"It's a good thing for monks, they can withstand the heat, but not for ordinary people." Xu Yingsong smiled lightly, and landed in front of a large mansion with us.

I looked at the mansion thoughtfully. This mansion is located in the center of the city, and it is obviously the palace of Xu Yingsong's state lord.

However, if it is a temple, it is too shabby.

Ordinary red bricks and green tiles, no pavilions and pavilions, we walked away, and the layout inside looked like the county government in ancient times, or those dilapidated places. For a state lord who controls the power of hundreds of millions of people in a state, the place where he lives is indeed not good.

"The state lord."

And our group walked in, and suddenly more than a dozen monks stepped forward, greeted Xu Yingsong, and surrounded them. All of them have a brilliant aura, and they all have at least great sage cultivation, and several of them are even half-emperors.

"These people are all city lords, but it's strange, why did they all come here, could it be that something big happened?" Conlun whispered to me, muttering.

I looked at these people, and at this time these people looked solemn, as if they had something important to report.

"What are you doing here instead of staying in your own city? Could it be Wei Laohe? Xu Yingsong was stunned for a moment, and then his face changed slightly.

"What the state lord said is that Wei Lao told us that he is closing the life and death pass in the back, and if he fails, I am afraid that he will ......," a middle-aged man in a brocade robe said.

Xu Yingsong's face suddenly turned ugly after hearing this, he shook off everyone and strode towards the back.

My heart moved, there are not many things that can make the lord of a state change color, Xu Yingsong just faced Lu Haoyang and the others are light, it seems that this Wei Lao has a good status in his heart, otherwise he would not have lost his square inch and left us here.

These city lords stood in place, watching Xu Yingsong rush away, and there was a lot of discussion.

"Hey, the relationship between the state lord and Wei Lao is really good, it is said that Wei Lao brought up the state lord back then, he has lived for more than a thousand years, and when the time comes, everyone will die, and no one can disobey the mandate of heaven."

"However, if you can succeed in enlightenment, or break through the realm, there is still a chance to prolong your life."

"It depends on the ability and destiny of the state lord, but I think this time there will be more luck and less luck."

"Kang Yilong, who are these people?"

A dozen city lords talked for a while, and then they noticed me and Qiu Ying and the others.

"This girl is Qiu Ying that the state lord has been looking for, Qiu Wushuang's daughter, this is Zhou Gongzi."

Kang Yilong opened his mouth and introduced the identities of several of us.

However, the attention of these city lords was on Wei Lao, and when he heard Qiu Ying's identity, his eyes flashed a few times and he nodded, as for us, we were directly ignored and regarded as Qiu Ying's friends.

After all, the battle between me and Bai Susu at that time, more focus was on Bai Susu.

And what just happened, these people don't know yet, they just think of me as a passerby.

"Let's go in first. Your rooms are ready. Kang Yilong smiled and led us forward.

But after not taking a few steps, Xu Yingsong flew back again.

"State Lord, how is Old Wei?"

These city lords all looked at Xu Yingsong, he rescued him so quickly, did it have a result?

"Elder Wei is in retreat, I can't disturb him, but I have to protect the Dharma on the side. Qiu Ying, Zhou Gongzi, I'm really embarrassed, I originally prepared a reception banquet, but unfortunately Wei Lao has something to do, so I can't go with you today, City Lord Kang, you and the city lords, go and entertain them for me. ”

Xu Yingsong said to us apologetically, and hurriedly flew over.

Apparently he came here just to give us an announcement, and he didn't want us to have any other ideas.

"Yes, Lord Governor." These city lords arched their hands, and they only looked at us with a smile.

I hesitated, and to be honest I didn't like these scenes.

"Gongzi Zhou, the state lord has prepared everything when he comes back, if you don't go, the state lord will know that he will blame me for losing his courtesy, don't embarrass me." Kang Yilong saw through my mind and said with a smile.

"Then it's better to be respectful than to obey." I also laughed a little, and when I first arrived here, if I didn't show good arrogance, I agreed. Kang Yilong settled me and Qiu Ying, Lie Tian and the others, we changed into neat clothes, Kang Lun came to the door to invite, and we walked through the corridor and came to a small temple.

When they saw us coming, the city lords all stood up with a smile. And I found that there were a few more of them than before, and there were a few of them, apparently new arrivals.

When they saw us, they smiled and invited us to the chief table, where they toasted us.

However, after three rounds of drinking, these city lords chatted in groups of three or five, and the topic also shifted to Wei Lao, it seems that it was just polite and polite to us just now.

I didn't care about that, I just laughed. I prefer to be quiet, I don't like to be disturbed by strangers, this kind of atmosphere is the best, I drink by myself, and occasionally talk to Qiu Yinglietian and others, but it is also quite comfortable.

"Gongzi Zhou, I, Kang Yilong, toast you."

Kang Yilong's face was full of red light, he was the first city lord of Shewu Continent, naturally more popular than us, he had already drunk a lot, and he deliberately did not use his breath to disperse the wine.

I smiled and raised my glass, Kang Yilong stood up for me before, and I also thanked him.

However, Kang Yilong and I did not leave after holding the glass, but sat next to me.

"Brother Zhou, in fact, don't get me wrong, these guys are not ignoring you, but they are too famous. Now I heard that Wei Lao is no good, and they all run over like flies, all of them want to take advantage. Kang Yilong spoke in a low voice, his eyes flashing with disdain.

"Oh? Is it good for them that Old Wei is dead? "I'm a little curious.

"Of course, Wei Lao is the city lord of this city, that is, the core city of She Wuzhou, if Wei Lao dies, then he needs a successor city lord. Don't underestimate this place, this is our Shewuzhou, the largest city in terms of people and area, on average four or five times larger than other cities, how can they not be tempted? ”

Kang Yilong said, becoming more and more disdainful.

"You see, the fat man who just came here is called Ao Long, and he has been complaining that he doesn't have enough cultivation resources, but he doesn't want to develop his own big city, he just wants to pick up cheap. This thin and tall old man's name is Yin Shijing, and he has a son who is not bad, but he bragged all day long that he had cultivated in order to get it, and Wei Lao died, and this person would definitely recommend his son to inherit Wei Lao's position. ”

Kang Yilong's introduction made me know a lot of She Wuzhou city lords.

"Aren't you tempted?" I was a little surprised, Kang Yilong's emotions were not only not expressive, but very disdainful, could it be that he was not interested in this Xuancheng?

"Of course, I'm going to participate in the state lord competition next month, and I'm going to take a state lord as a leader." Kang Yilong grinned.

"So if you're not going to be the governor, you'll be tempted." I laughed and demolished him, making Kang Yilong's black face blush and laugh.

"Lord Kangcheng, you originally came here." The city lord named Ao Long walked over at this time, holding a wine glass and smiling.

"Fat Ao, your city is so far away from this Xuancheng, you can run fast enough." Kang Yilong's skin didn't smile, and he got up and clinked glasses with Aolong.

"Brother Kang, you are sarcastic about me, in fact, you also know that my broken place is too close to the Red Wilderness, there are not many people, and the resources are even less, and there are always red beasts rushing in, which is not very peaceful. This time, I heard about Wei Lao's view of life and death, of course I had to come over and take a look. When the time comes, I have to help Brother Kang say a few kind words for me, and the little brother will not forget your kindness at that time. ”

Aolong's fat face squeezed into a smile, a flattering expression. Everyone knows that Kang Yilong is not the city lord, so he has no competition with them, and Kang Yilong and Xu Yingsong have a close relationship, as long as Kang Yilong recommends it, it will definitely be nine out of ten.

"Fat Ao, but how did I hear that you have trouble with red beasts there, you are in retreat and cultivation at home, and you have watched the people of a village being slaughtered by red beasts?" Kang Yilong smiled coldly, "You have no sense of responsibility like this, it is impossible for the state lord to give you such an important place as Xuancheng." ”

"Whoever said this is complete slander! Lao Tzu went right away at that time, but those red beasts were ferocious, and they were still a step late, Brother Kang, this is all what Yin Shijing said from that old guy, right? Ao Long's face suddenly changed, he was a little nervous, and he stepped forward to whisper to Kang Yilong.
