Chapter Eighty-Nine: Lockdown
Longzhong Cityγ
Today, the snow in Longzhong City seems to have drifted to every corner of the empire, and the news that the Great Demon King is going to wake up in Longzhong City is becoming more and more real, so much so that cultivators who just want to have a good time have rushed to Longzhong City overnight.
Perhaps, it is really true that Xu Jiaqing has the first-hand information of the awakening of the Great Demon King, although it is rumored that Xu Jiaqing got the [Heart Stone] of the Great Demon King on the first day, and then threatened the Great Demon King on the first day to let him open the Tower of Babel in Longzhong City and want to become holy in one step, but the second most reliable news is that on the first day, the Great Demon King chose the location closest to the center of the empire, and prepared to cast the magic circle of Tongtian and open the Heavenly Tower, this area, that is, Longzhong City, Of course, Xu Jiaqing, as the head of Longzhong City, refused, so he had to convene a banquet of heroes and discuss countermeasures with everyone, and he had no intersection with the Great Demon King himself on the first day.
And according to the news released by Xu Jiaqing, he did know that the Great Demon King would come to Longzhong City on the first day, and open the Tower of Babel, he and the Great Demon King on the first day fought for a few days, the first day of the Great Demon King was still a little conscientious, and promised to make a move after a month, in Xu Jiaqing's story, his helplessness, his incompetence, his heart for the world, all fought with the Great Demon King on the first day, as if, things are indeed like this.
No one really knows the truth, but no one will think that Xu Jiaqing's story is right, such an old and cunning person will not blush and beat when he tells a story full of loopholes.
Everyone said that this was a bureau, one for the huge business of Longzhong City, and the other for the Xu family. If you are thick-skinned, then everyone has nothing to say, so you just laugh and talk a few words behind your back, you can't stop Xu Jiaqing's majesty, after all, his financial resources are here, and few dare to say anything.
Even if I heard that there is free good wine and good food at the banquet of this group of heroes, I have to say that Xu Jiaqing is higher with a smile than a thumbs up.
However, Xu Jiaqing may not be very comfortable with these names in the eyes of outsiders, because the White Deer King of Fuzhen Division is here, and the business of Longzhong City can't go on, and then Xu Jiaqing was investigated by the White Deer King overnight, and spent several days in prison in a row, which is really uncomfortable.
No, how can you say that this White Deer King dares to check the place tyrant Xu Jiaqing?
Because the White Deer King is not an ordinary person......
"You just want to announce the arrival of the Great Demon King on the first day at this time? I think you're demonic! Invaded your mind! Li Lusheng looked at Xu Jiaqing, who was tied, and the annoyance in his heart didn't come to a place, he slapped the table, but he didn't make much noise, and said calmly: "How many front-line soldiers are stationed in front of them to prepare for war?" Did you know that as soon as your news came out, we had to prevent a fire in our backyard? When delaying the army, the arrow is on the string, and if it is not fired, it is to lead the string and frighten the bow! If you don't hurt your opponent, you should damage yourself first! You know the wrath of the saints! How big is it, exactly? If he wants me to see you, he will kill you. β
The weight of this sentence is so scary, as if he gritted his teeth and said it, he also gritted the words.
Xu Jiaqing didn't speak, just lowered her head and looked at him.
His thin body was already rickety enough, and he didn't look like a middle-aged man at all.
The cold air all around, the snow in winter, like the scorching blood, is also going to wake people up.
"Before the matter was clear, our brothers could not withdraw their troops, nor could they withdraw their troops, and they were caught in the middle, and suddenly it became extremely difficult, and this was a month's worth of armaments! It's all consumed in vain! Do you know how big your guilt is? Three generations of your family can't pay it off! Li Lusheng's anger directly burned the two small water spirit antlers on his head red, and he started a fire and stared at Xu Jiaqing viciously.
Xu Jiaqing, who was like a little old man, was silent, his eyes were not bright, as if all his answers had lost their meaning.
"I'll ask you now! Is what you're saying true or not? Li Lusheng was also impatient and slammed the table.
Li Lusheng looked at the annoying guy in front of him, and his lack of a word made Li Lusheng's fist style weigh down, and smashed a big hole directly on the ground.
Xu Jiaqing's old age seems to be visible day by day, and now, under his all-white hair, he can only see the wrinkled eyes that are "curled up".
"Yes...... Really ......"
He coughed, violently, violently making a terrible snoring sound from his trachea, and then calm, he looked at Li Lusheng, and a glimmer of light in his eyes disappeared in an instant.
Li Lusheng looked at him, he was not stunned, but he was in disbelief, because just a few days ago, when he saw Xu Jiaqing, Xu Jiaqing's appearance was definitely not like this.
He didn't speak, just sat down, and the light here was dim in the winter.
"I ...... I'm a father......"
Xu Jiaqing spoke......
It's like a heavy bell.
"When I die...... Please ...... Tell my child...... He must ...... Good ...... Stay alive ......"
His words became very soft again, and the bell-like voice suddenly choked and dumb, like a cold bird touching the snow on a winter night, and disappeared without a trace......
"What?" Li Lusheng sat up violently, this inexplicable answer...... Or this inexplicable self-talk, this inexplicable entrustment, makes this person look so, terrible.
He sat down again, disappointed, looking at the snow outside the house, and suddenly, a subtle blue light rushed to the corner of his eye, making him stare straight over,
Is that......
Or maybe it's dazzling.
It was an ice-blue flower, dangling, falling in the sky, and the cold light on its body ...... It's like falling stars.
He immediately got up, put on his clothes from the shelf and walked over, the antlers were crystal clear, and they were also lit with blue light, but the blue light of this flower was different, and the cold air invaded the body and penetrated the heart.
He glanced back at Xu Jiaqing in the room, he was standing with his body bowed in the dim light, like a dead branch, his body was so thin and weak, completely different from the figure a few days ago.
Look again, that flower......
It seemed to fall deep into the ground, into the snow, it was a flower made of ice crystals, the petals were mottled and cracked, he didn't dare to get closer, he could only watch from a distance, the small sound of Bilibili was like ice crystals cracking.
He suddenly thought of something, a little surprised, frightened touched his face, cold sweat broke out from his forehead, and his face slowly slid down.
"Bastard!" He looked back sharply at the figure in the room, the person standing quietly, what the hell did he know!
"All of them! Alert! Lockdown now! Let them retreat! β
He gritted his teeth again and shouted loudly.
Li Lusheng ran, he jumped onto the gate of the Fa Division, and ran quickly on the high wall.
The team of the Righteous Law Division quickly rushed out of the hall of the Righteous Law Division, and they eagerly rang the fire bell, [Bell! Clang! Clang! It is enough to reach the ears of all those who close the doors and windows, and at this time, the thousands of lights in Longzhong City are lit up one after another, as if they were not yet curfew.
However, the fire bell was a bad omen, and they all eagerly poked their heads out to see which one was so unlucky that it caught fire on a snowy day.
"Hey...... Let's go check it out......"
Junichi Tachibana pushed Changyu Feng, who was cultivating, and Changyu Feng opened his eyes and shook his head.
"Why?" Tachibana Junichi rubbed her waist very tiredly, and she was also woken up by the bell: "These days, it's not as fun as the previous few days, it's a curfew every day these days, it's really boring to death...... It's on fire...... Don't you want to check it out? It's kind of fun...... Though...... Forehead...... Very lacking in morality......"
"I'm not going to ......" Nagawa Kaede still shook his head, Junichi Tachibana didn't know why he didn't go to see the excitement, and returned to bed with some disappointment.
She lay on the bed with her arms wide open, staring boredly at the ceiling.
"How strange...... Don't you think? Tachibana Jun looked at Changyu Feng who was meditating, and he concentrated his energy, letting the spiritual power pass through his dantian and then settle down.
"Shhh...... I feel...... Isn't that weird...... Why did the White Deer King come and stop the banquet of this group of heroes...... Xu Jiaqing doesn't seem to have any news, it stands to reason that at this time, shouldn't Xu Jiaqing come out and announce that it will be a banquet of heroes in two days? And also...... At that time, there were many rules for the boiling banquet of heroes...... We didn't get an invitation, so it seemed like we had to sit down and watch. β
Tachibana paused, then looked at the ceiling again.
"The Feast of Heroes is obviously a hoax...... Right? β
"I don't know......" Chang Yu Feng shook his head silently.
In the past few days, this matter has been spread by people in the inn, and there is no quasi-letter, it is all nonsense that is not clear, hearsay, how to come with a gimmick, even Xu Jiaqing is the descendant of the Great Demon King on the first day.
It's just a fire.
"Hey, I don't know what your attitude is towards the prophecy on that handkerchief or something, that woman wants you to kill Lan Luo, maybe you are the child of destiny in the underworld, right, what kind of god will help you show the way, the god is like a god, others don't believe it, I believe it, right? I watched with my own eyes as the prophetic woman appeared before me. β
Tachibana looked at his fingers boredly and flicked his nails.
"It's actually hard for me to make a decision...... Chang Yu Feng sighed and put his hand on his knee: "Let's not talk about the strength of the Great Demon King on the first day, even if she appeared, all the cultivators wanted to get some benefits from her, and in the past few days, we have also seen so many cultivators who regard the Great Demon King of the First Day as a plaything, and they don't know anything about the Great Demon King of the First Day."
"That'...... What to do? Junichi Tachibana stroked his hair and smoothed them out, "I don't know where I lost that book, these are secrets that only become a guardian...... The records of the Seven Great Demon Kings are all small legends like Xu Jiaqing...... The real information has long been blocked......"
Junichi Tachibana closed his eyes, twisted his shoulders on the bed, and changed to a comfortable position to sleep.
"Hmm...... Therefore, in this matter, I can only and must make a careful choice, whether or not I will kill the Great Demon King of the present world like other cultivators. β
He paused, then looked out the window at the already brightly lit night.
"So what...... Now I ...... It seems that it is rare not to stand in line...... Don't take sides of any one. β
"Camp? Be...... What? Which camp have you been on before? β
As soon as Tachibana Jun opened his eyes, he went to look at Changyu Kaede again, but Changyu Kaede did not speak.
Just looking at the head of the bed.
"Nothing...... I just feel a lot like a camp...... Wheels within wheels...... I can't tell the difference...... Or rather, who is the grasshopper in the same boat, I am confused......"
The lights in the distance did not have billowing white smoke, but the members of the Fa-rectification Division who were flying on the wall.
Someone shouted to follow them away.
There were people lining up, those who followed closely, very reluctantly, but there was no way.
"Hey...... We finally came to Longzhong City, why did we suddenly drive us away? "Someone in the team yelled at the Fa-rectification Division personnel.
"You won't let us die! Such a big snowy day! Feed! β
There was no sound from the Fa-rectification Division, just a chain that bound the man.
The man was about to have a seizure, but he was detained by the Righteous Law Division and gagged with a white cloth.
"Like, it's not a fire......" Chang Yu Feng looked at this scene, frowning at the long line that had already been lined up.
They don't look like they're watching the excitement, but like they're being detained.
"What?"
Tachibana Jun got up and walked quickly to the window, she looked at everything downstairs in shock, and looked at Changyu Feng in disbelief.
Chang Yufeng was about to speak, when he heard a voice at the gate: "Guest officer, Longzhong City is closed, everyone must leave, you should also hurry downstairs, and the room money will be refunded in full."
Before he could reply, the man knocked on the door of the other man's room again.
"Sealed ...... It's ......" Junichi Tachibana couldn't believe it even more, but it seemed that he still had some excited eyebrows: "Anyway...... On the first day, the matter of the Great Demon King must have eyebrows...... There's a good show to watch......"
"I hope so...... Let's pack our things and go......"
"We didn't bring anything...... There is no change in the clothes of immortal cultivators, okay, let's take a walk...... Let's go now......" Junichi Tachibana happily went to open the door, and Changyu Kaede could only follow.
They have never had any property, and Xiaolan has been sleeping, turning into a fish and hiding in the cuffs of Changyu Feng, they can be said to have two sleeves of fresh breeze, and they have not brought anything at all. Nor will anything be taken away.
When they went down, they found that so many people were already lining up at the inn, those strange-shaped weapons, those strange-shaped clothes, and those strange-shaped people were all looking at Changyu Feng.
Maybe......
What did Changyu Kaede forget......
When he came back to his senses and remembered that he had forgotten something, it seemed that he had already regretted it.
"Principality people......" The exclamations of all sizes were directed at Changyu Kaede, and there were enough whispers, as if everything had become troublesome.
Long Yu Feng's delicate short hair can also become the target of public criticism at this time.
The two of them stood awkwardly at the top of the stairs, staring at the rows of strange eyes.
No matter how strange it is, no matter how strange it is, their hair is long, whether it is male or female......
Sometimes, it's so strange, long hair is an empire, short hair, it means a principality, even if you're not, the label is so, you are too.
Chang Yu Feng raised his head sharply, went upstairs, entered the room, and put the light veil on his head.
Maybe it's because I've been in the inn for a few days, and I haven't gone out because of the ban, and now I suddenly want to go out, and I forgot this identity card.
But in any case, those strange eyes, so anxious, although they no longer make him nervous, but the discomfort is indeed there.
Stunned on the spot, Junichi Tachibana, who came to his senses, also followed upstairs, and saw Chang Yufeng coming out of the room with his veil covered, and stood in place waiting for him.
"Huh...... I thought I could really watch a good show, but I ended up watching a good show of my own...... Hahaha" Junichi Tachibana scratched his head a little embarrassed: "I'm sorry, I should pay attention."
"It's okay, my fault ......" Changyu Kaede nodded, and Junichi Tachibana in the light gauze was a little embarrassed.
"Well, I don't know why the relationship between the principality and the empire is so bad now...... Trouble dead man......"
Junichi Tachibana went down the stairs in distress, but Nagawa Kaede didn't answer, but followed her, looking at the stairs under her feet.
First-order first-order ......
It's like melancholy.
He wanted to say I don't know.
But he couldn't tell.
I just can't say it.
