Chapter 185: Hidden in the Light
readx;? It's just that Yang Fan really can't understand how a sword can convey its own thoughts and emotions to himself. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info
Because what was transmitted from the sword into Yang Fan's heart was a vague feeling of anger.
This is the strange feeling that Yang Fan finally figured out after lying on the bed for a long time.
Could it be that the Red Dragon Sword, as the former top fetal transformation level powerful sword, actually already has its own thoughts, otherwise, how could a dead thing convey emotions like a human?
It's just that the intensity of that emotion is still in an extremely weak state, so weak that I don't know whether this emotion wants to express joy or anger.
Yang Fan subconsciously reached out and grabbed the red dragon sword leaning on the edge of the bed and raised it in front of his eyes, and gently pulled out the blade of the sword that exuded a faint red glow even if there was no vitality injection, staring at it for a long time, it seemed that even in this cold room, he gradually gave birth to a little warmth, taking care of the restless Yang Fan and Li Shaobai who was gradually falling asleep;
Following.
The sky was just hazy, and there was a white light on the horizon in the distance, which looked cold and extremely cold in the cold morning, if it was placed nine months ago, Yang Fan would still be wrapped in a warm quilt and could not wake up.
It was only because of his own willfulness that he ran up the back mountain regardless of his parents' good intentions, but he fell off the cliff because of the rain that had just fallen; as a result, nine months ago, Yang Fan never imagined that he would cultivate the method that would really strengthen his body in theory, and he would never have imagined that he only had less than thirty years left to live, let alone that he just saw the city lord of Luoxia City, so he was hung in his heart by the shameless Shentu Xuanji, and tried every means to take himself and his eldest brother into his city lord's mansion。
However, even in this seemingly omnipotent Xuantian Continent, Yang Fan had never heard of any "regret medicine" being sold. So after the fatigue on his body quickly dissipated, before dawn, Yang Fan had already woken up.
"Click, click, click. ”
At this moment, a knock suddenly sounded outside the door, which clearly entered Yang Fan's ears through the dry and silent quiet room in the early morning.
Li Shaobai was obviously almost rested, and almost at the moment when the knock sounded, he opened his eyes instantly, scanned the room vigilantly, slowly sat up, and looked at the door.
"Big brother, let's go out and have a look. ”
Yang Fan heard the movement behind him, and also quietly got up and said in a low voice.
After all, the old man who led the two of them in yesterday said before leaving that someone would come to take his brothers to see Shen Tuxuan this morning, and the one who was knocking on the door at this time should be running errands.
Li Shaobai probably also thought of this, grabbed the long sword next to the pillow, tidied up the clothes on his body slightly, and walked out first.
The door opened, and sure enough, there was a young man dressed as a servant standing outside, about seventeen or eighteen years old, one year older than Li Shaobai, one of the two brothers.
The young man, who had been waiting outside after only knocking on the door three times, saw the two men come out, and before they could ask questions, he said:
"The lord of the castle is already waiting for you in the backyard, please come with me. ”
Li Shaobai and Yang Fan looked at each other, not knowing why Shen Tuxuan suddenly became so polite. If it were said that he had changed his temper, perhaps the onlookers who didn't know why would believe this seemingly elegant and upright city lord, but for Yang Fan and the others, who had been threatened by him with tens of thousands of lives in the entire Qinglong Village, they would not believe it anyway.
What's more, the owner of this house is still the sinister and cruel Shen Tuxuan -- who can threaten only two people with tens of thousands of lives, where does it seem that he is not cruel? And the person who threatens with tens of thousands of lives is caring and considerate to him at this time, where does it seem that he is not sinister?
Yang Fan obviously couldn't let Li Shaobai follow the young man out of the courtyard first, after all, his own cultivation was still above the eldest brother, if there were any conspiracy traps waiting for them, Yang Fan could also rely on the gap in cultivation to alleviate one or two.
Of course, with Shen Tuxuan's status and strength, the two of them believed that even if he used all his strength, he would not be able to deal with Yu Changtian, who was just releasing his aura, but if he was dealing with two children who had not reached the realm of forging bones, I am afraid that he would only need to release his aura and suppress the two of them to the point that they had no power to fight back.
After leaving the small courtyard where he lived, he walked all the way down the stone road in front of the door to the deeper part of the mansion, and Yang Fan unexpectedly saw that on a certain wide field that looked like a martial arts training ground, there were more than a dozen body refiners fighting in pairs, or practicing their own alchemy alone, or someone was looking through a certain book in his hand while doing a few difficult movements from time to time.
These...... Could it be that all of them are the doormen of the City Lord's Mansion?
Even though Yang Fan had tried hard to control his facial expressions and wanted to make himself look still plain, the shock in his heart had already spread to his face.
Even Li Shaobai, who has always been calm, flashed a look of shock in his eyes.
And the abnormal state of the brothers is only because the dozen or so body refiners on the martial arts training ground are all powerful cultivators above the body grinding realm.
Under the leadership of the young man in front of them, Yang Fan and the others quickly walked through the gate of the martial arts training ground surrounded by walls on all sides, and continued to walk deeper, while everyone in the martial arts training ground also began to stop cultivating in twos and threes, and began to whisper.
"Those are the two body refiners newly recruited by the adult, but they are quite strong!"
"I think it's the body refiner that the city lord just brought from outside, and he actually has the cultivation of the middle stage of the body grinding realm, it's really powerful!"
"Cut, you're the only one who sees the back, right?"
"How?"
"The one in the middle looks like the youngest one, and the breath coming from his body, but even I can't figure it out!"
"What? Brother Wang, you're already a figure who has half a foot in the late stage of the Body Grinding Realm! That young man can't even see through you, doesn't he say......"
A handful of four people gathered around the center of the martial arts training ground whispered about Yang Fan and Li Shaobai who had just passed by, and in the different circles around them talking to each other, the scale of this circle was definitely not small.
"If that young man doesn't have a special means of concealing aura cultivation...... I'm afraid he does have what it takes to join the Shadow Team......"
The middle-aged man called "Brother Wang", who was surrounded by the three of them, withdrew his gaze from the door and looked serious.
As a result, wouldn't the monthly payment distributed by the government to itself and others become less and less? When he first came to the city lord's mansion as a doorman, he blamed him for only seeing the generous monthly payment promised to be distributed to the doormen in the first half of the contract, but he didn't see the last line of small words: "If there is a stronger person under the city lord's command, half of the monthly payment should be issued to this person, and the rest of the people who are inferior in cultivation will be apportioned according to their own cultivation", so he hastily signed a deed of sale with the city lord's mansion for 20 years.
Brother Wang already has ten years of experience as a disciple in the City Lord's Mansion, and with the spiritual pills that the City Lord distributes to everyone every month, he has already stepped from the early stage of the Body Grinding Realm to the middle stage, and has already begun to accumulate for the later stage of the realm, just waiting to study up to five sets of more advanced alchemy techniques, and the advanced late stage will be a matter of course.
It's just that the spiritual elixir taken from the City Lord's Mansion is not just a simple supply to the thousands of disciples under the door, but it needs to be cultivated to be stronger to teach the weaker body refiners with all their heart, and the weaker body refiners are equivalent to high-level guards hired by the City Lord's Mansion, or professional thugs.
These people all know that don't look at the positive image that the city lord has always shown on the outside is glamorous, majestic and elegant; Shen Tuxuan's side that is not known to outsiders but is passed on by word of mouth among the disciples is that the giant boss who is in charge of nearly seventy percent of the underworld business in the entire Luoxia City is in charge of almost all the forces of the underworld in Luoxia City.
It's just that over the years, the doormen in the City Lord's Mansion have changed one after another, but Shen Tuxuan has been well hidden, and he has never left any evidence to give to the important members of the military department.
As for the disciples in his mansion, it's not that nearly a hundred years have passed, and there is not a single person with good intentions who wants to break away from Shen Tu Xuan's control, but recently, there was an incident that happened about twenty years ago, a monk in the early stage of the Bone Forging Realm was ordered to go and kill a Body Grinding Realm refiner who had borrowed nearly 1,000 yuan crystals from Shen Tu Xuan, but had no intention of repaying the loan.
This is nothing.,The same thing happens in Luoxia City almost every week.,The only thing that distinguishes it from other events is probably that the protagonist of this incident is a body refiner at the peak of the middle stage of the grinding body realm.,So that when all the monks in the mansion who have the late stage cultivation of the grinding body realm go out.,A master of the Bone Forging Realm was dispatched.。
What led to the further escalation of this simple "have money to pay back, but no money to resist your life" was that Shen Tu Xuan heard that the body refiner had cursed the Lord of the Bone Forging Realm Cultivator - that is, himself before he died, and then ordered that person to continue to kill all the relatives and friends related to the deceased.
It was precisely because of this incident that after the refiner of the Bone Forging Realm pretended to set off, according to later legends, he did not carry out Shen Tu Xuan's miserable order at all, and went out of the gate of the City Lord's Mansion, and then immediately left Luoxia City and fled.
For the next few weeks, the escaped Bone Forging Realm monk had not been heard from all the time, and he had disappeared inexplicably.
Just when everyone thought that such a strong man had fled incognito, at noon one day, he was found in the moat—of course, his body without the slightest sign of vital signs.
Even though a large number of responsible persons wanted to solve the case afterwards, and even a few people from the military department were alarmed later, there was still no clue after a few months, so it became an unsolved case.
Since this incident, none of the alchemists in the City Lord's Mansion have been willing to show kindness and resolutely and cleanly carry out every order of Shen Tu Xuan.
