Chapter 25: The Calamity

readx;?“ Come out, everyone, the master and the young master are back!"

The dwellings of Tianyun City are generally in the shape of exquisite prismatic towers, and the Thorn Flower Chamber of Commerce is no exception, with a silver pillar body and a golden spire, a total of ten floors high, and a small courtyard enclosed, although the place is relatively remote, but the environment is quite comfortable and comfortable.

Wandering Wind walked into the courtyard with a smile on his face, no matter how hard and tired he was, as long as he returned to the small courtyard, he would feel very proud and comfortable. This most inconspicuous small residence in Tianyun City is the result of the hard work of the Chamber of Commerce. In addition to the caravan members, there are more than 100 logistics personnel in the whole chamber of commerce, including men and women, old and young, and mostly women and the elderly, these logistics are generally the families of the caravan members, everyone has lived here for many years, and they get along with each other harmoniously and peacefully.

Lao Jing, Liufeng, the female doctor, and more than 20 caravan guards all appeared at the door, and people immediately cheered and ran out to greet them.

"Aunt Water Lotus!"

Two little girls with pigtails rushed over and threw themselves into the arms of the female doctor, the two of them had red cheeks, very lively and cute, the female doctor Shui Lian picked up the two children on the left and right, and asked the two little guys with a warm face.

"It's hard, it's hard, the breeze is tanning again. An old woman looked at the drifting wind with a kind face, and he fell on Lao Jing again: "This time, the caravan is going well, right?"

"We met the bandits of the Mangfu Regiment in the marginal area, and we fought the traitors of the Dark Core Society in the Shazhou Battalion, I have followed Lao Jing so many times, and I have never experienced it like this once. Before Lao Jingdu could speak, Liulifeng replied instead, his eyebrows fluttered and he described the thrilling process, but his face immediately darkened, as if he remembered something sad: "Uncle can't come back." ”

Uncle is the captain of the guard of the Thorn Flower Caravan.

When the Thorn Flower Chamber of Commerce saw the caravan come back, they had already discovered that the Muna man who had always followed Lao Jing was gone. Everyone knows what that means, and it seems that the loyal captain of the guard will not return.

It is not uncommon for caravans on the edge to walk in lawless lands, and people feel sad and silent, after all, the people who live here have established deep friendships without blood ties.

"Don't be too upset, everybody. Lao Jing held the black jade bead in his hand, he has been in business for many years, this kind of life and death is also common, but an old partner for more than ten years said that it is gone, even he is a little difficult to accept in his heart, let alone other people, but Lao Jing still comforts everyone, "This time we have harvested several times as much as before, although the captain unfortunately died, but in exchange for our better life, may the gods protect his soul in heaven." Shuilian, you take out three times the pension to the captain's wife and children, and everyone will take care of his children in the future. ”

The female physician Shuilian nodded.

It's a blessing to be able to come back alive this time!

The reckless group is known for its bloodthirsty and cruelty, and the caravans that this bandit team has looted have always been all wiped out and women's money and goods have been taken away, with few exceptions, if it weren't for the mysterious demon hunter, I'm afraid the Thorn Flower Chamber of Commerce would have been wiped out.

Not to mention the captain of the guard, Old Master Jing, Young Master Feng, and the other twenty or so guards, I'm afraid they will all be on the verge of death, as for her, she will definitely be taken away by these bandits, and she will live a terrible life that is worse than death from now on.

Lao Jing waved his hand to signal everyone to disperse: "Our rules can't be broken, everyone prepare." ”

Every time the Thorn Flower Caravan came back safely, everyone would bathe, sacrifice, pray, and hold a feast to celebrate one side in order to thank the gods for taking care of them.

Night was falling.

Tianyun City is full of flowers.

The canopy of the strange trees released a soft light, which instantly illuminated a large area of the ground, and countless towering strange trees were like a huge umbrella of light enveloping the entire Tianyun City. The whole city seems so peaceful and peaceful, as if it is the only pure land left in the world.

People turn on a magic lamp.

From the spout of the golden teapot, countless rays of light like fine sand floated out, and the light and sand condensed into beautiful patterns in mid-air, some in the shape of a heavenly horse, some in the shape of a big tree, rather than dissipating, releasing light, and some also moving, with a vivid sense of art, but also illuminated the interior transparently.

An altar will be set up at the top of the spire of the residential building in Tianyun City, where special magic lamps and tools given by the temple are placed for the priests only. After Lao Jing bathed and changed his clothes, he turned on every magic lamp with his own hands, and the image formed from these magic lamps was a **sacred shrine.

The Thorn Flower Chamber of Commerce is a small chamber of commerce, so the altar is relatively simple, but the arrangement is very careful, and each potted plant is carefully built.

At this time, it was already about six o'clock in the evening, and the sun's rays gradually disappeared completely, and from the direction of the temple came a solemn and sacred and melodious bell, as if containing some kind of transcendent energy, which did not weaken with the transmission distance, and rolled out, covering the whole city, so that everyone felt the shock in their hearts, even if any negative and evil thoughts were purified in this bell.

The twilight bell of Tianyun City rang, the day was over, and the world of worshippers praying for the evening began.

Lao Jing and Liulifeng's clothes were specially prepared for the sacrifice, and Doctor Shuilian also changed into a spotless white robe, making her look more beautiful and beautiful, with three people standing at the front and the rest at the back.

After bathing and changing clothes, more than two dozen members knelt down in front of the altar with reverent faces and began to pray.

As a businessman, Lao Jing may be a little speculative and a little shrewd and greedy, but Lao Jing, like most of the residents of Tianyun City, is a very devout believer, and he believes that everything he has is given by great gods.

This time, the merchant escaped death, and he also met several demon hunters, who strengthened the military for Xiaofeng, and added a lot of favorable factors to his future growth, what would it be if this was not the protection of the gods?

"Thank you to the gods for their protection. ”

"May the gods shine forever. ”

"May God's grace shine through. ”

Lao Jing, Water Lotus, and Liuli Wind took the lead in kneeling and kowtowing.

Others prostrate themselves on the ground to show their devotion and reverence for God.

Drifting Wind was indeed different from his pious adoptive father, who found the sacrifice very boring, and he did not believe that the gods on high could hear mortal prayers. Wandering Wind wanted to become a demon hunter, not because of how much he wanted to be loyal to the gods, but simply because he was purely interested in the demon hunter itself.

Of course.

Boredom is boring, and you have to pretend to look like it.

The prayer lasted for two hours.

Lao Jing was too old, and he had been prostrate on the ground for a long time, which made him feel backache and leg pain, so he could only rely on the help of the wandering wind and Doctor Shuilian to stand up for old age. However, Lao Jing's improvement is very good, and he feels that he has gained more points from the gods, and this feeling of faith makes his heart very steady.

"Let's start the dinner!"

The children of the Thorn Flower Caravan cheered and jumped for joy.

The dinner is very rich, this is also the tradition of the Chamber of Commerce, every time the caravan returns safely, the Chamber of Commerce will set up a sumptuous food and wine to celebrate, this day will also become the most festive day of the month of the Thorn Flower Chamber of Commerce, just like a festival. Especially the greedy children, they can taste a lot of delicious food again,

In this land of gods, most of the fruits and grains can grow at an extremely fast rate, and cattle, sheep and livestock can also multiply at an astonishing speed, as long as there is a pious belief in the gods in Tianyun City, there are almost no hungry people, after all, it is the main city of the entire god domain, and its prosperity is incomparable to other places.

At the end of the ceremony, he returned to his usual cheerful and uninhibited appearance, stepped on a table, and raised a glass of golden ale wine in his right hand: "Have a good drink today!"

"Young Master Feng, you don't have many days when you drink happily with us like this. ”

"Yes, Young Master Feng is about to become a demon hunter, how can a noble demon hunter drink at the same table with an inferior citizen like us. ”

"Ahh

The crowd burst into laughter.

Lao Jing smiled but said seriously: "Xiao Feng pay attention to your actions and words, you are about to become a demon hunter, how can you be so frivolous?

Drifting wind shrugged mischievously.

These words are not against the eyes of the heart, it is not easy for the Thorn Flower Caravan to get to where it is today, when the Wandering Wind was adopted by Lao Jing more than ten years ago, the scale of the Chamber of Commerce was still very small at that time, and it was not qualified to settle in Tianyun City. I can only wander around, and my life is very hard. It was Lao Jing who led everyone to finally have today's life through unremitting efforts.

The exile wind is also full of pride.

That's why I value you very much.

Although these people did not have a high status in Tianyun City, each of them was his family.

His greatest idol is the city lord Starlight Master, and his greatest dream is to become a powerful and noble demon hunter to protect everyone, and he decides to work hard for his dreams and pursuits.

When more than 100 people were in full swing in the courtyard and preparing to have a busy dinner.

Boom!

The door was suddenly pushed open.

There was a sound of armor rubbing.

More than 100 soldiers rushed in, each armed with an anti-aircraft crossbow or a soldier's sword, surrounded the door in the shortest time, and the armor flashed with cold light under the divine light, and the murderous appearance was like a basin of cold water, splashed on the hot coal, which made the atmosphere of the scene suddenly cold.

A couple of people dressed as demon hunters walked out.

The leader was a young man and a middle-aged man, the young man with white armor and silver spear was very handsome, and the middle-aged man was wearing a demon hunter's white cloak, with a lofty temperament and an elegant aristocratic atmosphere. Both of them are well-known big names in Tianyun City, among which the young man is Dong Guixue, the apprentice of the Starlight Master, and the middle-aged man is Xi Yunhong, the disciple of the Starlight Master and the assistant of the city lord.

Both of them were among the most important henchmen of the City Lord, not to mention the presence of several other demon hunters. Standing up here is probably enough to make this small chamber of commerce tremble. How could such a small caravan as the Thorn Flower Caravan have ever entertained so many big people at the same time? They were almost stunned on the spot.

"Ladies and gentlemen. Lao Jing felt that something was wrong, he stood up tremblingly, hurriedly walked to the front, bowed respectfully and saluted: "May I ask what you have ordered so far?"

Dong Guixue sneered, and the silver light flashed, and the blade of the gun, which was as bright as a silver mirror, pointed at the old man: "You traitors, colluding with the demon clan spies, are still pretending to be stupid here? I have already found it out, I advise you not to resist stubbornly, tell me! Where are the demon clan spies!"

"Impossible!" Lao Jing had always been steady, but at this moment he was shocked, "We are just a small chamber of commerce, how can we have the ability to collude with the demon clan? We are all devout believers in God, it is impossible to do such a thing, there must be some misunderstanding among the adults." ”

"Do you still want to hide it? Please keep your eyes open and see if this is your thing!" Dong Guixue threw a set of clothes on the ground, and officially gave Yun Ying the clothes of the Thorn Flower Caravan, and his voice was like ice slag: "You brought in the demon spies, do you still want to admit it?"

Everyone in the Thorn Flower Caravan had a look of fear.

A figure appeared in front of everyone's eyes...... Could it be that person?

This doesn't make sense logically, how could he be a demon spy?

However, it doesn't matter whether this matter is true or false for the time being, even if that person is really a demon spy, this crime must not be admitted, otherwise it will really be over.

Wandering Wind couldn't help but stand up: "Mistaken! You must be mistaken! How could he be a demon spy? Not only did he save our lives, but he also cracked the Dark Core Society spy in the sandbank camp, and he was also a skilled demon hunter, how could he be a demon spy! He came to Tianyun City to meet the Starlight Master, I think the Starlight Master definitely doesn't want to see good people being wished!"

Xi Yunhong frowned slightly.

Dong Guixue's pupils contracted slightly, a killing intent pulsed in his pupils, and his voice seemed to float out of hell: "It seems that you know something, it seems that there are quite a few!"

Finished!

Lao Jing is experienced, although he doesn't know what's going on, but judging from the performance of this winter returning snow adult, he can already guess some of them, and his heart suddenly cooled in half.
