Chapter 240: Evil
Early the next morning.
The Lord's Mansion of Fengyuan City is located in the center of the city, the origin of this city is relatively special, it was not originally a city belonging to the Dongyue Kingdom, but later returned to the Dongyue royal family.
Yunshan Danxia Gu Jianchen has become the city lord of Fengyuan City for more than 20 years, Gu Jianchen studied under the White Crane Sect, the White Crane Sect has always had only one descendant, each generation of the White Crane Sect descendants are called the White Crane Sword Immortals by the world, they are highly cultivated, help the weak, and act chivalrous and righteous, and have an excellent reputation in the eyes of the world.
And this generation has been passed down to Gu Jianchen as well, Gu Jianchen is talented and has a high level of understanding, and he has already made a name for himself as a Taoist in Yunshan in his early years, and later everyone knew that he was still a descendant of the White Crane Sect, so he was also called the White Crane Sword Immortal.
Later, after becoming the lord of a city in Dongyue Kingdom, he is still in the world, and appeared in Zhenjiang Mansion with Xianxia Cao Jing twenty years ago, the reason why Xianxia Cao Jing and the demon clans around Zhenjiang Mansion were able to make a non-aggression agreement is also a part of Gu Jianchen's work, or he has a deterrent in this, so that those demon clans dare not invade easily.
In general, Gu Jianchen has a high reputation in Dongyue Kingdom, no less than the high-level of some Xuanmen institutions, and has always been valued by the Dongyue royal family.
However, this time, he refused to take the initiative to hand over a remnant of the Demon Gate who had taken the blood of the Demon Dragon, which was something that the Dongyue royal family and even the high-level of many Xuanmen institutions did not expect.
Di Renjie and the other four came to the City Lord's Mansion, at this time the gate of the City Lord's Mansion was closed, this is not the case in normal times, the four of them noticed something strange, it seems that this Fengyuan City Lord Gu Jianchen has already received some news, and even the guards of the City Lord's Mansion have been temporarily dismissed.
"Let's go inside. Liuli said, and then she stepped through the door first.
Di Renjie and the others glanced at each other, and then went in together.
After stepping through the door, it was still quiet, but the sound of a baby's laughter could be heard in the distance, and everyone followed the baby's voice to a hall.
At this time, there were only three people in this hall, one was a baby laughing and playing on the ground, the other was a girl, playing with a child, and the last one was an elegant and handsome middle-aged man, with sword eyebrows and starry eyes, and his expression was bright.
The middle-aged man drank tea freely, watching the child and the girl playing, with a smile on his face, and after seeing Di Renjie and others coming, he was not too surprised, as if he had expected it.
"Come, sit here. The middle-aged man pointed to the seat next to him and motioned to Di Renjie and the others, his expression was very calm.
Liuli and the others were still a little puzzled, but Di Renjie took the lead in sitting up, and at this time, the baby who was playing happened to be next to Di Renjie, and curiously pulled Di Renjie's calf, who just smiled slightly.
But in fact, the four of them all understood that this baby should be the baby that the Divine Mansion asked them to beg, but now they don't know whether the other party wants to take the initiative to hand it over or what.
At this time, Liuli and the others also sat up, the atmosphere seemed a little quiet, only the laughter of babies and girls, and the middle-aged man drank tea by himself, and he didn't look like he wanted to pour tea for Di Renjie and others.
After a while, the middle-aged man spoke: "I am Gu Jianchen, the city lord of Fengyuan City, please come all the way." ”
When Di Renjie and the others heard this, Liuli took the lead in answering: "Where the responsibility lies." ”
The middle-aged man nodded, "What is the concept of the Divine Mansion?"
The four of them glanced at each other, and Liuli said: "There is nothing to hide evil." ”。
The middle-aged man nodded again: "That's right, there is nothing to hide." This is the concept of the Divine Mansion established by the person who established the Divine Mansion, and it has been many, many years have passed, and the people in the Divine Mansion have always followed it, and there are not a few people who throw their heads and spill their blood, which is also rare. Still, I want to ask the four of you, what is evil?"
Everyone was stunned, not knowing why the middle-aged man asked this sentence, and they didn't answer at all.
