On the way back, Wang Xuan noticed that several impatient spring peaches had already spit out green shoots. The breeze is tinged with the fragrance of plants and trees. It's just that for some reason, a few bits of fresh green on the branches of this tree don't seem to have the slightest sense of vitality that everything is about to be born, but faintly reveals a little dying yellow.

Wang Xuan shook his head, maybe he thought too much about it.

After walking for about half an hour, when I returned home, the black lacquer door of the huge mansion was closed, and Wang Xuan had no intention of pushing open the door to enter, and Su Er led the way in through the side door that was half-open.

On weekdays, the noise of the servants is not there, all kinds of tools are scattered all over the ground in the flower beds, and the big house where more than a dozen people enter and leave is so quiet that they can't even hear the sound of insects, which is even more desolate and cold.

Walking through the empty patio, Wang Xuan saw that his father Wang Mingli was sitting on the Taishi chair with his eyes closed, resting on the Taishi chair, and on the side, the half-hidden teacup on the side of the table did not reveal any heat.

Wang Xuanjing stood in front of him and did not speak. After a long time, Wang Mingli spoke.

"It's all this time, what are you doing running back? Didn't I tell you to accompany my husband and take advantage of this time to learn a few more immortal arts?"

"The gentleman said that he had finished teaching what he had taught, and that he only needed time to comprehend it. As for some others, they can't be learned in these two days, so they ordered me to come and accompany you. Wang Xuan replied.

"I have something to do with you, haven't you always been unwilling to stay by your copper-smelling father. So, if you still have the skills, go and visit Mr. Cedar. Mr. Cedar has taught you the six arts of poetry and calligraphy for more than ten years, and his kindness is like the sea. What's more, this time Mr. sent you out of the city to set up the formation, the most scarce piece of wind and blood jade, which was also handed down by Mr. Cedar's ancestors and handed over to Mr. ”

"But... Dad!" Wang Xuan knelt on the ground, his voice whimpering, "It's a son, I was not filial in the past! Dad, Xuan'er just wants to be by your side now! Xuan'er doesn't want to leave!"

"What are you talking about!" Wang Mingli sighed, opened his eyes, and looked at Wang Xuan, who was already crying in front of him.

"Do you know that there are more than 200,000 people in Feng County, who doesn't want to leave here? If it weren't for Mr. Xuesong's knowledge of immortal arts, if it weren't for the fact that your father hid some precious jade in his early years, and if it wasn't for Mr. Cedar, he didn't hesitate to give away the ancestral precious jade. Xuan'er, even if you want to leave, you can't leave!"

"At the moment of life and death, how can a child run away and live alone!" Wang Xuan wiped his eyes, "Sixteen years of nurturing, Xuan'er has not fulfilled his filial piety in front of you, how can he abandon you!"

"Wang Xuan! If you don't leave, you will really be unfilial!" Wang Mingli suddenly shouted and stood up.

"Lan Sea Demon Cloud is trapped in the city, and none of the people in Fengxian County can escape, and they will all turn into things in the belly of the demon. If you don't leave, will it be true that you will bury your old bones here with me? If you don't run away with your life and spread the incense of my royal family, will it be filial piety?

"Daddy!!"

"Okay, teenagers, what does it look like to cry!" Wang Mingli's tone softened again. "Stand up!"

Wang Xuan stood up from the ground and wiped his red eyes.

"Don't talk about this!" Wang Mingli waved his hand and said again, "Is the formation set up by Mr. appropriate?"

Wang Xuan lowered his eyebrows, still with some sobs, and said, "There are still a few pieces of green jade that are missing for the purpose of hooking the aura, and Mr. instructed me to go to the Golden Jade Hall to find a few." ”

"Then what are you still doing here to delay time!" Wang Mingli's eyes widened, "Quickly go to the account room and get the money, if the Golden Jade Hall is still open, spend more money to get some high-grade green jade." If it's closed, it's okay to smash the store!"

"En," Wang Xuan agreed in a muffled voice.

"That's right!" Seeing that Wang Xuan was about to leave, Wang Mingli said as if he remembered something.

"There are a lot of mobs in the city now, and the county lords of Feng County have been stewed in a big pot by those crazy people, and it's very chaotic outside, you must be careful when you go out. At this time, if someone does something wrong, there is no need to show mercy!"

"My son knows!" Wang Xuan nodded, glanced at his father again, and then withdrew.

Looking at Wang Xuan's departing back, Wang Mingli sighed deeply, and the whole person spread out on the wide Taishi chair as if he was losing his strength. In his eyes, he couldn't hide his tiredness and sadness.

The slight spring breeze blows on the face, but it carries the slaughter and withering like late autumn. On the three-zhang wide avenue in the heart of the city, there are almost no human figures. The shops on the street were in shambles, the bodies of several stripped and blood-stained women lay on the side of the road, and from time to time desperate civilians could be seen hanging in front of their houses. The endless mixture of blood and scorching in the air is disgusting.

Wang Xuan tried his best to avoid the small pits of blood or vomit on the bluestone pavement, and as far as the eye could see, he was full of devastation, birdsong, and dog barking, all of which were not heard. Occasionally, some ghost-like passers-by passed by, but they didn't even look at Wang Xuan beside him.

"In just a few days, such a large county town has become a dead city. Wang Xuan sighed in his heart, looked up, and vaguely felt that the gray clouds that covered the sky seemed to have narrowed a little.

"It's the end of the world!"

The wind was strong, and Wang Xuan tightened the cloth robe he was wearing. In order not to attract attention as much as possible, when he went out, Wang Xuan changed out of the sable felt robe that Su'er took out, and found a light-colored flannel robe to drape on his body.

Fortunately, the street was still calm at this time, and Wang Xuan walked quickly towards the Jinyutang in the center of the city. After walking for a short time, the shadow of a tall building in the mist ahead could be faintly seen.

Walking to the high-rise building and taking a closer look, Wang Xuan shook his head. But I thought a little too much, how could a place like Jinyutang, which was full of yellow and white things, not be attacked by mobs in such a chaotic time. At this moment, what appeared in front of me was already half of the high-rise building that had been smashed to pieces and half set on fire. Even the coiled Nanmu dragon on the doorpost of the Golden Jade Hall did not regain its former majesty, and I don't know who had been cut off most of it.

I don't know what those people are doing at this time.

Wang Xuan thought in his heart, and his subordinates pushed open the door that had been split in half and was obliquely hidden. As soon as I entered the door, I saw the corpse of a member of the Golden Jade Hall running hall lying in the center of the main hall, and a half-arm-long firewood knife was inserted into the man's chest, and blood flowed all over the ground. Looking further ahead, there were about seven or eight corpses lying in the mess, and it was thought that the entire Jinyutang was killed.

Wang Xuan frowned slightly. These guys who ran the hall were just begging for a livelihood in Jinyutang, but they didn't want to be killed by these intruding mobs.

Even Wang Xuan saw a headless corpse kneeling on the ground, thinking that this person must have been kneeling down to beg for mercy from the intruder before he died, but he was still beheaded, leaving only a headless corpse kneeling there. This kind of inhumane behavior is not known to be much different from the monsters besieging the city.

However, Wang Xuan was even more worried that Jin Yutang had become like this, and he didn't know if he could find the green jade he needed. If it really teaches people to move out, it's really a troublesome thing.

On the first floor of Jin Yutang, there are only some yellow and white jewelry, gold ingots and ingots, etc., and Wang Xuan does not look at them carefully. Raising his feet to avoid the blood stains on the ground, he walked to the second floor.

He had just stepped on the creaking wooden staircase and was just going upstairs, and before he could see anything clearly in the darkness, Wang Xuan suddenly felt a cool breeze coming from the back of his head. Before he could think about it, Wang Xuan immediately lowered his head, only to feel that something floated above his head. When Wang Xuan turned sideways and looked back, a man in tattered clothes was looking at him with some surprise, and his right hand was still holding a three-foot-long ghost head knife.

Thinking that it was the long knife that had just crossed his head, Wang Xuan thought with some fear. If it weren't for the beginning of his own spells. Under the aura into the body, the five senses are much more sensitive than ordinary people. Otherwise, with the knife just now, I'm afraid that this head would have rolled to the ground.

Wang Xuan looked at the person in front of him with red eyes and a hideous face. Although the whole body is tattered, it is stained with a lot of blood, and there is a prisoner tattoo on the left side of his face. Wang Xuan recognized that only sinners on death row would tattoo words on their faces. What's more, even the ghost head big knife in his hand can only be held by the officials of the county government.

This man must be an outlaw who kills people without blinking, and is not comparable to the mob. Wang Xuan's heart was greatly vigilant, he thought that the people who broke into the Golden Jade Hall must be a group of chaotic people, otherwise how could so many people in the building be killed. Now it seems that it was all done by this murderer.

was thinking about it, but saw the man in front of him smirk, revealing a mouth full of black and yellow teeth.

"Hehe, boy, it's useless to dress up, you can know at a glance the eyes of the Sprinkle family, you must be the noble son who ran out. , the Sprinkle family finally escaped from the death prison, although they had a good addiction to killing, but they still haven't killed a rich family like you. You rich people are the most hateful on weekdays, and now you are unlucky to be in the hands of the Sprinkle family, eat this knife of the master!"

As he spoke, the ghost head knife in the man's hand turned, and his feet flew, and he was already holding the long knife high and rushing in.

Looking at the murderous man rushing towards him, Wang Xuan took a deep breath, pinched the hand hidden under the sleeve robe, and then the sleeve robe shook, and a cold wind just covered the man who rushed in front of him.

This menacing man only felt that with a wave of the kid's right hand in front of him, a penetrating chill surged all over his body, almost freezing to the bone marrow, and the movements of his hands couldn't help but freeze for a while. At this time, Wang Xuan's eyes changed, and he suddenly pulled out an inch-long small sword from his waist, and without hesitation, he stabbed the sword into the man's heart, and then kicked it out again, kicking the frozen man out of Zhang Xu Yuan.

"Bang dang!"

The murderous man landed with a ghost knife in his hand, his eyes were wide, and a few balls of blood came out of his mouth, and he was already killed on the spot.

"No matter how fierce you are, you can't be as fierce as the night wandering stiff in the grave on the outskirts of the city!"

Wang Xuan pulled out the bloodstained small sword, patted the dust on his body, looked at the man who died on the ground, and snorted.

If this man really thinks that he is the kind of playboy who has no power to restrain the chicken, then he is wronged to die. I think that when he first entered the line of cultivation, Mr. took himself to travel all over the barren mountains and wild tombs around Feng County, looking for the spirits or zombies of the fledgling climate to practice magic. Just now, he didn't react when he went upstairs, so he caught this person off guard, which made this murderer a little contemptuous, and the door was wide open, and it was not difficult to kill him. Wang Xuan shook his head, ignored the dead body on the ground, and raised his eyes to look around.

The second floor is much better than the downstairs, there is no mess around, and there are no corpses on the ground, but it seems to have been looted very clean. Wang Xuan frowned slightly, thought about it for a while, and walked in the direction that the man had just pounced on.

Sure enough, at the corner of the corridor ladder, Wang Xuan found half a roast chicken scattered on the ground, a few drunken wine jars, and gold, silver and jade all over the ground!

Brushing aside the accumulation of yellow and white belongings, he finally found more than a dozen pieces of blue and clear jade. These green jades are usually selected by wealthy customers, and then carved into the style ordered by the jade carvers of Jinyutang. At this moment, it is cheaper than Wang Xuan.

It's just that among the green jade, Wang Xuan also found a piece of yellow palm topaz with a few wisps of white lines. This is a little strange, Wang Xuanchang is so old and rarely sees topaz. After thinking about it, Wang Xuan also took this piece of topaz with him, left the Golden Jade Hall, and walked back home quickly.

When he returned home, Wang Xuan saw Su'er sitting on a stone bench in the garden looking up at the sky, not knowing what he was thinking, with a little indescribable sadness between his eyebrows. Wang Xuan sighed in his heart, since the demon cloud hit a few days ago, Mr. bluntly said that Fengxian County was going to die, and none of the people in the city could escape, and Su'er was naturally the first to learn the news.

Later, after many people in the city broke into the demon cloud in panic, but couldn't even make a sound, everyone finally confirmed the fact that they were trapped by the demon cloud.

In desperation, countless people went crazy and smashed everywhere, making the last struggling. Even if some of them are still able to restrain themselves, they either cower in their homes in fear or simply commit suicide. Now there are dozens of servants in the royal house, and only Su'er is still here.

But Wang Xuan also understands that human nature is to survive by life. Knowing that she is going to die, it is rare for Su'er to be able to maintain her emotions, as she said, she is not afraid of life and death, and it is just to comfort Wang Xuan. Thinking of this, Wang Xuan sighed in his heart, and didn't bother Su'er, holding the green jade in his arms, and went straight to the Shouxian Residence where Mr. was.
