Chapter 41: Why don't you come over and kowtow to your ancestors?
There was a burst of pain on Elder Xu's shoulder, but in front of everyone, for the sake of the Ling Bo faction's face, he could only hold on and not scream, and his old face was flushed.
Elder Xu didn't expect this little calf to be so bold, and before going out, he repeatedly advised: You must calm down, you must calm down!
Let's just go to scare and scare the city lord of Qianze City, don't make trouble!
Shangguan Lan looked at this little disciple who was disrespectful to him, and instead of being angry, he laughed, "I see that this brother has a clear bone, and I think he is a disciple of your sect who will show his martial arts at the Star Picking Conference tomorrow." ”
Without waiting for Elder Xu to speak, Shangguan Lan suddenly said in a deep voice: "This city lord is waiting to see your performance. ”
Elder Xu could only swallow back the words that came to his mouth, Shangguan Lan did not slaughter this unruly junior on the spot, he had already given face to the Ling Bo faction.
Shangguan Lan was clear about the killing of the disciples of the Lingbo Sect who participated in the Star Picking Conference, and what he just said had another deep meaning.
If you don't follow his wishes, it will be a refutation of the face of Qianze City.
Elder Xu is not a brainless person, he stopped the disciple who was about to answer with his hand, endured the pain in his shoulder, and said to Shangguan Lan: "Shangguan City Lord has good eyesight, he is the disciple of our Lingbo Sect to participate in the Star Picking Conference tomorrow, how offended, Shangguan City Lord Haihan." ”
Shangguan Lan nodded with satisfaction, let go of the hand on Elder Xu's shoulder, and pointed to Elder Xu's face before turning around and smiled, "I didn't expect Elder Xu to be quite good at drinking." ”
Elder Xu: "......"
At the end of the song, the dancers retreated, and the maids rushed in with new dishes.
Shangguan Lan came to toast just now, but the wine was not toasted, so he slowly paced towards the main seat while raising his head to drink.
Another maid who didn't have long eyes didn't look at the road with the tray, and hit Shangguan Lan's back headlong, and all the sauce-flavored elbows on the tray splashed on Shangguan Lan's clothes, the elbows rolled to the ground, and the thick sauce was still slowly flowing on the clothes on his back.
The house is full of silence!
The maid hurriedly knelt down and kowtowed, Shangguan Lan closed his eyes, his subordinates in the mansion ...... It's really time to think about changing blood.
"Everyone, enjoy it slowly, and then change your clothes."
When passing by the seat of the Lingbo faction, Shangguan Lan heard a low cheer in a trance: Good splash.
Shangguan Lan didn't care, he very much agreed with what the man said: Yes, it's good!
Soon a new song was played, and the beauty came in with her waist twisted and danced.
Without Shangguan Lan present, all the distinguished guests relaxed, ate and drank to their heart's content, and talked and laughed loudly.
Only Ye Jibai, he looked at the direction in which Shangguan Lan disappeared, his deep eyes were like a secluded pool, as if he had seen everything, but no one knew.
……
Out of the main hall and turned to the uninhabited path, Shangguan Lan couldn't care about the sticky and uncomfortable back, and his voice was low but urgent, "Where are the people?" ”
A dark shadow flashed from behind the rockery on the side, "In the backyard." ”
Shangguan Lan hurried to the backyard.
Located in the south of the city, the Castle Lord's Mansion occupies a very large area and has many guest rooms, and there are many roads to go from the main hall to the backyard.
However, Shangguan Lan was windy under his feet, and he arrived in the backyard in a moment.
He straightened his clothes, brushed his hair, inhaled hard, and spit it out.
"Why don't you come over and kowtow to your ancestors?"
Shangguan Lan almost hit his feet when he heard the sound, and walked a few steps to the pavilion behind the green bamboo.
As soon as he entered the pavilion, Shangguan Lan lifted his robe and knelt down, "My subordinates pay homage to the lord." ”
Under the cold moonlight, a red dress was lifted by the wind, Meng Qinghe stood with his hands in his hands, looked at the night sky outside the courtyard wall, and snorted coldly: "Do you still have me in your eyes?" ”
"The lord forgives the sin, and the subordinates have no choice but to make this decision, and something big has happened in Qianze City."
Meng Qinghe turned around and frowned slightly, "What's wrong?" ”
She had actually guessed that something must have happened, otherwise Shangguan Lan would not have dared to lure her here so publicly.
When he came out of the demon world, Meng Qinghe ordered three times that as long as the sky did not fall, he was not allowed to rashly look for her.
In fact, even if the sky really falls, she can't stand it, but if there is excitement for everyone to watch together, it will be more lively.
Shangguan Lan's forehead was against the cold stone slab, and he replied: "There is a demon ...... in Qianze City Homicide! ”
Meng Qinghe was shocked, "Did you find anything?" ”
On the surface, Qianze City is just an ordinary human city, but behind it, it is controlled by the Demon Realm.
There are actually a lot of demons hidden in Qianze City, but they are all covered up by mortal bodies.
There is a secret decree in the demon world: it is absolutely forbidden to kill mortals.
There may be demons who do not listen to discipline and eat people elsewhere in the world, but it is absolutely impossible for Qianze City.
Shangguan Lan, the third protector of the Demon Venerable Throne, has taken over Qianze City for many years, and he already knows this realm well, and no one dares to commit trouble here.
This is also what surprised Meng Qinghe.
Where did the demon dare to kill people in Chisawa City?
In the old house of the Wu family, when Yan Yuanping, a disciple of the Yunshan Sect, was hollowed out by the devil, Meng Qinghe had a bad premonition, but he never thought that even Qianze City was in crisis.
Shangguan Lan said: "Except for the demonic breath on the wound, there is no way to find anything else, the dead are the disciples of the Lingbo Sect who participated in the Star Picking Conference, and the subordinates are worried that this matter will affect tomorrow's Star Picking Conference, so they are anxious to explain it to you." ”
Sure enough, that day in the Wu family's old house, even Meng Qinghe only realized that he had been killed by the devil when he saw Yan Yuanping's corpse, not to mention Shangguan Lan.
"What do you mean...... Is this a ghost of a certain sect? ”
Shangguan Lan really thought so, "I heard that the disciple of the Lingbo faction is very good, it cannot be ruled out that there are sects that are afraid of being robbed of the limelight by the Lingbo faction, or that there is a vendetta between the sects, so take this opportunity to take revenge." ”
Meng Qinghe paced back and forth for two steps and sat down on the stone bench, "You continue." ”
"The demonic breath on the deceased can't be faked, if this matter is really a conspiracy of a certain sect, that is to say, there are demon hunters involved."
Demon hunters not only exorcise magic, but when they reach a certain stage of cultivation, many demon hunters will begin to practice puppetry.
It is said that the most powerful demon hunter has refined a puppet that is no different from ordinary people, can cry and laugh, is full of emotions, and can be controlled even from thousands of miles away.
It's like hanging an invisible knife over your head, taking your life at any time.
And the most powerful of the puppets is the fairy demon.
In the past, there were demon hunters who used fallen immortals as puppets, disturbing the peace of the fairy world; Using the earth demon as a puppet almost made the entire demon world fall silent.
If it's just a demon eating people, it's simpler, but if it really involves the calculations of the human race, this matter is complicated.
Shangguan Lan looked up at Meng Qinghe, as long as it is an immortal cultivation sect, there are more or less several demon hunters, and the Yunshan faction where Meng Qinghe is now is a great immortal cultivator on the rivers and lakes.
In addition, the Yunshan faction and the Lingbo faction have never dealt with each other, so the suspicion is even greater.
