Under the cover of night.

The Barren City seemed to have just regained its original form.

Under the light of the stars, the whole city took on a hideous and terrifying appearance, like a dormant beast, overlooking the cliffs in the north.

In the mist of the cliffs, where no one could see, there was a conversation.

"How many of them are gone?"

"If you return to the Immortal Master, a few yellow-haired boys have already been imprisoned in the city by me!"

"Hmph, if you don't get rid of Chang Xing, I'm afraid of disaster, so that your people pay close attention to those ants, so as not to be rescued by Chang Xing, a strong man in the Cave Heaven Realm (Emperor Realm), even if it is a child, it is a little tricky. ”

At this time, a young voice came out.

"Who did they bring with them?

"No, it's just three young people, except for being good-looking, there's nothing special about it!"

"Well, has the Ghost Fire Saint Lan been brought back by Chang Xing?" the young man's voice continued.

"No, it seems that they have seen through it, and they even know that the ghost orchid is poison. ”

"There is some trouble, if you want to enter the bottom of this deep cliff, you need a thing on the body of the entire city lord of the barren city, Chang Feiluan is immortal, I'm afraid there is no chance. The young voice said.

"Childe, if I attack directly, I should be fifty percent sure!"

"No, there is a chance to kill him, but once he activates the Great Array of Barren City, trouble will follow, and now I am not the only one here, there are also two groups of disciples of the Holy Land Clan on the way to come. The young man's voice was a little solemn, "By the way, you said that those three young people came out of the depths of the mountain range?"

"Yes, they were all brought back from the forest by Chang Xing, and they seemed to be sure to treat Chang Feiluan. ”

The young man sneered, "Treat Chang Feiluan, they don't have a chance, our people should have already done it, as long as they can take Chang Feiluan's daughter and force Chang Feiluan to death, even if it is a miracle doctor, don't think that they can save Chang Feiluan." ”

"That son, should I go up and have a look, lest anything happen?"

The young man said, "Go ahead, I'll see what kind of prohibition here, what kind of existence is laid down, the power of the ancient era?"

The sound gradually dissipated in the fog, and there was a sound of 'poo' and 'poo' in the air.

It's the flowers that are blooming.

Chang Feiluan's room in the City Lord's Mansion was brightly lit, Chang Feiluan sat at the desk, looking at a scroll of books, coughing a few times from time to time, his face was ugly, and he was obviously terminally ill.

The old man in the Taoist robe walked into the city lord's mansion, and only said that the guards in the palace wanted to see the city lord, and the guards bowed down and left to report.

The old man in the Taoist robe waited in the main hall of the City Lord's Mansion, looking at the empty hall, a disdainful smile on the corner of his mouth.

"The immortal master is not resting at this time, he is still working for my tiny body, this seat is uneasy!" Chang Feiluan walked into the main hall quickly, holding the hand of the old man in the Taoist robe and smiling embarrassedly.

The old man in the Taoist robe smiled bitterly, "Where is the city lord, didn't I also rely on the relationship of friends in the rivers and lakes before? I want to invite the master to come and see a doctor for the city lord, but it's a pity that ......."

Chang Feiluan heard the sigh of the old man in the Taoist robe, and smiled disapprerovingly, "Immortal Master, why is this a problem? ”

The old man in the robe sighed, "It's also strange that the old man is meager, I rarely sent superstitions before, asking why no one has come for a long time." ”

"Just now, I received the news, my friend reprimanded me fiercely in the letter, saying that those immortals on the mountain, the dragon can not see the end, even the immortal masters who are one level higher than him are difficult to see, he can deliver the news, and finally let people help find it, it is already a lucky thing, don't get an inch!"

"If you annoy those masters, I'm afraid it's a good thing and a bad thing!"

Chang Feiluan was full of sorrow, sat on the chair slowly, covered his mouth and coughed softly, after taking a look, he hurriedly put his hand behind him, looked at the old man in the robe, and said with a smile, "It's okay, forget it if no one comes." ”

"Immortal Master, you have been walking the rivers and lakes for many years, and you know some strange things, what do you think is going on in the city recently?"

"Recently, due to my lack of mental strength in the city, strange things have happened one after another, and several elders have not come up with an exceptional plan, if it goes on like this, my barren city is probably panicked, if I don't show up again, I am afraid that there will be a big chaos, what should the immortal master do?

"I also know that those family members are bent on the Tao, and it is difficult to find them for thousands of miles, and they are worried that good things will become bad things, and they can't rush them!"

The old man in the Taoist robe said solemnly, "The city lord is right, those mountain immortals, the temperament can not be guessed, we can only wait quietly now, the old man will find a way to help the city lord try to stabilize his injuries." ”

Chang Feiluan nodded, sighed, put his hands together, and said softly, "Now it can only be like this, but unfortunately I don't know how long it can be delayed, I can drag it, but I can't afford to drag it out of the thousands of people in this barren city." ”

"If it weren't for that, where would I let the Immortal Master take the initiative to find friends in the rivers and lakes to help?"

"Originally, I thought that if I was lucky enough to get that Ghost Fire Holy Orchid, and the dead horse would be used as a live horse doctor, as long as I could recover from my injuries, I would be able to stabilize the current situation. ”

"No matter how bad it is, it's worth it to scatter my wealth in the Barren City and help me get through the difficulties. ”

The old man in the Dao robe hesitated for a moment, then said after consideration, "City Lord, I heard that the Third Elder brought a few sons before, maybe they can solve the City Lord's current predicament?"

Chang Feiluan sneered, "Immortal Master, do you believe this? ”

The old man in the Dao robe had a twinkle in his eyes, and he continued to count, "The city lord didn't think about it, although they are not very old, they are very likely to be disciples who came out of a certain immortal mansion to practice, and this time they came out to travel the rivers and lakes?"

Chang Xing walked in at this time, looked at the two of them and saluted slightly, "Sir!

Chang Xing thought for a moment and said, "Sir, I think the same way, on the way here, I have carefully observed their breathing and footsteps. ”

"Most of the two sons dressed in white and black are subordinates, they have always been following behind the Xia Gongzi in the dark ink clothes, and the Xia Gongzi is not a mortal person at first glance, and his temperament is simply excellent!"

Chang Xing groaned, looked at Chang Feiluan and said, "If you say something unpleasant, even Mr. is not as good!"

Chang Feiluan scolded with a smile, "It's really unpleasant, it's difficult for Yuan'er to keep bothering, and her feelings are in love with others, and this vision is worthy of her mother's daughter." ”

The old man in the Taoist robe moved slightly, his eyes kept circling on Chang Feiluan and Chang Xing, and said with a smile, "The old man has been walking in the rivers and lakes for many years, and he has only seen a few people like the third elder, and most of the people who can have this atmosphere are the heirs of the immortal family's mansion." ”

The old man in the Taoist robe seemed to be reminded of a few memories, and when the conversation box was opened, it poured out like a torrent.

Chang Feiluan and Chang Xing glanced at each other, and the old man said a long sigh, sometimes full of energy.

It's a pity that Chang Xing is a little gloomy, and he has a lot of sentimentality in his heart.

He has also walked through the rivers and lakes, so big, there are many sects, there are many sects, good and evil are fighting, life and death are more commonplace, and honor and disgrace have long been forgotten.

The capital is the son and daughter of the rivers and lakes, and the righteous word comes first, but in the end, it is just an empty dream.

These people are just small puddles in the eyes of some big people.

If you want to step over, it's just between those big people raising their feet and stepping, if they are too lazy to lift their feet, and when they fall down, they will splash in all directions, and the waves will be stormy, and all living beings will be like ants, nothing more than this.

Chang Feiluan could hear it, and invisibly, his depressed mood seemed to be a little less, and he joked, "The immortal master doesn't know anything, and the three elders were also from the rivers and lakes. ”

Chang Xing laughed at himself, "Mr. is laughing at me again, talking about these things, those are all in the past, besides, I have never been out for a day and a half in my life, and the Mr. in gray who made the whole dynasty tremble with one kick is the real hero." ”

"He's like you, sir, the power of God covers the dome, I've read a lot of books in my life, but ..... I can't learn the things in the book, so I can share a little pressure under my husband's door, strive to live longer, and I can see that the young lady finds a wishful husband and gets married, and there are no regrets in this life. ”

"I've been thinking for a long time, Immortal Master, can those mountain immortals really be able to attain immortality?"

The old man in the Taoist robe looked at him and shook his head slightly, "Maybe!"

Perhaps, he probably won't have a chance in this life, how difficult it is to preach.

Chang Feiluan smiled and said, "How difficult it is to live forever, if you want to know, why don't you ask the sons you brought back, maybe they know?"

Chang Xing raised his head and smiled bitterly, "They are all in prison!"

"When did this happen? Why didn't this seat know, wasn't it the mansion you arranged? How could you be sent to prison?" Chang Feiluan asked suspiciously.

Chang Xing looked at the two people who were puzzled, and his face was a little ugly, "The Great Elder said that they had bad intentions to prevent you from recovering from your injuries, sir, so ...... That's it!"

Chang Feiluan was stunned and asked, "Those sons have been hurt, you hurry up and bring them to see this seat, since they know the properties of that treasure medicine, maybe they can cure my injuries?"

"I originally thought the same way, and planned to let a few sons come tomorrow to take a look, but I never thought that when the Great Elder learned the news, he sent them to prison, saying that they were most likely monsters. Chang Xing said.

In prison, Yin sat on the hay and slept casually, oblivious to everything around him.

Although it was a prison, it was also very quiet, there were not too many prisoners in it, and the walls of the cells were covered with moss.

Tianyang leaned against the wall, quietly looking at the dark environment around him, and he didn't care at all, not worrying at all that his clothes would be dirty by moss.

Although the three of them came in on purpose, the bite was real, which made Xia Ziyu a little uncomfortable.

Xia Ziyu sat cross-legged on the grass, silently calculating the time in his heart, and did not complain about the environment in this prison, since he wanted to lure the snake out of the hole, he naturally wanted to come in and take a look, calculate the time, and now it is almost the same.

Xia Ziyu got up and looked out of the cell, the footsteps came from far and near, and there were many people coming.

Sure enough, after a few breaths, several figures appeared outside the door of their cell.

The red-faced old man Zhou Heng came with a few disciples, his eyes were full of murderous intent, obviously the person who came was not good, among them, the young man who was blasted out before was also among them, a face was extremely hideous, and the pupils were vicious and bloodthirsty.

Xia Ziyu looked at a few people indifferently, walked to the door of the cell, and looked at Zhou Hengdao, "Old man, this is to find out our identities and want to let us out?"

"Prisoner of the stairs, still delusional about going out, I see if you are all sick in the brain, you calculated me before, now I will double it back to you, let you know what despair is!" the young man roared, his face contorted.

Xia Ziyu glanced at the hideous-looking young man, and sneered, "Calculate you, what do you have to do with me to calculate, your injury is completely your own doing, I reminded you earlier, don't touch me." ”

After that, Xia Ziyu looked at Zhou Heng and smiled, "Old man, can the three of us go out?"

"If you want to go out, it's okay. Zhou Heng smiled meaningfully.

Zhou Heng's fingertips shot out a ray of light and landed on the door lock, and with a click, the door lock broke.

Xia Ziyu looked at the broken lock of the cell door, and sneered, "It seems that this old gentleman is not here to let him go, but to see him off, let's talk about why"

Zhou Heng, who was broken by Xia Ziyu's words, was not angry, but just smiled disdainfully, "Since you understand, then please go on the road, if you want to blame, blame you for being nosy!"

Zhou Heng's eyes were completely cold, and the mana of his hands surged, shining brightly, "Why do you want to tell Chang Xing that the ghost orchid is the most poisonous thing, he should have died in the mountains, or bring back the ghost orchid and kill Chang Feiluan, because you are nosy, and the old man's plan to harm him has failed, do you think you should die?"

"Oh, so that's the case!" Xia Ziyu said indifferently, "Since you said it, then you can die!"

As soon as the words fell, Xia Ziyu's figure had already appeared outside the cell, and a few faint sword rays swept past the necks of several disciples.

A pop sounded.

After half a ring, Zhou Heng and the young man slowly turned their heads to look at their gods, blood was flowing on the damp ground, and the pupils of the few disciples who fell to the ground stared, they didn't know how they died at all.

The young man beside Zhou Shi didn't know where he got the courage, he stabbed Xia Ziyu's heart with a long sword in his hand, and roared, "Die!"

Xia Ziyu pointed out, leaned against the tip of the sword, and muttered, "Why don't you listen to advice?"

Click!

A piercing sound sounded, and the long sword in the young man's hand exploded in response, and then the entire arm turned into a mist of blood, exploding into the air.

"Ah......h

Wails resounded throughout the prison, and the prisoners in the prison leaned close to the aisle to watch the scene, holding heavy iron chains.

Zhou Heng was awakened by the howl, the fine cold sweat on his forehead came out like rain, his face was extremely pale, and his body kept trembling.

Tianyang and Yin were like ghosts in his eyes, quietly appearing behind Xia Ziyu, looking at the wailing youth, Yin Yin said indifferently, "It's noisy!"

Bang!

The young man's skull burst open like a watermelon, and blood splattered on Zhou Heng's clothes and burst onto Zhou Heng's face.

The warm blood made Zhou Heng's body agitated, looked at Xia Ziyu and the three of them, and shouted in horror, "You... Who are you?"

Xia Ziyu chuckled, "It's just an ordinary person, Great Elder, shouldn't you tell us who you are?"

"You... You... Knowing my identity, why do you still ask who I am?" Zhou Heng said in a trembling voice, constantly retreating, until there was no way to retreat, and there was already a wall behind him.

Xia Ziyu sneered when he heard this, "I don't know what you're planning, but you should know it yourself, or the person behind you?"

"Why should I tell you, you have the ability to kill me, kill me, and you won't be able to get out of the barren city!" Zhou Heng plucked up his courage and roared fiercely.

"If you kill you, you won't be able to get out of the Deserted City, how naïve are you?" Xia Ziyu sneered.

A ray of purple gold light shot into Zhou Heng's body, and Xia Ziyu said indifferently, "You don't have to say it, this wisp of breath will make you taste what life is worse than death, it will shatter all your internal organs until it breaks out!"

Zhou Heng stabilized his mind and shouted, "Dream, the yellow-haired boy also wants to kill me, go die!"

Zhou Heng seemed to have just reacted, he was a powerhouse in the Upper Five Realms, how could these people in front of him be his opponents at a young age.

Above his body, a flash of light appeared, his mana surged, and he slapped his palm towards Xia Ziyu.

Xia Ziyu shook her head slightly and said, "If you could have reacted before, maybe there would have been a little chance, but now, it's too late." ”

When the words fell, Zhou Heng's palm stopped on Xia Ziyu's forehead, his face distorted, and he fell to the ground with a pop, churning in a pool of blood, and roared in pain, "Bastard, what did you do to me?"

"Actually, it's nothing, it's just a wisp of sword energy. Xia Ziyu squatted down indifferently and looked down at Zhou Heng, "Now, to say or not to say?"

After waiting for a few breaths, Xia Ziyu got up and walked towards the exit of the prison, leaving Zhou Heng alone to roll in a pool of blood.

"I said, I said, I said, yes......," Zhou Tong yelled.

Xia Ziyu turned around when he heard this, but he only saw the blood mist that burst out, and Zhou Heng's bones were gone.

Xia Ziyu's eyes moved slightly, and he sneered, "It seems that the origin is not small, the divine soul is forbidden, I'm afraid even Zhou Heng himself doesn't know it." ”

Xia Ziyu glanced at it, then didn't stop any longer, walked out of the prison, looked at the starry sky, and muttered, "Things are really getting more and more interesting." ”

Xia Ziyu turned his head to look at an attic somewhere in the city, and nodded at the attic in the distance, on the ridge of an attic in the city, a figure gasped for breath, and left the roof in a few bounces.

ran to report to the master, and his whereabouts were easily detected, indicating that those teenagers were extraordinary, and if they continued to follow, it was very likely that they would lose their lives, so it was better to go back and tell the master first.

Tianyang smiled, "I never thought that such an interesting thing would happen in a small city." ”

Xia Ziyu didn't care, and said casually, "I don't bother to deal with any interesting things, I just want to see if I can find clues about the bottom of the cliff, as long as I don't like those few who don't know whether to live or die, don't calculate me, no matter how they make trouble, I don't bother to care." ”

Xia Ziyu returned to the mansion with Tianyang and Yin, Xia Ziyu looked at the dark clouds that were getting thicker in the sky, obviously the mountain rain was coming.

The wind was already blowing in the courtyard.

Xia Ziyu sat alone under the peach tree, looking at the flowers that were blooming on it, which were so dazzling under the gradually dim starlight, like a newborn baby.

Tianyang didn't know what to do in the flower garden, so it took a long time to come out of the flower bed with a spoon in his hand.

He looked at the shadow and smiled, "Bring some tea from the flower dew?"

The dark yin gave him a cold look, "Boring!"

Tianyang was not happy, walked over, looked at the dark yin and said, "I'm your brother, can you be respectful, have a better attitude, beware of me beating you?"

"Cut, it's not certain who beats whom?"

Xia Ziyu turned her head to look at the two of them, and shook her head helplessly, getting used to it.

Xia Ziyu suddenly remembered something, he always felt that this city was a little weird, heavy and solemn at the same time, it was full of evil aura.

Suddenly, he saw Tianyang sprinkle the flower dew he had taken on the ground, and wondered, "Uncle, you picked it for two hours, and you sprinkled it like this?"

Tianyang said angrily, "I didn't check the breath of this city before, but now I know that it's good that I didn't drink it in my stomach, otherwise I guess I would have to vomit out bile." ”

Xia Ziyu looked at the flower dew on the ground, her eyes condensed slightly, "Evil spirit!"

Yin Yin pouted, "This city is obviously a trick for people, and at night, this place is filled with a faint evil aura, so that everything here is slowly eroded, even the air. ”

"This kind of water, let alone mortals, even if the monks continue like this for a long time, over time, the evil qi will erode them, making them brutal and murderous. ”

"I think when I come into the city, there must be strange things, there are often monks who die inexplicably, and the city lord is sick, so no one knows what is going on, and in the long run, the monks in the city must be panicked. ”

Xia Ziyu frowned, "It turns out that my feeling is not wrong. ”

Tianyang looked at Xia Ziyu and said, "Don't care, I can't even make tea!"

Xia Ziyu glanced at him, "Not to mention the grievances of all parties in this city, I don't even know where the people behind the scenes are now, are they helping or harming people?"

Tianyang teased, "Yin Yin, if the young master doesn't help, what about you?

"Get out, I don't have a knife!" Yin Yin said angrily, kicking at Tianyang, but Tianyang turned around and dodged it.

Xia Ziyu looked at it and smiled.

He began to sit in the courtyard of the house and meditate and fall asleep.

Tianyang sat on the steps and looked up at the dark clouds that gradually covered the sky above the city, "Little Lord, it's going to rain!"

Xia Ziyu ignored it, the wind was whistling in his ears, and the rain in March fell on Xia Ziyu's shoulders as promised.

Gradually, tick-tock, water began to drip on the eaves of the house, in the city, between heaven and earth.

As far as the eye can see, the sky is full of smoke and rain rising in the night.

Xia Ziyu let the rain fall on his body, and gradually, he seemed to be one with the rain, one with heaven and earth.

Let him indulge.

He seems to be swimming in the sea, and as if he is in the sky between heaven and earth, feeling the constant change, and his body exudes a little purple and gold light in the rainy night, as if the void is real.

In order to avoid the rain, Tianyang moved the chair under the eaves, although it was a spring breeze and spring rain, but it made people feel like winter rain, a little chilly.

His gaze kept falling on Xia Ziyu's illusory figure, and he murmured, "Rain is the beginning of all things, heaven and earth are intertwined, yin and yang are combined, all-encompassing, and omnipresent. ”

Xia Ziyu moved when he heard this, and phantoms of glittering light appeared on his body, constantly gathering and dispersing in the rain curtain.

"Divine soul, it seems to be different from the previous one?" Xia Ziyu said secretly in her heart.

Xia Ziyu thought about it for a while, but couldn't think of a reason, the time that the phantom could exist became longer and longer, until the sky was white, and he slowly woke up.

Between heaven and earth, the smoke and rain are still the same, and the light rain on the spring street is nothing more than that.

As the day dawned, the air seemed to be washed away by the rain.

Xia Ziyu got up, only to find out that in fact, his clothes were not wet by the rain at all, and his clothes fluttered in the rain.

The smoke and rain of black ink set off that dreamlike face.

Tianyang faintly, as if he saw the one they had followed.

Xia Ziyu walked under the eaves, looked at Tianyang and smiled, and then looked at the underworld, as if he had fallen asleep and had not woken up yet.

After a while, he vaguely heard the laughter of children chasing and playing in the alleys outside the mansion, and then he heard the laughter and scolding of Mrs. You, urging his children to hurry home, not to be wet by the rain and cold.

Xia Ziyu sat quietly on the rocking chair, looking at the March smoke and rain that she didn't know when it would stop, and she was indifferent to the outside.

Until, a series of dull coughing sounds sounded outside, like an old man, like a dying person.

Xia Ziyu got up, crossed the rain curtain, walked to the gate of the mansion, and after opening the door, it was empty, at this moment, he seemed to see that in the north of the city, it was not rain, but the blood like a torrential rain, which infected the heavens and the earth red.

In the blink of an eye, it was back to its original state, except for the water vapor in the alleys, nothing else was unusual.

As for the cough that was right in front of the door before, there was not the slightest figure in sight.

Xia Ziyu turned around and was about to walk into the mansion, suddenly, he felt a little awkward on the soles of his feet, he moved the soles of his feet away, and saw a black stone appear in his eyes.

He was slightly curious, he remembered that there had never been such stones around this mansion, even ordinary stones were extremely rare.

After Xia Ziyu picked it up, he walked into the mansion and closed the door.

He sat on the chair and looked at the stone in his hand, and he didn't notice the slightest abnormality for a while, Tianyang glanced at it, and lost interest.

Knock knock!

There was a sharp knock on the door of the mansion.

Xia Ziyu was about to get up, and then sat down again, but the moment he got up, the knock on the door stopped abruptly.

There was nothing in the mind.

Knock knock!

An illusory figure appeared in Xia Ziyu's thoughts, and he couldn't see his face clearly.

The corners of his mouth lifted slightly, and the door of the mansion opened with a bang.

However, when he entered his eyes, there was no such figure, and he was missing from his thoughts.

One after another, three times and twice, Xia Ziyu simply ignored it and began to observe the stones in his hand.

The sky is getting brighter, the smoke and rain are still continuing, and the continuous drizzle has a tendency to gradually increase.

There was another sound at the door of the mansion, and the fingers scratched the door, and it was terrifying.

Xia Ziyu sighed, "It's so annoying!"

The stone in his hand was ready to be blasted out, and his fingertips shone brightly, like a round of scorching sun tearing through the dark clouds in the sky.

Styx Yin suddenly spoke, "Hurry up and put it away, maybe you can use it in the future." ”

Xia Ziyu glanced back at the dark yin with his eyes closed, put away the stone, and with a thought, the door of the mansion suddenly opened.

Xia Ziyu's figure shot out like a sword, and an illusory figure was pierced by divine light.

He stood in front of the gate of the mansion and sneered, "Pretend to be a ghost!"

Tianyang and Yin appeared behind him at the same time, picking up the other two pitch-black stones on the ground, Tianyang looked at Xia Ziyu and said, "Little master, it seems that someone has come to find it!"

Xia Ziyu ignored it and walked straight into the rain curtain, the alley that was originally empty, but whispered and drifted around.

Xia Ziyu waved her hand slightly, and the sound in her ears dissipated.

"It seems that some people can't wait, who will it be?" Xia Ziyu's mouth raised slightly.

The divine thought covered the entire city in an instant, "I found you!"

The figures of the three disappeared into the rain curtain and appeared on the cliff north of the city, and at a glance, they found that there were two people, an old man and a young man, standing on the edge of the cliff.

They were all gray and hazy, and the young man grinned at Xia Ziyu and smiled silently.

It seems to be saying.

You're finally here!
