Mu Ningjiu nodded and replied:

"The biggest thing now is how to control the people of Zhongshu, and ......" she paused and continued:

"We don't know where they're going to start attacking, so each country has to have a certain number of soldiers from the four clans. Now, the nations have to open the gates and let in the armies of the four tribes. Beigong Han snapped his fingers and said:

"I have already informed Wei Chi before, and he said that he will find a way. Now only Pi, Yu and Gan are left. ”

"The sacrificial ritual of the black spell, I don't know when it started. Before that, we have to go to the Great Wilderness to open the Ancient Circle and stop the sacrifices. Shang Jin said.

"But now, we still have a piece of remnants that we haven't found, how can we ......" Shen Wan frowned.

Mu Ningjiu touched the remnant of his waist and said:

"I don't know if you feel it, although we don't feel the traces of the remnants on weekdays, but every time we fight them, it always has a faint heat? Before, I only thought it was the reaction after it touched the black spell, but now I think about it, could it be this third piece of remnant, in their hands? ”

"You want to ...... Take the opportunity to lure them out? Shen Wan said slowly.

Mu Ningjiu shook his head and said:

"Their purpose is to rule the four clans and the Shenzhou Continent, not us. Any stumbling block that hinders their plans is vulnerable after summoning the demon. Therefore, it is imperative to find a place to sacrifice and recapture the remnants. ”
