Chapter 18: The City Lord's Mansion
Shangguan Mo and Xiaoyun lived in the same room, and as soon as the two of them arrived, they closed their eyes and recuperated, and there was a noisy noise in the hall outside, which did not affect the two of them in the slightest.
I don't know how long it was, but it was almost night.
At this time, the footsteps of the outer door were soft and urgent, and a slight knock sounded on the door, Xiaoyun slowly opened his eyes, and Shangguan Mo was still meditating with his eyes closed.
Xiaoyun straightened up, stood up and said, "Please come in!"
The door opened, and the two were dressed in white and veiled, slender and exquisite. Each person holds a large plate in his hand, and there are vegetables, soup, and rice on the plate, although the amount is small, but it is very exquisite.
The two of them walked on the charming lotus step, their expressions were indifferent, they looked at the clouds like air, put the plate on the table and left.
Seeing this, Xiaoyun said with a smile: "Two girls, please stay!"
The two women stopped and turned around, staring at Xiaoyun with four eyes. The woman on the left said coldly: "Something?"
Xiaoyun coughed dryly and said with a smile: "I'm a little sick, I have to drink two cups at every meal, are the two girls?"
"What wine?" continued the one on the left.
Xiaoyun smiled: "Any kind of wine, I like it." ”
The two girls stopped talking and walked out with their companions.
"These two people are a little strange, their breath is not weak, but their expressions are too stiff, and they are out of the norm!" Xiao Yun muttered to himself, not too much to heart. In less than a minute, the woman in white came over with a silver cup and a pot of wine in her hand.
Xiaoyun hurriedly said, "Thank you two girls." ”
"You're welcome. The woman in white said coldly, put the wine glass and flask on the table, turned around and walked out, and closed the door casually.
Xiaoyun shook his head helplessly, picked up the wine glass on the table, and drank it. Shangguan Mo still didn't move.
"The path of cultivation is to advance in the first place, and Brother Shangguan will only lose his previous achievements if he forgets to eat too much. Xiaoyun glanced at him and said slowly. I have to say that this young son of the Shangguan family is really a cultivator, and he came to Lanyan City all the way to rest and cultivate.
Hearing this, Shangguan Mo slowly opened his closed eyes for a long time, and fine sweat slipped down his forehead.
"Brother Xiaoyun thinks when I will be able to break through the bottleneck!" Shangguan Mo exhaled tiredly, his handsome cheeks slightly pale. Fang Cai's luck was consumed too fast, and his body was a little unbearable, since he came to this Lan Yan City, he clearly knew how important it was to improve his strength every time.
Xiaoyun smiled indifferently and said, "After drinking this pot of wine, you can break through!"
"Okay!" Shangguan Mo agreed, picked up the wine glass and drank it all, shouting refreshed.
Xiaoyun nodded in satisfaction and poured himself a glass. The two of them immediately swept the food on the disc.
After being full of wine and food, Shangguan Mo said, "Brother Xiaoyun, what should I do next? Tomorrow will be the first martial arts competition in the world." ”
Xiaoyun put down the cup and turned his gaze to Shangguan Mo: "I plan to sneak into the City Lord's Mansion and find out if there are any reliable clues." ”
Shangguan Mo was stunned for a moment and said, "Brother Xiaoyun, it's not that I can't trust you. You have also seen the strength of the city lord protector in the square today, and with a single internal force, the masters of the two factions were repelled, and the two elders of the Xuanzhen faction and the Huashan faction who were super first-class in martial arts were quite afraid. You are not afraid to meet one of him, but there are three other people, and when you go, aren't you a sheep in the mouth of a tiger!"
"Having said that, I'm going to go. Brother Shangguan doesn't have to worry, I have my own way. Xiaoyun said firmly.
"That's good, I hope your luck won't be too bad. Shangguan Mo smiled bitterly, not knowing where he got the guts. By now, he was becoming more and more unable to see through each other, and felt an unfathomable taste.
Xiaoyun continued: "Brother Shangguan, you are carrying the entire family, you can't be mistaken, I don't have any scruples alone. ”
Shangguan Mo nodded, even if the other party was so persistent, it was useless to continue. He immediately said: "Brother Xiaoyun, although I haven't known you for a long time, it's a pity that I can't fight side by side with you. But as long as you can get out, I still think brother. ”
"I agree!" Xiaoyun smiled.
Shangguan Mo said cautiously: "If you can't do it, you will withdraw, don't be reckless." ”
Xiaoyun nodded, and after tidying up a little, he didn't grind. The door opened and quickly closed, and the figure standing in the doorway vanished.
The night was already very deep, and the lights were still on everywhere in the hotel, but it was extremely quiet, it was an unfamiliar environment, and the surroundings were so quiet that even I could hear my breathing clearly.
Under the faint moonlight, Xiaoyun walked alone on the street, originally he wanted to sneak into the City Lord's Mansion, but think about it, since it is best to go through the main gate, although there is more eyeliner. Because he also didn't have that much certainty of crossing the line from this group of high schools.
Smart people generally don't choose to go out for a walk at this time, and those who come out at this time have only two possibilities in this Lan Yan City, one is to escape, and the other is to find death. Presumably, these people in the martial arts who came know each other very well, otherwise, there would be no one on the street with so many people.
When Xiaoyun walked to the city wall inside and outside the separation, a premonition of uneasiness in his heart became more and more intense, I don't know why! If I could see the swordsman in green shirts, find out the whereabouts of the four evils, avenge the destruction of the door, and settle the grievances that I had accumulated for many years, wouldn't it be a happy thing? But the perception suggested that Xiaoyun might not be as good as he imagined.
"Swordsman in green shirts!" Silently muttering these four words, Xiaoyun shook his head, shaking off the restless premonition in his heart. Slowly walked towards the city lord's gate.
In front of me, the thick wall more than ten meters high blocked the road, and the gate was closed. This wall height is not difficult, as long as the light work is better, it can be crossed. When Xiaoyun was still a foot closer, a gust of wind sounded in the robe, and a man and a woman in white with swords swept from the left, blocking the front of Xiaoyun. The guards here are really tight, and they react very quickly.
Approaching, as soon as the man in white on the right arrived, he drank coldly: "Please stop, this is a forbidden place in the city, leave quickly." ”
Xiaoyun stopped and said slowly: "I know, I want to see the city lord of your city." ”
The two were stunned for a moment, looked at Xiaoyun strangely, and the woman on the left said: "You want to see the city lord, I'm sorry, the city lord of your city has never seen outsiders." ”
Xiaoyun flipped his palm, and a jade jade pendant appeared in his hand, this jade pendant was a little special, and its other half was purple. It was the jade pendant that Ling Xiaozi gave him before going down the mountain. Xiaoyun handed over the jade pendant and said, "Trouble the two of you to hand over this thing to the city lord, and he will naturally meet me." ”
The woman took a closer look and said in surprise: "Why does the Venerable Master have the letter of your city!"
"You don't need to ask these two, I didn't steal it anyway, please help me hand it in!" Xiaoyun said slowly.
The two glanced at each other, and the woman in white said, "Okay, please wait." After speaking, he picked up the jade pendant in Xiaoyun's hand, and flew away on tiptoe. The other man stayed still, staring at the clouds.
Xiaoyun smiled and said: "Your Excellency doesn't need to spy on me, since I have the city talisman, naturally I won't sneak in, I had this idea before, but now I don't!"
The man's eyes flashed with a cold light, and he said coldly: "Although the city lord has the city talisman, the city lord may not be blindfolded to see you, and when the news of the city lord has not yet arrived, the city lord can sneak in and try it." ”
Xiaoyun was not angry, and said with a smile: "Your Excellency is really fast-talking, I bet!"
As soon as the words fell, the closed door slowly opened, and the woman in white stood inside, shouting, "The city lord has an order, come and see you." ”
The man in white looked at him and said, "It's really lucky!"
Xiao Yun smiled and walked through the door, following the two of them. The city lord's mansion was extremely large, but it seemed a little empty and quiet. The left and right sides are dark and whirring, and you can't see anything, even if Xiaoyun has excellent eyesight, you can only vaguely see some buildings that resemble rockeries.
And a stone road in front of me is paved with marble, the width and narrowness can accommodate two carriages in parallel, straight to the inside, there is a bowl-like dragon stone pillar every other zhang on the roadside, the top of each stone pillar is hung with a headlamp, the light is everywhere, the thousand zhang is already slender, and then through the bright marble reflection, it is more bright, extremely gorgeous.
At the end of the road, it is a city wall made of marble, but there are several dragons and phoenixes carved on this city wall, traveling for nine days and the moon, and there are three big characters painted on the city wall "City Lord's Mansion", Xiaoyun was stunned, and said: "This is simply to the palace!"
The woman in white who walked in front said: "Yes, this place is built according to the planning of the palace, but it is not as gorgeous as the palace." ”
"There are thousands of towers in the palace, ten thousand watts of Linli, and the golden palace is all carved and jade, is it the same for this city lord's mansion!" Xiao Yun said curiously.
The woman in white said: "It's in front of you, why don't you see it yourself." ”
"It's better to see than to hear, I'm looking forward to it!" Xiaoyun nodded. He secretly said in his heart, this Lan Yan City Lord is really powerful, and his courage is not small, if this City Lord's Mansion is put outside, it will inevitably attract the wrath of the court, burn it, and punish the nine clans. But this is Lan Yan City, the existence of the six major factions of martial arts in the world, even if the court knows, I am afraid that they will not be able to help them.
