Chapter 136: The Scourge of the Human Heart (32)
"Thank you Wuling Immortal Jun for your help, otherwise I don't know how long the disaster in Longnan City will last."
A sword cultivator with ordinary facial features, but with gentle means, said politely to Sang Ling.
At this time, it was the third day of Zang Tian's death. After several power battles, after all, it was the seemingly ordinary and gentle monk in front of him who finally won the position of the city lord.
The first thing he did when he took the throne was to invite Sang Ling, and he handed tea and talked, and after a while, the new city lord smiled bitterly and entered the topic:
"Pity me, the former city lord and young lady of Longnan City died tragically, but a good banquet turned red and white, and it became a funeral. Now that the matter is over, in the future, I only hope that there will be no more disasters in Longnan City. β
Sang Ling's face was relaxed, as if she was drinking tea in a teahouse:
"Disasters and disasters are in the hearts of the people, and the hearts of the people are right, and there is no disaster naturally, and if the hearts of the people are not right, there will only be disasters. Everything is a curse to the human heart. β
The new city lord nodded with a wry smile, and suddenly got up and made a big salute to Sang Ling. Sang Ling looked at him, her eyebrows didn't move, and the old god was still sitting on the ground:
"The city lord has something to say."
"I want the City Lord Token."
Come straight to the point.
Sang Ling took out the sign, but did not hand it over immediately, only put it at hand, and said lightly:
"I heard that the new city lord has a good heart, and the city lord's mansion made a lot of trouble before, and he is not to blame in the past. also buried Zang Tian and Zang Lingling decently, which can be described as comprehensive. β
To die is to save face and suffer sin.
The new city lord didn't seem to hear the meaning of Sang Ling's words, straightened up, and said politely:
"It's just that I just want a safe one, and I ask Wuling Immortal Jun to put forward the request."
It's quite honest.
Before coming, Sang Ling had already guessed that this guy must be going to ask him for the city lord's token, and he was ready, and said directly:
"I want to hide all the demons in the Pearl Pavilion, and Longnan City is no longer allowed to oppress the demon clan."
"What?"
The new city lord thought that he would hear the request for the spirit stone of the exercise, but he never expected that it would involve the demon clan, and he was suddenly shocked:
"You're actually colluding with the demon clan!"
But I don't even want to call the word Xianjun.
Seeing that there was finally no need to pretend that you would come and go, Sang Ling continued unhurriedly:
"It's just that I'm nosy, and I don't want to see you cruel, and I do it again and again. How is the demon clan not a living being, too much oppression and exploitation, and finally formed a bad result, and it backspoiled itself. β
The new city lord was shocked, thinking of Zang Lingling, who was killed by the big demon and died tragically, as well as Zang Tian, who fought with Zang Feng and finally died on a wooden bar, the Zangzhu Pavilion, the cave outside the city, they don't know how much demon blood they have in their hands, it can be seen that there is still karma.
The new city lord's eyes drifted for a few moments, and finally nodded.
"Okay, Wuling Immortal Monarch, I promise you."
β¦β¦
When they left from the City Lord's Mansion, Liang Yue and Li Yi were waiting at the door.
Li Yi was anxious like an ant on a hot pot, and he had already worn out several layers of the stone slab in front of the door.
Liang Yue's face was not good-looking, and her brows were so furrowed that she wanted to kill flies.
Suddenly, when he raised his eyes, he saw Sang Ling walking out intact, and immediately greeted him:
"I didn't kill you."
Sang Ling glanced at this person angrily, and said proudly:
"But you can be respectful to me and respond to all requests."
The tone is a relaxed teasing.
Knowing that she was fine, Liang Yue relaxed, but did not ask Sang Ling what she was doing when she was called by the city lord.
Li Yi also didn't care about this matter, he circled around Sang Ling three times, and after seeing that she was not missing an arm or a leg, he was also relieved.
"We've been waiting outside for an hour, it's good that you're okay, otherwise Brother Liangyue and I would have rushed in and asked them for someone."
Sang Ling walked towards the inn with her hands behind her back, and laughed when she heard the words, with a little warmth.
"Longnan City is powerful, don't think about going alone."
At the gate of the City Lord's Mansion, Xie Hanzhou suddenly came out of the door, looking at the back of the other party leaving easily, obviously looking at it a little seriously.
The new city lord walked out and said with a smile:
"Xie Xianjun, all the little demons in the Hidden Pearls Pavilion and Longnan City, I gave them to Wuling Xianjun, but I didn't bargain at all."
Xie Hanzhou's eyes turned and he didn't look at him:
"In your hands, it will only backfire."
The new city lord laughed twice, the only advantage he had compared to Zang Feng was that he was not greedy, and he had no intention of staying at all for such a hot potato as the Zangzhu Pavilion.
But.
"Why didn't Xie Xianjun let me say it? If Wuling Xianjun knew that Xie Xianjun would block the robbery of the rest of the forces for her, he would still help her speak out after the matter was completed. β
Xie Hanzhou didn't answer, his eyes were deep, and he stared silently, even though the other party's back had disappeared on the corner of the street, and he couldn't see it anymore.
"All this is what I owe her."
Even if she knew, she wouldn't be able to make up for his mistakes.
β¦β¦
Night.
Sang Ling had just arrived at the Hidden Pearls Pavilion to pick up the little demon, and before she got closer, she saw the skyrocketing fire.
She immediately rushed into the Hidden Pearl Pavilion, only to find that there were raging flames everywhere, as well as countless mortal girls who were scantily dressed and fleeing with their heads down.
Sang Ling hurriedly grabbed one and asked anxiously:
"What happened?"
The girl was tall and thin, it was Qiulan, she wanted to withdraw her hand in fear, but found that she couldn't pull it out, she looked up in despair, but she saw an acquaintance, and said with great joy:
"It's Xianjun?! Ask Xianjun for help, the yellow steward in the building knows that the Hidden Pearls Pavilion is going to be demolished, and he is already crazy, and he wants to burn this building and let everyone bury him! β
As he spoke, a maniacal laugh came from inside the buildingβ
"Hahaha, since I can't get it, I won't let you get it! I'm going to ruin this, it's all burned, it's all burned! β
Suddenly, even bigger flames burst out from the inside, accompanied by a large cloud of black gas, countless carved beams and paintings smashed down and fell to the ground.
Qiulan was even more frightened, withdrew her hand at once, and ran outside without thinking about it.
Sang Ling immediately went to find the entrance to the dungeon on the first floor.
It's just that this place is already difficult to find, and now with the fire, it is even more difficult. For a while, Sang Ling lost her position in a thick smoke. At this time, the fire in the Hidden Pearl Pavilion was even bigger, and the huge smoke made it difficult for a monk to breathe, and her throat condensed.
Fortunately, after missing it three times, Sang Ling finally saw the narrow staircase, but under the staircase, there was only a constant coughing sound, and she was anxious. She was like this above and the goblins in the dungeon below were only more uncomfortable.
The pace quickened, and when he was about to leap into the staircase, he suddenly felt a sharp edge, poking straight through the darkness, and Sang Ling stepped back, taking a few steps out of the way, before hurriedly avoiding this sudden attack.
The person who came snorted coldly, and then stabbed out another blow, piercing the heart, obviously wanting to kill Sang Ling on the spot.
She immediately raised her hand to deal with it, and at the same time, her body was like electricity, her movements were fast, her moves were fast and ruthless, and she suddenly slashed at the person from the side, and suddenly felt that her heart was real, and she had hit the person.
The man snorted and stepped back, but he had no intention of escaping, but took out a fire bead from his bosom and threw it with his backhand, which was already under the stairs.
In an instant, orange-yellow tongues of fire wrapped around the handrail of the stairs, carrying a terrifying high-temperature smoke.
Sang Ling suddenly took a few steps closer, and then when he saw the other party take out the second fire bead, he stopped and shouted angrily:
"What are you doing!"
The person who came, that is, the yellow steward, had blood at the corner of his mouth and a crazy gaze, like the end of a strong crossbow. However, the fire bead in his hand was extremely steady, and he trembled menacingly from side to side, forcing Sang Ling back.
"What do I want to do? I would like to ask you, Wuling Immortal Monarch, what do you want to do! The Tibetan Pearl Pavilion is my hard work, and every bit of it is cast and cultivated by my own hands, and how much wealth has been created for Longnan City. Why, now when you say bring people, you will bring people, and if you say don't, you don't want them! Why, I asked! β
The tone was angry, and in the end, Steward Huang actually said "wow", spit out another mouthful of blood, and his face turned blue.
Sang Ling frowned and looked at the location of the dungeon behind Huang Steward, at this time, the only exit of the dungeon was already burning a flame more than half a person high, blocking the entrance by ten ten, the stairs were all made of wood, after the flames burned, the stairs were already crumbling and about to collapse.
Therefore, it is necessary to solve the problem quickly.
was anxious in her heart, Sang Ling's face was even calmer, and she sneered when she heard this:
"Then ask your new city lord, I don't have to explain my deal with him again."
Huang Steward's eyes were even more crazy, his fingers were clenched and white, and when he used force, the fire beads were about to be squeezed out from his fingers.
"Whew! What kind of new city lord is just a dog of the Heavenly Dao Sect, and I don't know what kind of ecstasy soup Xie Hanzhou was poured by you! Behind his back, he actually helped you block the robbery of countless disciples in Longnan City, and also helped you let that dog dissolve the Hidden Pearl Pavilion! β
These words are simply earth-shattering, and they exploded!
Sang Ling was stunned, she never expected that all this was Xie Hanzhou's permission and arrangement. What the hell is his purpose!
Huang Guan saw that she was surprised, and felt even more mocking. Turning his head, he vomited more blood, and for a while even his front clothes were soaked. He knew that he was too seriously injured and would definitely die, and seeing that Wu Ling was still thinking about his surprised appearance, he suddenly sneered, raised his palm, and threw the beads in his hand to the entrance of the dungeon behind him.
"I don't care what kind of deal you have, today, I'm going to break the net with you!"
Everything happened so fast, almost in the blink of an eye, and when Sang Ling realized that Huang Guan had moved, the dangerous fire bead had already flown into the air, and it was about to fall down the dungeon stairs, adding the last stick of wood to the fire that had burned to the center of the stairs.
She immediately ran forward, the aura had already been summoned to the maximum, and when there was still half a zhang away, the fire bead was already only an arm's length away from the entrance.
At this time, because of the high temperature, the flame beads had turned red, like rouge coloring, and they were transmitted through it, showing that the huge fire aura in it had been activated, ready to spew out even greater flames.
Sang Ling's pupils shrank, she knew very well that as long as the fire beads were drawn into the fire, there would be even bigger flames in an instant, and the staircase, which was already crumbling, would only be completely broken, burning into the dungeon with all the flames. The dungeon is full of rattan cages, which are already narrow, and even if they don't burn to death, they will choke to death by the huge smoke!
The heart is beating like a drum. At the critical moment, the Mirror of Retrospective Migration suddenly reminded:
"Use the painting shaft to connect the fire beads, quick!"
The last word "fast" is already sharp and silent.
Sang Ling did not hesitate to take out a scroll of paintings from the storage bag, shook it open with one hand, poured spiritual energy into his palm, and with a "bang", rushed towards the fire beads that fell not far away.
The picture scroll was light, and it was filled with ten percent of the aura, and in the blink of an eye, it rushed to the position and collided with the fire bead.
"Poofβ"
With a soft sound, the ignition bead disappeared out of thin air, and was completely swallowed by the scroll.
Sang Ling followed closely, and as soon as she started to pick up the scroll, she sensed that the ignition bead had entered the space within the scroll, because there was no high temperature, the red light gradually went out and lost its effect.
She let out a slow breath, soothing her pounding heart. Crossing the hideous corpse of the Yellow Steward, Sang Ling's feet were swift, and he immediately stepped into the entrance of the dungeon shrouded in flames, his eyes resolute and persistent like a knife.
Suddenly, at this moment, her communication jade pendant lit up.
