Declined Zhu Meng's kindness to go to Ziyang County for a feast, Tang Tang stepped on the teleportation array to Menghuang City alone, Yan Rubin did not follow, but covered up slightly, and replaced Tang Tang to do the gatehouse of the Panruo Temple. is the person who gave her a gift, and the value of the gift is far greater than that of Tang Tang at that time. After hearing this, Tang Tang had to smile bitterly, people were more angry than people.

Before this trip, Tang Tang discussed with Yan Lingbin, and Yan Lingbin was the gatekeeper of the Panruo Temple, on the one hand, through the Panruo Temple, a place where the flow of people gathered, to collect more news about the Three Realms and help Tang Tang make reasonable decisions in Menghuang City. On the other hand, although he can't tear his face directly with Zhu Meng, and he doesn't pose much threat to Zhu Meng, it is a thorn in the bottom of the story. If it is hidden in the dark, Zhu Meng will inevitably investigate this matter and target one or two, which will delay Tang Tang's next move. Therefore, he chose to put this thorn in the light and turned it into an upright conspiracy. chose to place Yan Lingbin in the safer Panruo Temple, rather than accompanying Tang Tang, but also for the convenience of Tang Tang and Yan Lingbin. Even though there was some reluctance, the two agreed to this plan together.

Yan Lingbin served as the gatekeeper of the Panruo Temple for only three days, and the true identity of Yan Lingbin appeared on the desk of the Zhumeng Banquet Car. After Zhu Meng read it, he smiled slightly, and instructed the attendant to give Yan Lingbin a big gift, the last three chapters of "Pure Lotus Score". When Yan Lingbin received it, although she expected that Zhu Meng would definitely say something, she didn't expect that Zhu Meng would directly send her the treasure of the Lotus Queen Sect that she had cultivated, the last three chapters of the sect that only the next generation of masters could practice. Zhu Meng wanted to tell Yan Lingbin that Zhu Meng knew everything about her, and at the same time, he also showed Zhu Meng's strength, and warned Yan Lingbin that if he was honest, he might be fine. Yan Lingbin looked unmoved, accepted the gift, and looked silently at the south, where Menghuang City was located.

Tang Tang walked out of the teleportation array, and immediately felt the desolation of the world different from Yingdu City, the vast ancient trees and poor alleys, and the cold mountains were empty. It was next to what should have been the most lively teleportation array, and there were few traces. Tang Tang activated the city lord token, and walked all the way along the token, with no pedestrians on the road and no good houses on the side. Tang Tang played up the spirit of twelve, and his cultivation was already secretly condensed, and he was not triggered. Although it was expected that Zhu Meng would not surrender his identity to do such a thing, but just in case, Tang Tang Yuanshen also awakened the orchid seal of the Panruo Temple, and was ready to be a gentleman at any time.

Fortunately, there was nothing to do along the way, and the demons gradually increased, but those who did not walk on the road were all sitting upright in their respective shops, and although the styles of those shops were broken, Tang Tang's divine sense swept over but found nothing, and was isolated by various formations. The demons sitting in the store sensed Tang Tang's divine sense, and swept their eyes sideways, and after seeing Tang Tang's city lord token leading the way, they only got up and bowed, no one left the store, and no demon stepped forward to talk to Tang Tang.

After walking around, the number of shops and the degree of decoration have increased significantly. However, the doors of the shops are closed. After following the token nine curves and eighteen bends in a circle, he finally approached the City Lord's Mansion. There was a large group of demons gathered at the gate of the City Lord's Mansion, and after seeing Tang Tang, they all bowed their hands to each other. The first white bear said loudly, "Xiong Xiu, the chief steward of the Menghuang City Commercial Bank, and the fifty-six shop stewards of Menghuang City have met the Tang City Lord. Tang Tang returned the salute, and Xiong Xi continued, "I also ask the Tang City Lord to activate the City Lord's Mansion first, and we have prepared a first-class banquet for the City Lord to receive the wind and wash the dust." After that, the demons separated the two sides and automatically made way for Tang Tang to pass.

Tang Tang looked at the gloomy City Lord's Mansion, and directly activated the City Lord's Token, and in an instant, the City Lord's Mansion came to life, and then the nine curves and eighteen bends that he had just walked through also came to life, and this piece of heaven and earth began to be filled with a different atmosphere. Tang Tang's eyes sharpened, this big array is not small, although it is amazing. But more mysteries are associated with the desolate scenery along the way, why there is such a big array here.

Xiong Xiu seemed to have anticipated Tang Tang's differences, and stepped forward and said, "Please also ask the Tang City Lord to move to Jinwen Palace, Tang City Lord's doubts, we can talk while walking." ”

Tang Tang turned his face and nodded with a smile, accepted the token, and walked in front of Xiong Xiu, followed by a group of shop supervisors behind.

"Tang City Lord, this big array is a snake big array, and the role of the big array is not to strangle internally, but only to defend against strong enemies outside. Presumably, the Tang City Lord has already seen the desolation of Menghuang City along the way. The city lord is not strange, before the city lord came, I had read all the information of the city lord, and presumably the city lord was not clear about why Menghuang City was like this. I didn't sell it either, so I took this opportunity to say a few words to the city lord. Xiong Xiu ignored Tang Tang's reaction and continued to take care of himself, "Ziyang County, one of the thirty-six counties of the human race, but the previous county guards are all demon clans. Menghuang City, the only demon city in Ziyang County, and does not border the demon realm. It is only because the Baishi Desert near Menghuang City is rich in silica sand, an auxiliary material that can improve the success rate of human alchemy and the efficacy of the elixir, especially the effect of the elixir with the demon as the main material is more obvious, so Menghuang City is a demon city. ”

Xiong Xiu suddenly paused, laughed at himself and said, "These are all antiques from thousands of years ago, with the decrease in the number of silica sand, the demon clan has gradually given up control of this place, but this city is a demon city, and the county guard is a demon clan, but this rule has been retained, but the responsibilities of the county guard and the city lord are very different from before." The main responsibility of the county guard is equivalent to the role of the demon clan stationed in the territory of the human race, and is responsible for communicating with the human race on various sensitive events. And the city lord, the Tang city lord can know that Menghuang City has served as thirty-two city lords, only eight city lords left safely, and the rest, you look at the ruins and broken walls outside, the snake array here, you must also be clear. After speaking, Xiong Xi looked at Tang Tang with interest, wanting to see one or two from Tang Tang's face.

Tang Tang felt Xiong Xiu's gaze, smiled and bowed to Xiong Xiu, which was regarded as thanking Xiong Xiu for his explanation. Xiong Xi was a little puzzled, a little unsure, this Tang City Lord, did he really not understand, or did he understand that he felt that he was pretending to be weak, or he really relied on it and was fearless. Xiong Xi didn't say much anymore, Tang Tang understood or not, feared or not, it had nothing to do with him, and he continued to walk forward in parallel with Tang Tang. Instead, Tang Tang took the initiative to ask, "Manager Xiong, do you think this city lord still has the business of supervising the smuggling of silica sand?"

Xiong Xiu naturally replied, "Naturally, there is, this is the duty of the city lord of Menghuang City for thousands of years, the first city lord of Menghuang City once swore at the city gate, the white stone silica sand is endless, and Menghuang City will not fall." It's just that now, Menghuang City has long been without demon generals and demon soldiers, if it weren't for the strong family background of the twentieth city lord, although he made a big mistake at home and was relegated to this place, but in order to keep him safe, he specially invited the master to lay down this snake array. When the Tang City Lord takes office this time, he may have to sleep on the streets. ”

Tang Tang nodded and continued to ask, "Then what about the territory under the jurisdiction of Menghuang City?" Each city has its own territory of thousands of miles, and the territory is different. Within 10,000 miles, there may be spiritual veins and spiritual caves, and there must be families and clans, or sects that live here, pay taxes for the main city, and share the responsibility of defending the land with the main city. In addition, there are slight differences between humans and demons in areas where there are no spirit veins and spirit caves. Beneath the demon realm are primeval forests and wild and ignorant beasts, while the human world is a secular kingdom formed by people who cannot cultivate. The main purpose of the existence of the secular kingdom is to offer incense to the tablets of the gods. In the early days of the war between humans and demons, some Terran gods did not need to practice for tens of millions of years, and only needed to fit the god card to exert the strength of the big demon, so the Terran gained a firm foothold in this ancient world, and gradually expanded to divide the world with the demon race.

Xiong Xiu replied with a smile, "There are only six secular kingdoms under the city of Menghuang City, with a total population of more than 30 million. There are no sects or clans. ”

Tang Tang nodded to indicate that he knew, and then asked Xiong Xiu in detail about the specific duties of the city lord. Xiong Xiu also knows everything. Although the city lord has many responsibilities, but this city has long been a virtual existence, there are no soldiers and no people under his rule, even Xiong Xiu and the rest of the shop supervisors are not considered to be merchants in Menghuang City, not only do not pay taxes to Menghuang City, but even those shop rents are not paid. After all, those fifty-six shops are all the eyes of this snake array, and if no one presides over it, the power of the big array will be greatly reduced. It is that every city lord must have a good relationship with these shop stewards.

At the banquet of Jinwen Palace, Tang Tang and the fifty-six stewards drank directly one by one, and also used Zhu Meng's previous apology to give small gifts to the stewards one by one, and all the stewards refused to refuse, and they all smiled. Xiong Xiu's head was raised throughout the whole process, neither saying much nor looking at it. These fifty-six stewards are a whole, although Tang Tang is the lord of the city, he is an outsider. After several rounds of feasting, it seems that all the demons and Tang Tang are brothers, but it is unknown who is drunk and who is awake.

The banquet was dispersed, and Tang Tang returned to the City Lord's Mansion. Although the city of Menghuang City was broken, under the maintenance of the thirty-two city lords, especially Tang Tang learned from the steward that his first two city lords had retired safely, and the city lord's mansion he took over still retained the aristocratic style and fairy style. There should be a gathering of spirits, a furnace, and a quiet room.

There was a note in front of the main hall case, Tang Tang picked it up and looked at it, it was from the twentieth city lord who arranged this array, and each city lord recorded many affairs during their respective tenures here. A total of twelve records, only four survived, the rest died in office, there were in office to die in the period of people, demons and evil, the Terran monks directly attacked the door, bloodied the city, a total of five times, to the end Menghuang City has been unbreakable, the Terran monks directly raised the knife to break the door, kill the city lord. The other three were all in office, trying to return to the ancient glory of Menghuang City, recruiting troops and people, two died at the hands of the Terran monks who picked quarrels and provoked trouble, and one died at the hands of the shop stewards who united to rebel against the city lord.

Looking at the City Lord Token that was not close to his waist, Tang Tang let out a long sigh. Zhu Meng was appointed as the county guard of Ziyang, and he was appointed as the lord of Menghuang City, which was Zhu Meng's yang scheme. Compared with Zhu Meng, Tang Tang's Yangmou is the light of the fireflies in front of this case, and the light of the bright moon outside the door. Tang Tang was silent in the flickering light of fireflies.
