The road to the three-storey attic.

Jiang Feng noticed that the entire courtyard had been emptied, and most of the monks seemed to have left. The woman in yellow took Jiang Feng to the attic called "Zhiqiu", and immediately left, and soon, several people came to the attic one after another, old and young, most of them looked at the vultures, and they looked very difficult to mess with.

The eight people were relatively speechless, and they didn't know each other before, so they each found a suitable place to sit down, and there was a good cup of tea, but no one moved, until the sound of going upstairs was heard again.

The person who came was a middle-aged man dressed like a noble son, with a fair complexion, but not the weak and feminine kind of little white face, nor greasy, with the breath of a superior person in his gestures. Behind him was the woman in yellow who had led the way before, as well as two followers at the Qi training level.

"I am Gongsun Changhong. The noble prince sat down directly on the main seat, stretched out his hand and motioned for everyone to sit down as well, he looked left and right, and continued,

"To make a long story short, the purpose of my invitation to come, I think you have already known that I am bound to win the position of city lord. But the reason why you are here is that there is a private matter that I want everyone to do, and the reward is quite generous, ten second-order spirit stones. ”

Spirit Stone, Why is it a Spirit Stone and not a Gold Coin? Jiang Feng was secretly vigilant.

"You all have one thing in common," Gongsun Changhong said, "They are all demon cultivators, I don't mean anything else, the main thing is that this matter is not suitable for my clan monks." ”

The next group of demon cultivators all showed puzzled eyes, everyone was wearing a spar bracelet before, unless the law is special, otherwise it is impossible to detect the identity of others, it seems that when this bracelet was obtained, it has been locked by someone with a heart.

In this case, as meat on the chopping board, it can only be slaughtered for the time being, and it is unrealistic to go, and last night's test has been a lesson from the past. If you let a group of demon cultivators do a private matter, then the remaining thirty people, as well as the two Zhuji who appeared last night, what are they going to do, with their own understanding of the competition, most of them are going to compete with the little boy's Baisha Gang.

............

In the backyard of the City Lord's Mansion, a richly dressed woman was sitting on a gazebo, enjoying the afternoon. The maid had long since retreated, and behind her were only two equally well-dressed men.

"Mother, everything is ready, my people have all been sent to Baiwangpo outside the city, and they have made an appointment to fight it there. One of the younger men said.

"Don't be sloppy," the woman said, "Are all the elders of the White Sands Gang reliable?"

"Rest assured, I've promised them a lot of benefits. And they themselves are in favor of the second brother being the lord of the city, and they are wavering, I have already detained their families, but I have a big gap in funds, and I don't know if my mother can ......."

"Things are doing well, but I don't have any money to spare here, and I have big things to do. In addition, I have already asked your second brother to find the two brothers Zuo Capture Tiger and Zuo Capture Leopard to come over and suppress the formation. ”

"What, second brother, why didn't you tell me?" The man looked at the older man behind him, obviously his mother had rejected his request for funds, and the distrustful attitude, and even the second brother's concealment, made him very angry.

"Fourth brother," the older man said, "it was my mother who didn't let me say it, although these two people are thirsty for killing, but they are quite strong in battle, and there are not many who can reach the strength of Jindan in casual cultivation, and are willing to use it for us." Although it is not in line with the rules to invite Brother Jindan, but last night it was the eldest brother who broke the rules first and found Zhao Ruyi to come over, and your Jinsha Gang elder Li Dakui was killed, right?

"Hmph," the man turned his head, unwilling, Li Dakui was his diehard, and the gang secretly called him Li Dagou, which showed his loyalty. It's a pity to die, and in order to appease Li Dakui's subordinates and family, it will cost a lot of money.

"Don't quarrel, they're all brothers, what's the pity of sacrificing an outsider. At this point, your big brother of the is much smarter, and he has found a bunch of loose cultivators who have no hands and tails, and he doesn't have to lose money when he dies. ”

The woman spoke, "I asked your second brother to find the two Zuo Baohu brothers, one is afraid that the lowly breed will find Brother Jindan, and you won't be able to deal with it, and the other is also afraid that your Baisha Gang elder will not be able to get off the killer if he steps on two boats." Changxiu, don't hide it, show the letter to your brother. ”

A dozen letters that were originally sealed with vermilion lacquer were thrown on the indigo stone table, and the young man seemed to be a little unconvinced, and opened them one by one, and found that they were all in the handwriting of the elders of the Baisha Gang, although they were not named, and there was no trace of who they were written to, but judging from the content of the letters, it was obviously a bunch of votes of integrity, and his heart suddenly burned with anger, and he got up and was about to go out, but he was pulled.

"Changxiu, persuade your brother, you hurry over and keep an eye on the dot yourself. If that cheap species is a shrunken turtle, the two brothers of the left tiger should not come forward, these two people are too murderous, and I am afraid that our big things will be ruined. Even if he appears, don't kill him, otherwise we won't be able to explain to the two old guys of Gongsun Sheng. ”

A quarter of an hour later.

The woman retreated left and right, and entered the Qingping Pavilion alone, which is the place where the couple lived, and the Gongsun He word Qingping was the origin of the name of this pavilion. As the orthodox wife of the city lord, the new city lord confirmed that the previous ruler - this is protected by the patriarchy, but not for more than a month - after Gongsun He's body disappeared, many people cast strange eyes on her own city lord's wife, for this reason, she simply lived in seclusion and rarely left this courtyard, including refusing many visits from Gongsun He's former friends, quickly and low-key buried Gongsun He in the Gongsun family cemetery, and politely refused many people to go to pay respects.

This is not without reason.

Took out a crimson orb from his sleeve, the orb was surrounded by four second-order fire spirit stones, and the dim color on the spirit stone indicated that more than half of the spiritual power in it had been consumed, but fortunately, this thing could still be used.

There were ripples on the orb, and she confirmed that there was no one nearby, as a mortal who could not cultivate, this was the gift she asked for when she first married Gongsun He-Burning Spirit Orb, as long as there were monks' spiritual power fluctuations within half a mile around, the ripples on the orb would be twisted and stretched, indicating that there was danger.

In the secret room behind the throne of the city lord, she used all her strength to uncover a heavy stone slab, and pressed the switch again, and there was a clicking sound in the secret room, until another narrow secret door in the corner opened, she took out a night pearl, lifted the hem of her skirt, and entered the dark stairwell.

The heavy chains of soul suppression, the haggard gray face, the choking smell of stained blood, at the end of the dark staircase, in the light of the torches wrapped in oilcloth, imprisoned a thin monk, his golden silk robes long broken and mottled with blood clots, his hair scattered, and even his boots lost.

In front of the imprisoned monk's chest, there were seven dementor nails that were inserted into the bone, mottled bloodstains, which never seemed to solidify, and with a violent coughing sound, the dementor nails surged with purple-black brilliance, causing the weak body to shake with it, as if enduring inhuman pain.

If you look for a random person with a bit of status from Jibai City, you can recognize this as their city lord Gongsun He, but even if they come, they don't dare to recognize each other rashly, because at this time, he is already a prisoner, and he has lost all the aura of power, and he is no different from an ordinary pawn in the market.

Poof-

Gongsun He spat out a mouthful of blood, splashing it around the left, and the scarlet breath made the originally suffocated air here much thicker and more viscous. Some blood splattered on the round bronze medallion on the far wall, the bronze medal seemed to be engraved with a magic circle, absorbing his blood, gradually glowing with bright colors, gradually converging, and then flew out of a square bright flying talisman, flying towards the entrance at a rapid speed, and at the entrance, a transparent film of light suddenly appeared, wrapped the flying talisman, slowed down, and then crushed and annihilated like pinching an air-dried dessert.

"In vain!"

The woman in Huayi walked out from the shadow of the huge stone pillar, "In this spiritual magic array, no messenger spirit runes can fly out, and you still want to send a message to your filial son of the cheap seed?"

Huh——

The sound of weak gasps, accompanied by a hoarse 'hehe' echoing in the empty secret room, sounded creepy.

The woman in gorgeous clothes didn't care, took a few steps forward, and sat on the cold steps, where she could look up at Gongsun He up close, and under the light of the fire, there was only a trace of anger left in her haggard look.

Silence, silence.

After a long time, the woman said quietly:

"Do you love me?"

There was no answer.

"Do you remember the night in Yunxiang Mountain? It was the night I decided to marry you, and the days when we went to Cailin City to play, when we hadn't given birth to Changxiu yet, and I was only nineteen years old. She subconsciously touched her cheeks etched by the years, and sighed slightly, "The Qingchuan, gardenias, and wind chimes there are all so beautiful, so fragrant, so crisp, I am singing, and we laugh together until dawn..."

"Enough," Gongsun He swallowed, spitting out a ball of blood foam, "Yanluo, I can't go back, I love you, and I will always love you, why do you want to do this, do this to me, what did I do wrong?"

"Shut up!" The woman was interrupted by the fond memories, she suddenly rushed up and tore Gongsun He's already torn robe, "You never yelled at me in the past, why, since you practiced what foundation you have built, you no longer care about me, do you dislike me Lao Zhu Huang Lao, isn't it, I gave you the best youth, but you think I'm old, don't you?"

She roared, her out-of-control emotions had already made her lose her mind, and her hair and well-groomed makeup were all scattered.

"You're just a mortal," Gongsun He spat out another mouthful of dirty blood, "Immortals are different, this is fate." ”

"Why, why can you live forever, and I want to watch myself grow old day by day, what are you already rushing to Jindan, why don't you help me, why don't you want to help me, and say that you love me, you want to stay together, it's all a lie, it's all a lie to me, you negative person, a hypocrite, ......"

She raised her head, she seemed to have regained some sanity at this time, and waved her hand to give Gongsun He a slap, "I'm going to destroy you, destroy you with my own hands." ”

"Heh......" Gongsun He ignored her, slowly turned his head with great effort, staring at the occasional crackling torch that was burning, and seemed to have looked down on everything.

"You shouldn't have fallen in love with him back then, you should have gone with me, or you'd ......" A gray-robed man stood up from the dark corner, as if he had been there, had been listening.

"Shut up. The woman shouted, but her voice was no longer sharp, and Fang Cai's anger had exhausted its strength.

"Okay, Yanluo. The man was not angry, the fire reflected on his slippery face, and swept over his slightly chubby body, he held a serpentine sword in his hand, and slowly leaned towards Gongsun He.

"Are you all ready?" the woman asked.

"Don't worry, I exchanged your money for a lot of spirit stones, the operation of the magic circle is not a problem, tonight the demon beast fire crow can lay fire crow eggs, as long as it can lay eggs with innate law appearance, I can help you build a spiritual root, in the future, you will be like me, become a monk, and you will never grow old." ”

"Stupid," Gongsun He suddenly turned his head and scolded, "Chen Kun, Liu Yanluo, you pair of dogs and men, why didn't I kill you back then, if you do such a thing that hurts heaven and harmony, you will definitely be punished by heaven!"

Smack, smack, smack!

The man named Chen Kun slapped Gongsun He's mouth three times in a row, and Gongsun He, who was suppressed by the soul nail, had no different body from a mortal, and suddenly the corners of his mouth cracked, and the blood flowed endlessly.

"Yanluo, don't believe him," Gongsun He whimpered, "He will turn you into a monster who is not human, not a demon." ”

"No matter what she becomes, I love her," Chen Kun grabbed Gongsun He's neck and twisted his face towards him, "It's not like you, an old dog who likes the new and hates the old, and only knows how to cultivate, say it quickly! City Lord Yinxin, where is it hidden?"
