Chapter 123: The Man on the Cliff
"Cave Master, the little one has inquired clearly, the sect that recruits disciples from the Star City is called Sanqing Palace. An ordinary-looking young man was kneeling on one knee and said to a gray-haired old man, "But the disciple has made a lot of effort, and he can't get more information from the mouths of those family members in the City Lord's Mansion, but he knows that the Sanqing Palace has a great relationship with the previous city lord." β
The old man sat on the chair and said lightly: "Little bolt, you have also been under my seat for a few years, you know my style, for those who are not satisfied with completing the task, what kind of charter it is, you can choose for yourself." β
The young man named Xiao Zhuzi turned pale, stammered and said, "Cave master, my subordinates have really done their best, and they have not deceived the cave master at all!
The reason why he is so afraid of the old man's punishment is because in the old man's punishment, there is no option to survive at all, it is all about thinking, just whether he dies happily or not. He is still young, so he naturally doesn't want to die so early, and there are elderly parents, wives and daughters at home, so letting him die will cut off the livelihood of a large family.
The old man waved his hand, but without saying anything, a shadow suddenly appeared from the shadows behind him, and pounced on the young man who was still kneeling and begging for mercy. The young man seemed to realize that he was unwilling to die, so he decided to take a risk, got up suddenly, took out a cigarette pill from his arms, and smashed it to the ground.
The shadow seemed to be trapped in sight, coughed a few times, and by the time the smoke cleared, the young man in front of him had long since disappeared. The old man scolded angrily: "Waste! I have to do it myself!"
Then, he got up and sneered, and said, "No one has been able to escape from the hands of my cliff man, and you will definitely not be the first!" He took out an iron can from his bosom and struck it lightly three times, and a burst of black smoke came out of the can, which was thicker than the smoke caused by the smoke pill just now, and it was so black that it seemed to suck all the light into it.
The black shadow that came out just now was a thin woman in black clothes and black robes, and when she saw the black smoke, it was as if she had seen some demons and monsters, and her body trembled a little.
The man on the cliff smiled and said, "Black Charm, it seems that you are quite impressed by my baby! Since you know the power of my baby, then you can bring back the corpse of that little bolt to me!"
He didn't seem to worry at all about the little plug escaping the palm of his hand, just let the black smoke out of the jar, sat back in his chair, and began to wait quietly for the result.
Black Charm gritted her teeth, stomped her feet, and rushed out of the house, following Black Smoke's tail to find the little bolt.
At this time, it was already midnight outside, the moon was covered by thick clouds, and the city was quiet, not at all the people who were buzzing during the day.
The little bolt seemed to know the streets of Star City very well, and picked those sheep intestine paths to walk through, avoiding the patrolling guards and night walkers, as if the destination was very clear.
The black charm followed the black smoke, and did not see the shadow of the little bolt for a long time, and she was a little apprehensive. She knows the ability of black smoke very well, she was injured by this black smoke in the first place, even if she was unwilling, she was pinched by the people on the cliff, and had to obey him.
It was the first time she had seen black smoke for so long without making a meritorious service, which was really a bit abnormal. But this black smoke is not something she can control after all, she can only follow behind, and the rest of the things can only be done by the black smoke herself.
Suddenly, as if he had seen something, the black smoke sped forward, narrowing the distance between him and the black ghost, and then suddenly hit an invisible wall and stopped.
Only then did the black charm realize that she had already arrived outside the City Lord's Mansion. Although she has been living in the shadow of the people on the cliff for so long, she has also followed the people on the cliff to observe the city lord's mansion in Star City from a distance, so she still has a little impression of this place. However, she had never had close contact with the City Lord's Mansion, so naturally she didn't know that there was actually a layer of enchantment outside the City Lord's Mansion.
She had a bad heart, and as soon as she wanted to open her mouth to urge the black smoke to turn back, she felt a burst of coldness, as if she was being targeted by some fierce beast, and even breathing became a little difficult.
"This ...... Is that what it is...... Monk Jindan's momentum?" she thought to herself.
She guessed correctly, and when her mind just turned a little, she saw a long figure emerge from the wallβa man in cloth clothes was looking down at her in mid-air, and said, "What day is tonight, why do people come to break into the City Lord's Mansion at night one after another?"
After that, he shook his head, and didn't care about the movements that the black charm was struggling, and directly wrapped it with spiritual power along with the black smoke and escorted it to the City Lord's Mansion.
In the lobby, the little bolt that ran out of the cliff just now was standing in the center of the hall with two strands of war, and saw that the Jindan monk who had just caught him in brought in the black charm and a cloud of black smoke again, and he was shocked and frightened, crying with a sad face, bowing his head and saying nothing.
There were two other people in the lobby, one was Hao Tong, the city lord of Star City, and the other was Shen Da of Sanqing Palace, and it was He Lianjun who caught people in.
Helian Jun said to Hao Tong and Shen Da: "Two, today is really a rare day, there are people breaking into the City Lord's Mansion at night, you can also take a look at what's going on." β
Hao Tong looked at the little bolt and the black charm in front of him, shook his head and said, "These two people don't look like people from my Star City, and looking at their appearance, they don't look like ordinary people. β
Helian Jun said: "Tong'er, you haven't drawn qi into your body yet, so naturally you can't see that these two people are monks with cultivation! Although their cultivation is not too high, they have not been practicing for a long time, so they can be regarded as people with great potential." β
Shen Da nodded, and then said strangely, "Brother Helian, what is it in your sleeve?
He Lianjun smiled and said, "You are naturally familiar with it, have you forgotten that my Senior Sister Gu's spirit body is very similar to this black smoke?" He took out the black smoke, handed it to Shen Da, and said, "Look at the structure of this black smoke, is it similar to when Senior Sister Gu didn't condense the spirit body?"
Shen Da suddenly realized: "I see, I just said that this feels so familiar, it turns out that this is also a ball of soul!"
He Lianjun nodded and said: "Exactly! And this is still the soul artificially created by the group, and it also makes people move a lot of hands and feet!"
Turning around, he said to Xiao Bolt and the Black Charm: "Who are you? What is the purpose of coming to the City Lord's Mansion? In front of us, don't think about hiding it, otherwise we and others will not be soft-hearted people." As soon as the momentum was put down, it made the black charm and the little bolt throb in their hearts.
