Inn.

"It's a clean place, it's as lively as the towns we're passing by." Shui Ruoqing looked out the window and could vaguely see the figures of several pedestrians.

Yue Lingxiao ate the food and said with a smile: "But these things are really delicious, and they look luxurious here, probably because there are some special reasons." ”

Yue Lingxiao just said these words unintentionally, and Jian Ling felt a little Taoist when he heard it. The strangest thing about this place is that there is not the slightest demonic aura, but there is a sense of mortality everywhere.

At this time, the shopkeeper walked forward with a few dishes, smiled bitterly, and said, "Ladies and gentlemen, don't go out after you finish eating for a while, just rest in this place." ”

Lin Fan said in a deep voice: "Why is this? Isn't there anything unsightly? ”

The shopkeeper hurriedly whispered: "Guest officer, you don't know, since the young city lord succeeded to the throne, he has given such an order, you must not go out without important things, otherwise you will inevitably send someone to teach you a lesson." ”

"It is said that there are some monsters not far from here, and the young city lord is doing this to protect us people."

Hearing this, Lin Fan felt very ridiculous and said, "Hearing you say this, isn't the young city lord here a mortal?" How else would you know that? ”

The shopkeeper sighed softly and said, "The young city lord has learned some spells since he was a child, and he has also done a lot of good things for us people, and everyone is willing to believe him."

"Something strange happened to this place a year ago, and even the old city lord died when he encountered a monster, and since then this place has not been as lively as it used to be."

The shopkeeper knew that he had said a lot, so he didn't dare to stay here, so he went out first.

Shui Ruoqing frowned and said, "Lin Fan, there must be a mystery in this place. ”

Lin Fan said indifferently: "If something goes wrong, there must be a demon, after eating these things, let's go visit this young city lord and see who the other party is!" ”

Shui Ruoqing nodded and said, "It's okay." ”

Perhaps, after figuring out those things a year ago, we can understand why this young city lord made these arrangements.

Castle Lord's Mansion.

In the dimly lit room, there was not even a single candlelight.

Originally, the city lord's house was in the compound, and this place has been abandoned for many years, and no one has taken care of it. Since the young city lord succeeded to the throne, he has moved to this place to live, and few people have come in to clean up.

There is not a single mirror in this room, and the layout is very simple, and there is a hint of desolation no matter how you look at it.

The attendant whispered outside the door: "Young City Lord, there are guests visiting.

Thinking of this, the young city lord had a smile on his lips, and with calculation in his eyes, he said, "Okay, I know, let these people wait in the lobby for a while, and I'll go over in a while." ”

"Yes, Young City Lord."

After the entourage left, the young city lord stood up, looked at the marks on his hands, his face was hideous, and muttered, "These people are finally here!" Maybe it's time to meet old friends! ”

The words fell, and the young city lord got up and left.

Lobby.

The sword spirit looked at this place, and always felt a little familiar, as if he had been to such a place many years ago, and even the breath was very familiar.

Although the sword spirit still didn't know the true identity of this young city lord, he still felt faintly uneasy.

"Sword Spirit, what's wrong with you?" Lin Fan asked indifferently.

The sword spirit reacted, smiled bitterly, and said, "Master, I used to be the most willing to travel the world, and I have been to countless places. This time there was a familiar feeling, and I guess I had seen the similarities. ”

Yue Lingxiao smiled bitterly and said, "Sword Spirit, what you said is a bit exaggerated, right?" This young city lord is a mortal, even if he knows some spells, it is impossible for him to really see your appearance. ”

"Not to mention that you have stayed in the Three Realms for tens of thousands of years, and the age of this young city lord is only a few dozen years old."

"You've been to so many places that you can't even remember it completely, how can you have such a deep impression of such a place?"

What Yue Lingxiao said was not unreasonable, and even Jian Ling felt that he was really making a fuss.

Maybe this road has gone through too many difficulties, so that it will be a little trance, as long as you see the young city lord, then everything will be revealed~.

"Everyone, you have been waiting for a long time, if there is something in the house that is not well taken care of, please Haihancai-yes."

It was none other than the young city lord who had just come to the courtyard.

The young city lord only looks like he is in his twenties, but he has the appearance of a gentleman in his gestures. He has sword eyebrows and starry eyes, he is not angry and arrogant, and he looks even more calm.

And the marks on Fang Cai's hands have also disappeared, and everything here is even more indescribably weird.

Lin Fan smiled lightly: "Young City Lord, you are so polite, we were originally a little abrupt when we came uninvited, where is there any inconsiderate hospitality." ”

With a smile on his face, the young city lord said: "You are guests from afar, although I am not very familiar with the rules of this place, I should also do my best to be a landlord." ”

"But I also want to remind you that after staying in this place, don't come out of the house, no matter what you hear in the middle of the night."

"Some of the people who were disobedient before have disappeared, and they haven't been found yet, I'm afraid that there will be more luck and less luck, and I don't want you to have any accidents."

"Now that the sun is almost set, rest for yourselves. I will instruct the butler to prepare some food and plates for you, and then you will depart early tomorrow morning

"I still have some things to do, so I'm not here for you. If you need anything, tell the steward. ”

Lin Fan nodded and said, "En." ”

The young city lord simply ordered the housekeeper a few words and left, so he met in a hurry, and he didn't notice anything, the only thing that was certain was that this young city lord was a mortal, and he didn't have any spiritual power.

Shui Ruoqing said at this time: "Lin Fan, this young city lord is a little different from what the shopkeeper said, he has no spiritual power, and it is impossible for him to have a spell at all." ”

"The shopkeeper's appearance doesn't look like he's telling a lie, could it be that this young city lord is hiding something from the people here? But if he had not cast a spell, how could he win the trust of the people? ”

Lin Fan restrained the smile on his face and said, "There is another possibility, it is true that he has no spiritual power, and it is also true that he has cast spells, but this is not his own power. ”

Yue Lingxiao was shocked and said, "Could it be that there are people in this mansion who know how to spell?" Why did the young city lord lie to everyone? ”

Lin Fan said in a deep voice: "I will know until late at night, the more he doesn't let us go, it means that there are traps in this place." Perhaps, this trap is for us! ”

The crowd was lost in thought, and no one could tell where such uneasy feelings came from. The sword spirit looked at the direction where the young city lord left without saying a word, and made up his mind to wait until late at night to go out to have a look.

Chamber.

The young city lord walked into this place, opened a delicate box, and a demonic aura condensed into shape, and said in a cold voice: "Young city lord, you haven't been here for a year, isn't the time ripe?" ”
