In the far north of Meicheng is the Plum Garden, which is famous as the Celestial Star Empire. It's just that the sun is shining today, and I'm afraid I won't be able to see the wonder of snow in the plum garden.

Su Ling and his entourage of five people followed Zhu Chengzhi closely, all the way north and further north, flying in the air for about ten minutes, and finally stopped in front of the plum garden.

The plum garden is poetic, but it is just a place where countless plums have been planted, and as for the word of mouth, or the snow in the daytime and the rainbow recorded in the book, whether it is true or false, if you don't see it with your own eyes, it is really hard to be convinced.

There is a huge stone in front of the gate of the plum garden, the stone is cone-shaped, and the middle part is carved with the eye-catching word plum garden, the red paint is splashed, and the font is vigorous and powerful. Through the mountain gate, you can see the wandering tourists inside, as well as countless plum trees.

Su Ling still had the heart to enjoy the scenery of the Plum Garden at this time, looked at Zhu Chengzhi suspiciously, and asked, "I don't know what Gang Master Zhu meant by bringing us here?"

"Don't worry, come with me," Zhu Chengzhi said, his face was serious.

I saw Zhu Chengzhi lightly knock on the stone tablet carved with the plum garden, and after about two seconds, he increased the force and struck again.

When Su Ling and the others were surprised, they saw Zhu Chengzhi continue to tap lightly on the stone, his fingers colliding with the stone, making a clattering sound, that kind of peculiar frequency, as if he was playing music.

The four of them were so anxious that they didn't know what the hell he was doing, and they couldn't wait to go up and smash the stone.

Zhu Chengzhi noticed the expressions of several people, turned around and signaled a few people to be calm, and kept moving his hands, continuing to hit the stone at that special frequency.

About three minutes passed, Zhu Chengzhi's mysterious behavior finally responded, only to see that the big stone actually opened slowly, Zhu Chengzhi looked back and saw that there was no one around, flashed into the stone, disappeared, the four of them hurriedly followed, and the stone door behind him slowly closed again.

The stone is pitch black, in strong contrast with the clear day outside, in the darkness where you can't see your fingers, a few people can clearly feel walking on a section of down the steps, so that after walking for about ten seconds, several people's eyes slowly adapt to this darkness, and they can vaguely see the uneven stone walls around them, as if they have just been excavated.

Several people pressed the doubts in their hearts, and as Zhu Chengzhi walked all the way, they finally reached the end of a corner, and the corner used to be a corridor, and the end of the corridor was faintly shining.

It turned out to be a small room covering an area of about ten square meters, with simple facilities, a bed, a desk, messy paper on the floor, and the walls were inlaid with light beads for lighting.

Zhu Chengzhi tiptoed over the papers, and touched a small lamp next to the desk with both hands, and the lamp suddenly lit up, illuminating the entire small room as if it were day.

"Zhu Chengzhi, what kind of place is this, why have I never heard you mention it?" The city lord was the first to speak, and the blame in his tone was undisguised.

"Two years ago, at the gate of the plum garden, I saw an old man in rags, and the old man was accompanied by a boy, who was only eleven or twelve years old. Zhu Chengzhi said.

"What does this have to do with Gongzi Li?" Uncle Liu couldn't help but ask.

"Listen to me carefully," Zhu Chengzhi clasped his hands on his shoulders and stood against the wall, "Later, I met the old man, and I realized that the old man was studying things about cultivation talents, and talents are mysterious and unpredictable, but the old man can study a trick, he asked me to provide him with food and drink, and he handed over the research results to me." I thought to myself that it would cost me a few dollars to eat and drink, and if I really let him research something good, I wouldn't be able to make a windfall from it, so I agreed to him. ”

"The old man gave me a drawing, and asked me to build him a house under this plum garden, no matter how big or small, as long as he could live in it, I was very strange, and asked him to go with me to the wolf to help him, who knew that he refused me, and he wanted to live under this plum garden, and people who have the ability are always a little strange tempered, I promised him, and built such a place for him according to his drawings. ”

"That old man is just a seven-fold cultivation of Longteng, I thought that there was something to settle him, and I didn't think much about it, I could help him, who knew that three months later he really handed me a report, saying that it was possible to upgrade the four-color talent to five-colored, I took a closer look, except that the method was too bloody, it seemed that there was really a little possibility of realization. ”

"What about the report?" Uncle Liu interrupted.

"In my house, tsk, I haven't tried it until now," Zhu Chengzhi sighed, "The basic condition is the blood of a child born in ten hours, which is to be killed." ”

"Why don't you expose him to me?" said the lord angrily.

"One is that I feel that the situation is under my control, and the other is curious, this crooked way, to see what tricks he can play. Zhu Chengzhi said, "Who knew that in the next year or so, the research results he handed over would repeat the principle of the balance of heaven and earth again and again, that is, to sacrifice others to achieve one's own body." ”

"What do you mean?" Bai Ziyang frowned.

"For example, if you want to be promoted to the eightfold talent, you need the life of a ninefold talent child, according to him, you have to leave a part of the sacrifice heaven and earth, so that heaven and earth can recognize it, and the talent can be promoted. Zhu Chengzhi said, "Later, he proposed again and again that he wanted children to experiment, but I thought this method was too bloody, so I never agreed to him." ”

Su Ling frowned and looked at Zhu Chengzhi.

"Hey, kid, what do you mean by those eyes?" Zhu Chengzhi looked angry like a wronged person, "Although I, Zhu Chengzhi, am a wicked person, I also know the truth that if people don't offend me, I won't offend people, and I don't care about children and women." ”

"Why don't you report this kind of person? If he really succeeds, how many children in the world will suffer?" Bai Ziyang said, "You are also breaking the law by shielding him." ”

"I felt like I was in control of everything and I didn't think it would be the way it is today. Zhu Chengzhi was annoyed.

"So Li Qi was arrested by him?" Fang Ling said.

"That's not right!" Su Ling spoke, looking at Zhu Chengzhi's eyes full of suspicion, "You said that old man is just a Dragon Teng Seven-fold cultivator, why can he blatantly take Li Qi away in broad daylight?"

"That Li Gongzi is just Xingyao Sixfold Cultivation, right?" Now it was Zhu Chengzhi's turn to wonder, "Isn't Dragon Teng's Sevenfold Enough?"

"Not enough! Far from enough!" Su Ling said, "Either he has a means you don't know about, or you are lying!"

"Also, the old man's child should be thirteen or fourteen years old now, has he been living under this ground with the old man for the past two years?

"How do I know this!" Zhu Chengzhi was suffocated by Su Ling's aggressive gaze, "I tell you, don't think about doubting me! That will only make you waste time and miss the best time to find Li Gongzi, I will tell you one thing at the end, the old man has been saying that the plum garden has signs of gathering heaven and earth, and the so-called talent promotion is best carried out in the plum garden." ”
