One day, Shi Qingyun had a dream, he dreamed of a bamboo forest, and the bamboo was a spiritual bamboo, so that the whole bamboo forest was floating with a rich aura.

At the end of the bamboo grove sat a man dressed in a red and black robe, the red on which was not the brilliant bright red, but the dark red that was prone to blood.

Shi Qingyun slowly approached the man, she could feel him talking, but she couldn't really hear what he was saying, let alone who he was talking to, or what he was talking to. She found herself only able to advance to the edge of the bamboo forest, where there seemed to be an invisible barrier preventing her from getting out of it.

After a while, there was a crying sound, some almost roaring mourning sounded all over the world, Shi Qingyun felt a burst of grief and regret in her heart for no reason at this time, she seemed to know why he was crying, but she couldn't remember anything, she wanted to go up to comfort him, but she couldn't cross the invisible barrier at all.

Therefore, she had no choice but to play music, and the music was low, revealing a strong sense of mourning, so she played the eulogy, and he cried bitterly......

Later, Shi Qingyun knew when she saw Xu Yichen that he was the grief-stricken man in her dream.

She just looked at Xu Yichen like this, and she couldn't understand what kind of thing could make him cry so sadly.

"So, Senior Brother Xu, what are we going to do in the next few days?"

Xu Yichen didn't answer immediately when he heard this, and after pondering for a while, he spoke:

"Play! Play whatever you want!"

As Xu Yichen said, in the next few days, everyone was like a student who had taken a long vacation, and they were all engaged in playing.

Shi Qingyun went to the music shop to see if there was any new score, while Tian Lingling and Lin Wanqing went shopping, almost all the shops in Moling City, and tasted the different food from the academy by the way.

Huang Yuan went to the mountains, found a secluded place, and played the cave flute; Xu Yichen didn't know what he did except go out alone on the first day, and the rest of the time was either cultivating or drinking in the tavern with Fu Yuntao and Ma Teng.

In this way, 7 days have passed, and Moling City is very peaceful, not only is there no dried corpse, but even thieves and thieves are rare.

On this day, after Xu Yichen said goodbye to the city lord, he left Moling City with everyone.

Ma Teng returned to his residence after sending Xu Yichen and his entourage, sitting in a simple wooden house, he felt that this time was a little incredible, first he robbed the convoy of the spirit weapon envoy by mistake, and when he thought that he would definitely die, the spirit weapon envoy actually let himself go, not only that, but also found a way out for himself and his brothers, and even gave him a start-up capital.

Ma Teng sat on a wooden stool, holding chopsticks and eating a few small dishes he cooked, and laughed unconsciously.

The sky outside gradually darkened, and the lanterns were lit one by one, and Ma Teng took out the oil lamp from the house and lit it, when there was a knock on the door outside.

"Excuse me, is Ma Teng here?"

Ma Teng was a little puzzled, and muttered to himself with some doubts:

"Boss Xu is gone, who will look for me at this time?"

Just as he hesitated, there was another knock at the door:

"Is Ma Teng here?"

"It's coming, it's coming, wait a minute!"

Anyway, I can't figure out who the person is here, it's better to open the door directly, he is not afraid of villains, with his kind of physique and shape, ordinary people are not his opponents.

Ma Teng opened the door and found that it was none other than the lord of Moling City, who was on crutches in one hand, followed by two officials, one of whom was still supporting him.

"The grass people don't know that the city lord is coming, and they miss the welcome, and they hope that the city lord will forgive their sins!"

Ma Teng made a gesture to the city lord very politely.

The man in the official uniform smiled and waved his hand, and said:

"Brother Ma doesn't have to be so polite!"

"I don't know if the city lord is so late, what's the matter with finding grass people?"

The man in the official uniform said with a pleasant face:

"It's not a big deal, it's just that the spirit weapon envoy asked me to take care of Brother Ma more, and I couldn't take a break because of my busy official business, so I came directly to visit today when I had some time. ”

Ma Teng didn't expect Xu Yichen to tell the city lord to take care of himself, and his gratitude to Xu Yichen in his heart was a little deeper.

He hurriedly welcomed the city lord into the house and found a clean stool for him to sit down:

"Lord of the city, I'm really sorry, the house is shabby!"

"Out of the way, out of the way. ”

The man in official uniform slowly sat down on the wooden bench with the support of the officials on the side, and continued:

"Listen to the spirit envoy and say that you are going to open a dart game?"

Ma Teng didn't have tea at home, so he had to make a glass of water, handed it to the city lord, and then replied:

"Yes, the place and manpower are already in place, and I plan to open it in two days!"

"yes, that's really congratulations, I heard that this dart game is for people to transport some items?"

"Yes, it doesn't matter if it's a gift or an item!"

"That's just right, a few days ago, a few rich businessmen wanted to find me to escort them, but it was not good for the officers and soldiers to spread it out privately, so I can introduce it to you!"

Hearing this, Ma Teng's whole person became excited, he was worried that he would not be able to make a name for himself, but he didn't expect the city lord to take the initiative to introduce himself:

"Thank you so much, City Lord!"

Ma Teng made another gesture towards the man in the official uniform.

The city lord smiled and said:

"Brother Ma doesn't have to be polite, besides, this will just solve some of my troubles!"

Ma Teng stood up, picked up the small cup and said:

"City Lord, don't thank you for your kindness, the grass people will replace wine with water, toast you with your cup!"

As he spoke, he picked up the cup on the table and drank all the water from it.

The man in the official uniform smiled and waved his hand again, and said:

"You're polite, you're polite, but Brother Ma, since I've done you such a big favor, I have a small favor here, I want you to help, I don't know if you're willing!"

"Of course I do, as long as I can do it, I will do my best!"

"You can do it, and only you can do it!"

"City Lord, please speak!"

"That's ......"

In an instant, the expression of the man in the official uniform changed abruptly, and the originally pleasant expression instantly turned into a cruel smile:

"Lend me your life!"

As he spoke, the whole person behind the man in the official uniform began to click, twisting up extremely abnormally, and the next moment, a demon beast broke through the skin of the human body and appeared in front of Ma Teng.

The demon beast was only slightly taller than the man in the official uniform, standing on both feet, looking a bit like a werewolf, but not all, at least the head was a bit like a horse with horns, and the two front teeth in its wide mouth were extremely slender, but it was very similar to the double needles that Xu Yichen found.

Ma Teng's eyes widened, and his face was full of stunned expressions, he had heard of demon beasts, but he had never heard of demon beasts that could turn into humans.

He slowly stepped back, and said:

"City Lord, what's going on?"
