With a soft creak, the man stepped into the door first, and turned to look at Shen Yan.

Seeing this, Shen Yan had no choice but to step on the stone steps and enter the door of the study.

Facing the door was a screen waving ink landscapes, and through the screen, a low and slightly hoarse man's voice asked, "Who is coming?"

"General, it's Miss Shen. The man who came with Shen Yan all the way responded respectfully, and then made a gesture to Shen Yan, then turned sideways and led her around the screen into the room.

The area of this study is not small, but only one-third of the bookshelves are placed, and the other two-thirds is very empty, except for one bookcase, and many tables and chairs for guests are neatly placed on the other side.

At this moment, there were many people sitting in this huge study, and Su Qing, the owner of the ninth floor, was impressively in the ranks.

Sitting at the top was a young man with a pale face and beard, but with a slightly burly figure, his long hair was scattered and looked very uninhibited, but he sat there upright, and his expression was very serious.

Seeing the two of them coming in, he said, "Miss Shen, please sit down first." ”

This voice is exactly the one I heard through the screen before. Thinking of the so-called general in the mouth of the leader, Shen Yan also instantly understood that this was Murong, the general of Zhenbei of the Dafu Empire.

Subconsciously looked in the direction where Su Qing was, the latter nodded slightly, and Shen Yan had no choice but to say thank you and sit down in the nearest position.

The person who led her here bowed to Murong and then turned around and went out.

Looking at the other people in the room who didn't know him, Shen Yan couldn't help but feel a little restrained for a while.

Before she could say anything, General Murong on the top of the first seat first asked, "Earlier, Lord Su and General Ben said that Miss Shen was born in the Immortal Sect?"

Shen Yan hesitated, but nodded and said, "Yes." ”

When Murong heard this, he seemed to pause, and then continued: "Half a month ago, the Lord of Su sent a message about Wuyang City....... Although General Ben sent an army to join forces with the people of the Ninth Floor and Liuying Tower, he set up a blockade outside Wuyang City. But...... All those who had been sent to the station were gone. ”

"This ...... How could this be?" Shen Yan had surprise on his face, and he couldn't help but think of the scene he saw when he came back from the Buddha Immortal Strange Wall and deliberately took a detour to the outside of Wuyang City.

Murong said: "It seems that there are still people living there in the camp, but those who were sent to guard outside Wuyang City are all gone. Hong Gongzi once sneaked into Wuyang City to see, and there was no trace of those people inside. ”

Shen Yan couldn't figure out for a while, what was the use of Murong specially telling her this. So, subconsciously, she looked at the only person she was familiar with.

Su Qing coughed while covering her lips, and because of this action, she couldn't help but have a little dizziness on her cheeks, and after receiving Shen Yan's gaze, she said, "General Murong means that he hopes that Miss Shen can act as an intermediary and contact Xianmen to investigate this matter." ”

Murong nodded, and his gaze fell on Shen Yan's body.

Shen Yan pursed his lips, thought for a moment, and said, "I have finished what I came out this time, and I am about to go back to the master's gate." What does the general mean...... I'll tell my ancestors. ”

Murong twisted his eyebrows: "Originally, nearly a million people were killed in Wuyang City, but now more than 2,000 people are missing, and their lives and deaths are unknown. This matter is urgent, and the girl is asked to inform Master Ling as soon as possible. ”

Shen Yan could only nod when he heard this, and said, "That's good." Since this is the case, then it is inconvenient for me to stay longer, so I will take my leave. She originally wanted to ask Su Qing what Meng Fuyao's situation was now, but when Murong said this, she also felt that this matter was more important. Meng Fuyao is protected by a red peony, at least there won't be any big problems. Taking a step back, if something really happened, Su Qing should also take the initiative to tell her.

Murong seemed to want to say something more, but finally paused and said, "In this way, there will be Miss Lao." ”

Shen Yan sighed slightly in his heart, and after saluting, he didn't say anything else, turned around and walked out.

In the study, Su Qing confessed to Murong, and he followed him out.

"Miss Shen. ”

Stopping Shen Yan, who was leaving, Su Qing walked quickly to her side and laughed softly: "Miss Shen, don't be stressed. This thing can be the best, but it can't be ...... No one will complain about you. ”

Shen Yanxian was still a little puzzled why the other party suddenly came out and stopped him, and when he heard her say this, he couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief, and said with a smile: "Thank you, Master Su." Let me tell you the truth, before you, the ancestor had already received the news that the demon clan was about to make a comeback. It's just that he hasn't told me the specific situation, so he doesn't know what arrangements the master has made. But...... There is a ban on cultivators in the world, and if you really need the help of the disciples of the Immortal Sect, this matter must be resolved as soon as possible. ”

Su Qing's face was slightly surprised: "These, why didn't you explain it to General Murong?"

Shen Yan's face was slightly astringent: "Actually, these are also my own guesses." She didn't know that much about the ban, she only knew that for most cultivators, the effect of the ban was not small. If there really is a ban that requires a large number of cultivators to enter the world and meddle in the affairs of the world, I am afraid that they will have scruples. After all, when the eldest princess sacrificed the Four Emperors Spirit Beads, it meant that cultivators were not allowed to enter the world and were not allowed to reveal their spells.......

Su Qing is not a cultivator, but he also knows something about the ban. Even though Shen Yan had already explained that it was his own guess, he still had a little bit of agreement.

"I'll tell General Murong about it. Saying this, she paused for a moment and changed the subject again: "Actually, apart from the disappearance of those troops guarding outside Wuyang City and my people on the ninth floor and Liuying Tower, there has been no news of the people who have been sent out to deliver letters to other places these days. ”

Shen Yan was a little surprised: "How can this be?"

Su Qing shook his head: "I don't know." Hong Gongzi once went to see it, except for Wuyang City, there was no demonic spirit in other places. However, Cthulhu City, Wuyang City, and the nearby cities such as Jinmo and Lizhu are as if they are isolated by something, and anyone who leaves the Mobei area will no longer be able to contact them. ”

"Isn't that ......?"

"That's right. We are now trapped in the Mobei area. When Su Qing said this, her expression was solemn. But so far, it seems that the people of several cities have not noticed. They come and go every day, and there is nothing wrong with the traders coming and going...... We used to have messengers disguise themselves as ordinary people or vendors, and we never returned. Yesterday, Hong Gongzi decided to go to Kyoto to deliver the letter in person. ”

"What about Fuyao?" Shen Yan subconsciously asked.

Su Qing smiled: "Miss Shen really cares about Miss Meng. She has now also left with Hong Gongzi. The most obvious target of the demon clan now is her, and although Hong Gongzi listened to General Murong's arrangement and left, he was not worried that she was here. ”

"That's good. Shen Yan couldn't tell why he cared so much about Meng Fuyao, so he simply didn't explain. He looked at the sky and said, "I should go too." Master Su, there will be a period later. ”

"There will be a period later. Su Qing nodded slightly, stopped and watched Shen Yan leave.

Soon after Shen Yan left, Su Qing heard footsteps behind him.

"General?"

"Lord Su. ”

The two stood face to face under the porch, and by the inconspicuous moonlight, each saw the sadness on the other's face.

Su Qing didn't speak, but Murong asked first, "You say, this time, can we also survive safely?"

"At the beginning, all the hardships have been overcome, and it makes no sense that the human race has been breeding and developing on this continent for so many years and will fail. Again...... If we really reach the point where we can't do anything, the Immortal Clan will not sit idly by. ”

"Immortal ......"

Murong looked up at the sky. In the early days of antiquity, people passed on by word of mouth that the gods lived on the sky and overlooked the changes between the human world. Unfortunately, with the passage of time, the immortals gradually replaced the influence of the gods on humans. It's not right to say that, it's not that the immortals have replaced the gods, but that human beings are beginning to be unable to distinguish the difference between gods and immortals, so they simply unify and call them immortals.

"In any case, we have to do our part first. General, do you say yes?"

Su Qing raised her head and asked such a sentence, her gaze was as calm and gentle as ever, but Murong always felt that there seemed to be something hidden in those eyes that people couldn't understand.

He collected all his thoughts, lowered his eyebrows and said, "What the landlord said is good." The night is dark, and the landlord is not in good health, so he will go to rest early. ”

"Then I'll take my leave. Su Qing didn't shirk, and just said goodbye and left here.

Murong was still standing in place, raising his head again and looking at the sky.

He suddenly remembered the hexagram that Zhishi Muyuan had divined for him before all this broke out. At that time, he didn't really understand the true meaning of the hexagram, but now he finally understands it. The incomprehensible hexagram has actually pointed out the movements of the demon clan today. But the hexagram is not all about the demon clan......

“...... At the time of great change, the old man is the enemy. ...... Old man, who old man will it be?" Murong's heart flashed with a name, but he was never sure which old man would be.

The hatred between the human race and the demon race is already irresolvable, and no matter who you are, you can see it clearly. Even if there are great interests, no one will not be able to carry it out to seek skin with the tiger, and the city lord and others of Wuyang City will only help the demon clan if they are completely controlled...... The people I know are not stupid, and they know very well what to do and what not to do. Because of this, Murong would not be able to think of who the "old man" was.

"If only I could contact Tomoyo-sama now. With a sigh, Murong still had no other feasible way after all, and now no matter how anxious he was, he could only wait for the news of Shen Yan or Red Peony to come back.
