Chapter 69: Old Promises

With the departure of the Wailing Mountain Ghost, the light that was taken away from Yujing City finally came again.

The lamps that had not been lit before were lit one by one, but it was a pity that the previous laughter and laughter had long been lost in the city.

The embarrassed Liu Yuansu was quickly helped up, and everyone didn't know how to comfort him for a while.

It was the first time that the all-powerful city lord had suffered such a tragic defeat in their eyes, and more than a dozen monks in the city had been easily captured.

Even if they didn't speak, just from Liu Yuansu's expression, they could know that his mood at the moment was definitely not good.

The three of Xie Zhengliu in the corner watched the whole process silently, and they quickly retreated into the depths of the alley.

"I'm afraid we'll need to change our plans." Xie Zhengliu said to the two of them, "What the Crying Mountain Ghost wants to get is definitely not simple, even if he misses Zhao Qingwu, he can't let him get this thing." ”

Others don't know, can she still not know, how can someone who can cooperate with the Crying Mountain Ghost be a good person.

recalled the "great fame" that the Crying Mountain Ghost had once broken through in the cultivation realm, and remembered how much effort it took him to force him to stay on Jiutao Mountain obediently, and he didn't dare to step out of the mountain.

The more Xie Zhengliu thought about it, the more her head hurt, she had only been dead for thousands of years, and this person actually broke his promise and ran out by himself.

Xie Zhengliu felt that the crying mountain ghost was shameless.

She told the two of them her thoughts, where did Yue Mingqiu and Zhuang Youqian not agree.

Taking advantage of the darkness of the night, the figures of the three quickly disappeared into the alley. And outside the alley, Liu Yuansu had already pacified the rest of the people and told them to go home and wait for news.

The men looked at each other silently as they were urged to leave. Most people were worried about the situation of the city lord, but there were also a group of people who put their minds on the "things" in the mouth of the Wailing Mountain Ghost.

Although the Wailing Mountain Ghost doesn't show up much in the cultivation realm now, the people present with his name have more or less heard of it. What can make the weeping mountain ghosts who sit on the entire Nine Peach Mountain covet, is it some kind of strange treasure that has never been born?

At the same time, many monks had other thoughts in their hearts, but on the surface, they all obediently obeyed the orders of the city lord and obediently left the messy downtown on the ground.

The city lord's escort quickly dispersed the crowd and silently removed all kinds of decorations for the night.

What was supposed to be a good lantern festival has become like this, and the companions of the monks who were taken away are still waiting for Liu Yuansu to give an explanation.

When Liu Yuansu finally calmed people down, as soon as he returned home, he bumped into his younger brother who had been waiting for him for a long time.

"Big brother, I heard that there is some trouble in the downtown area." Liu Yuanzhen looked at his brother's tired face, and the words he wanted to say turned around in his throat and changed.

Liu Yuansu glanced at him, as if he wanted to tell something, but in the end he just said, "Don't worry, I'll solve this matter." You still stay at home these days and don't go out and run around. I'm afraid the weeping mountain ghost will have his eye on you. ”

Liu Yuan was secret: "Did anyone give you anything that day, what did that person give you?" If it's not important, why not give it to the Wailing Mountain Ghost? He had the lives of a dozen monks in his hands. ”

"You don't understand, it's not that simple. I'll take care of it, so you leave it alone. Liu Yuansu knew that his younger brother was concerned about him, but he couldn't tell his younger brother about the situation.

That thing is still in the Liu family for a day, and he can't let others take it. If he really handed over that bead, he and the Liu family would become sinners in the entire cultivation realm!

He walked away in silence, and Liu Yuanyan originally wanted to ask again, but shut up when he saw the eldest brother's frowning brow.

He didn't understand why the eldest brother always treated himself like a child and refused to tell him anything.

Liu Yuan, who was not happy in his heart after thinking about it, went out without looking back.

The housekeeper called him behind him: "Little master, where are you going, little young master." It's unstable outside, and the eldest young master said don't let you go out. ”

"Leave me alone, I'll go and relax myself."

Liu Yuanyan's figure quickly melted into the night, and the housekeeper looked at his back and let out a long sigh.

And where the butler and the porter didn't notice, the three figures quickly crossed the high wall of the Willow Mansion, and then quietly fell into the back garden of the Willow Mansion with the help of the hidden talisman.

At this moment, Xie Zhengliu and the three of them, who were nesting in the same tree, had already silently recorded the layout of the Liu family in their minds.

Zhuang Youqian shrank on a branch and sent a voice to Xie Zhengliu: "Are we really going to sneak into the Liu family?" I don't think Liu Yuansu looks like a bad person, so why don't you go directly to the door and make it clear? ”

"It's not so easy to tell if it's a bad guy, and besides, we're just a few little monks who have just built a foundation, and even if we come to the door, the other party won't agree to meet us." Yue Mingqiu immediately dispelled his unrealistic idea.

Xie Zhengliu didn't speak, because after she entered the Liufu Mansion, the two flags in the sea of knowledge were constantly trembling.

Tsk, it seems that she already knows what the Crying Mountain Ghost is asking for Liu Yuansu.

……

The team of Wailing Mountain Ghosts didn't go far before they stopped at the outskirts of the city, a hundred miles away from Yujing City.

And in what should have been a barren field, the mansion that was built at some point looked particularly strange in the night.

The door of the mansion had long been open for the Wailing Mountain Ghost, and it seemed that he had been waiting for him here for a long time.

The ghost of the Wailing Mountain got out of the sedan chair and walked straight to the courtyard of the house lit with two red lanterns, but the sedan chair bearer and a dozen wooden puppets behind him obediently stayed where they were, without the slightest intention of keeping up with their master.

As soon as he stepped into the courtyard door, a familiar voice sounded in his ears: "Why don't the Wailing Mountain Ghost bring other people in, my place here is spacious, and a few people can still accommodate it." ”

As the sound sounded, the whole courtyard lit up in an instant. At the round table not far away sat a man whose face was invisible, his face seemed to be covered by a thick fog, and even the Wailing Mountain Ghost could not see through the obstacle set by this man.

Listening to the man's polite invitation, the expression of the crying mountain ghost was much colder than when he faced Liu Yuansu before.

"You don't have to say these polite words to me, you know why I will help you, and I know that you took that promise away from others by means." The Crying Mountain Ghost never promises easily, and the only promise he made was given to a casual cultivator who had saved him.

But that was thousands of years ago, and the other party's talent is not high, so I'm afraid it has already fallen. And the man in front of him is obviously not his descendant.

So the only explanation is that the man gave the promise to the person in front of him.

"I'll help you get what you want in three days, and then I won't have anything to do with you anymore." The Wailing Mountain Ghost said resolutely.

He promised that he would stay on Nine Peach Mountain obediently, even if she had been dead for many years, even if her name was forgotten by the world, he would keep his original promise.
