Chapter 123: The Beast

"Huh?" Yuan Xiucheng's brows furrowed, not knowing whether he hadn't heard Xu Han's words clearly, or if he wasn't sure that Xu Han would make such a request.

Of course, Xu Han didn't care what he was thinking, he repeated his words again: "I want to see Ah Sheng." ”

"It's not in order. The eternal smile on Yuan Xiucheng's face finally melted at that moment, and he stared at Xu Han and said.

"Senluo Hall is not monolithic. Yuan Yama wants the Demon Monarch's essence blood, and the rest of them want it too, and their progress is not necessarily much slower than that of Yuan Yama. Since it's a partnership, I think we'll have to redefine our position. But Xu Han laughed at that time.

His remarks were not made up on a whim.

In the Sword Execution Pavilion Competition, he noticed early on that there were dark horses on the Silver Execution List, they had almost never walked around in this Great Xia River and Lake before, but they suddenly appeared, and won the top position of the Silver Execution List with the momentum of destroying the withering and decaying, and then some series of trials and competitions, the strength displayed was even more breathtaking.

And what surprised Xu Han even more was that he asked the demonic spirit from these people, which was the taste of "Shura Jue". There was a group of masters who had infiltrated the Sword Pavilion, but Yuan Xiucheng still attached great importance to him, and with the few words Xu Han had heard from Ghost Bodhi, he soon made such an inference.

The struggle for power within the Senluo Hall allowed Yuan Xiucheng to find Xu Han.

Of course, there are also a lot of Xu Han's own guesses in this kind of inference, but looking at Yuan Xiucheng at this moment, Xu Han knows that he guessed correctly.

Yuan Xiucheng's face became gloomy, he stared at Xu Han, gritted his teeth and said, "Sitting on the ground and raising prices is not what businessmen should do. ”

"Xu is not a businessman, I want to see him to determine if he is safe, if Yuan Yan Luo does not agree to this matter, then this matter of taking the blood of the demon monarch, then I am afraid you will have to find someone else." Xu Han responded lightly.

The identities and positions between the two seem to have reversed at this time.

"Aren't you afraid that I will kill him?" Yuan Xiucheng asked with a gloomy face and gritted his teeth.

"Of course I'm afraid, but I'm more afraid than I am. Xu Han's face also became gloomy.

The eyes of the two met in mid-air, colliding with each other like sword intent, and neither of them would back down for half a point.

"Okay!" But in the end, Yuan Xiucheng was the first to retract his gaze, he saw the determination to fight for his life in Xu Han's eyes, he was not afraid of Xu Han, he just felt that some things were more important than Xu Han's life.

So he chose to compromise.

"I'll take you to him. He said this and turned around.

......

Yuan Xiucheng led Xu Han out of the dilapidated hut.

The night was late and the rain had stopped. But the water from the tiled roofs of the dilapidated alleys still trickled down the eaves little by little.

The rain pounded on the stone pavement of the alley, making a crisp dripping sound.

Outside the alley is the bustling Henghuang City, where there are well-dressed white jade sons and picturesque beauties with red makeup.

There was nothing in the alleys, only the garbage everywhere, the low tiled houses, and the ghostly wandering of the shadows of numb pedestrians.

The inside and outside of the alley are just a wall apart, but they are like moats, like two worlds.

"The world is like this, the more shiny the appearance, the more unbearable the things are hidden. Yuan Xiucheng, who was walking in front, sighed.

But Xu Han behind him looked calm and did not answer.

"It's like the so-called Tiance Mansion, and the world thinks it represents fairness and justice. But in order to achieve the justice he believes in, what he has done is no less than what the Long Night Division has done. ”

Speaking of this, the man turned his head, looked at Xu Han behind him, and asked with a smile: "I think Brother Xu has a deep understanding of this." ”

"Aren't you the spy sent into the Senluo Hall by the Tiance Mansion, doesn't it matter if you slander your own owner like this?" Xu Han frowned, he didn't like Yuan Xiucheng's meaningful tone.

"It used to be, but it's not anymore. Yuan Xiucheng shook his head and said.

"So you have been rebelled against by the Senluo Palace, and what good have they given you to make you so loyal to them. Xu Han asked.

Hearing this, Yuan Xiucheng suddenly stopped, he turned his head to look at Xu Han again, and said: "Yuan will never be loyal to anyone, Yuan is only loyal to himself. In this regard, I am very similar to Brother Xu. ”

Xu Han was noncommittal about Yuan Xiucheng's analogy, his mind was on Liu Sheng, but he was not interested in doing this nonsense with Yuan Xiucheng again.

Yuan Xiucheng also seemed to see this, and he simply stopped speaking, and only led Xu Han towards the depths of the alley.

......

Soon the two of them came to the innermost side of the alley, at that time a huge slum, a wooden hut made of wooden planks, spread some hay underneath, it was considered a shelter, where most of the people lived were some thin old people and children, seeing Xu Han and the two coming, probably from each other's gorgeous clothes to recognize them as rich people, a group of people surrounded at that time.

Yuan Xiucheng gave generously at that time, took out a money bag from his arms, and distributed the copper coins of the sword money bag to these beggars who poured in.

It's just that although there is a lot of money in the money bag, the beggar is several times more than that money.

It is inevitable that some people get money, and some people are empty-handed. The timid and frail can only look pitifully from the side, and the bold and strong eyes are wide with anger, obviously moving their minds.

The money in Yuan Xiucheng's money bag soon bottomed out.

He shook the money bag in his hand towards the beggars, indicating that there was no silver in it, and then shrugged his shoulders helplessly, leading Xu Han to continue walking forward.

Soon there was a burst of angry scolding and begging for mercy behind him.

Xu Han didn't look back, but he could probably guess the scene there.

"Instead of poverty, we suffer from inequality. Yuan Xiucheng's voice sounded again.

Xu Han frowned and did not respond to the man.

Yuan Xiucheng still didn't care, he continued to move forward, and stopped in front of a shantyhouse, in which stood a boy, twelve or thirteen years old, with a thin body and dark skin, as if he had been fished out of the mud.

He didn't snatch the money like other beggars, but stood up when he saw Yuan Xiucheng, and when Yuan Xiucheng came to him, he bowed his hand respectfully to the man, looking clumsy, but his attitude was unexpectedly solemn.

Yuan Xiucheng smiled at him and nodded, and the child hurriedly stepped out of the way and pulled open a tattered curtain behind him.

At that time, a stone staircase leading to the ground appeared in Xu Han's eyes at that time.

"Please. Yuan Xiucheng smiled at that time, stretched out his hand towards Xu Han and said.

Xu Han glanced at the man, took a deep breath, and stepped in at that time.

......

If the difference between the rich and the poor in this dilapidated alley and the bustling Henghuang City is the difference between the rich and the poor, then the situation in the underground should be called a world of difference.

After passing through a deep passage that was not too long, the scene in front of me suddenly opened up.

A huge golden room appeared in front of Xu Han's eyes, during which the warblers sang and danced, and the cups and lights were staggered.

It was filled with men and women in brocade robes, most of whom were flushed and their eyes were shining, while the women were almost clinging to the men, but they did not shy away from it, but enjoyed themselves in their arms or in their arms.

On both sides of the huge room, there are countless small doors, among which are lit with ambiguous red candles, and from time to time there are bursts of reverie and beautiful sounds.

"When did Senluo Dian change his career and start the bustard's business?" After the initial surprise, Xu Han asked with a sneer.

"In business, we will naturally give what the guests need. ”

"Don't look at these people who are drunk and like beasts at the moment, but when they come out of this door, they are either the clansmen of the Li family's royal family, or the sons of dignitaries and dignitaries, and there are many famous people in the rivers and lakes, and even those pedantic and sour Confucians who are full of benevolence, righteousness and morality. ”

"This Great Xia has been peaceful for too long, and the gold and jade are all placed at the border, but I don't know that this ruin has already gnawed away the foundation of this towering thing. ”

Yuan Xiucheng sighed like this, looking as if he was really sad for such a thing.

After saying this, Yuan Xiucheng shook his head, took another step, he led Xu Han through the bright hall, and came to a dark door, he lit the candle in the house, but the dazzling candlelight could not dispel the darkness in the room, but added a touch of depth.

In the flickering candle flame, Yuan Xiucheng walked to the wall on the inside of the door, he groped slightly, and when he pressed it somewhere, a mechanism was touched, and the stone wall was actually separated from the middle with a dull sound.

Roar!

Before Xu Han could come back to his senses, a roar of boundless anger came from the retreating wall.

A sound like a beast on all fours, with those scarlet eyes, suddenly rushed out of the wall, and went straight towards Xu Han.

Xu Han was startled, and was about to gather the sword intent around him to resist, but the figure suddenly stopped at a distance of less than a foot from Xu Han.

Xu Han found that the beast's neck was actually bound by a thick chain, and the beast didn't seem to be willing to stop there, he struggled forward again, but the chain was extremely strong, and he couldn't break free no matter what.

can only roar towards Xu Han constantly, in order to vent the anger in his heart.

And it was at this moment that Xu Han followed the dim candle flame in the house, and finally saw the appearance of the beast clearly.

Although his eyes were blood-red, although his limbs were on the ground, with sharp claws, and although his face was covered with strange scale armor, Xu Han still recognized the other party after being slightly stunned.

His face changed at that moment, and his body trembled.

He stared at the beast, his eyes flashing, and he called, "Ah Sheng!"
