Standing in the backyard was a young girl who looked to be fourteen or fifteen years old, her hair simply tied back in a loose ponytail. She was wearing a cyan robe, and she looked like she had been through a fierce battle, with obvious wear and tear in some places. A delicate little sword was floating in the air, standing in front of her.

Sitting cross-legged was a young man of the same age, wearing a cyan robe of the same color as the little girl, with a long sword across his knees. The boy looked much more paused than the little girl, and his eyes were closed, as if he was pranayama.

The two of them are Changning and Lu Ming, who have just experienced that vicious fight.

Looking at these two young men and girls with extremely good-looking eyebrows but obviously sharp and difficult to be, Shang Hezhen calmed down.

Cultivators are immortal, and they are often much older than they seem. And a good face and easy-going expression are not necessarily synonymous with a pure heart. It is common for cultivators to fight and fight for their lives at every turn, and Shanghe Zhenshou would never think that the two people in front of him looked harmless to humans and animals on the surface, and they were really the kind of characters who were easy to deal with.

But at least so far, the two of them haven't made a fuss in front of them, so at least there is something to talk about.

Shanghe raised his hand to perform a ritual among scribes, and was about to say something, when Lu Ming stretched out a slender white index finger against his lips, shook his head slightly, and made a silent movement.

The fact that the girl, who looked not much older than Shang He's own daughter, just stood there and gave him a feeling that it was hard to resist his orders. This kind of power is indeed not available in the world.

Even if he was reluctant, Shanghe had to stop for the time being. Then he remembered something, turned his head and whispered to the head of the sect who followed behind him: "Tell the soldiers waiting outside to disperse, they have all been fortunate to have suffered all night, and they can't continue to consume." ”

Then he stood still and waited.

An hour will pass.

Although Shanghe Zhenshou has not been able to start practicing for many years, thanks to getting along with the Imperial Dynasty Zhenshou Great Seal almost day and night, passively accepting the penetration of Dao power, and his physique has improved a lot, so he can persist in this hour's withering.

An hour later, the cross-legged boy let out a deep breath. The turbid breath sent a gust of wind through the backyard and then dissipated.

Changning opened his eyes and saw that there were two more people in front of him, and he showed a slightly surprised expression, and when he saw the outfits of these two people, he showed a clear look.

When such a thing happened in the Chen Mansion, it was natural for the officials in the city to notice it and rush to it.

He got up and moved his joints slightly, and a crack of bone joints rang out. After a little cooler, he hugged his sword and saluted: "Changning, a disciple of the sword mound, has seen Lord Zhenshou. ”

Lu Ming nodded to the town guard, even if he had said hello.

The town guard of Shanghe hurriedly returned the salute, and then when he heard the word sword mound, he was startled in his heart.

These large sects are clearly recorded in the documents of the imperial court. Anything that is well-documented or just groundless is recorded in the book, and which sects are on the right path and which sects are perverse in their hearts are all listed in detail. Among the more confidential documents that Shanghe Zhenshou could not access, there were even the origins and whereabouts of all the disciples of various sects that could be checked in the past dynasties, and so on.

It is impossible for the cultivator sect to give this information to the imperial dynasty, so it is conceivable that the painstaking and material resources spent by the imperial dynasty in collecting these things cannot be described as heavenly.

Sword Mound is an old neighbor of Shanghe City, and its information is remembered most clearly in the hearts of Shanghe Town Guards. He knew that the Sword Mound was the most decisive faction in the righteous path, and although it was recorded in the volume of the righteous path sect, it was awe-inspiring to many people because of its domineering style. No matter who the other party is, as long as Kenzuka thinks that the truth is on his side, he will definitely not be soft when he comes out of the sword.

Carefully recalling the record of the sword mound, the confusion of the Shanghe town guard gradually rose.

He didn't think that the Chen Mansion could do any evil deeds that angered the people and resented the people, and he had to be killed by the Mansion. Even if there are really some evil deeds that even the imperial dynasty can't detect are committed, you must know that there are many miscellaneous servants in this mansion who have little to do with the Chen family's industry, even if the Chen family master has many crimes, there are always innocent people among these miscellaneous servants, why die?

There is no justification for indiscriminate killing of innocent people.

A sword without reason, the sword mound never comes out, and a killing without reason, the sword mound will not make it.

Shang He guarded these thoughts in his mind, and his brows furrowed unconsciously. Although he didn't ask directly, it was enough for Changning to guess what Shanghe Zhenshou was thinking in his heart.

Changning did not hide it, and told all the things that happened in the past few days.

The more Shanghe Town Guard listened, the more frightened he became. He was absolutely responsible for such horrific and cruel atrocities committed by demons in his own land. In addition to being horrified, he was even more worried about the fact that he couldn't detect the changes in the Chen Mansion earlier, if he had noticed it earlier, why did he let the people of this mansion give their lives in vain?

However, after a brief period of mood swings, Shanghe regained his composure. Although the other party is a disciple of the Sword Shrine, it is absolutely impossible for him to believe all of what Changning said unconditionally. The necessary investigation must be done, and the matter here must also be written to the imperial court. You must know that such an atrocity in this feudal town is almost equivalent to a direct declaration of war with the imperial dynasty, and for this kind of thing, there will inevitably be a series of cruel revenge against the foreign Taoist sect that did this, which is far beyond the responsibility of the Shanghe town guard.

Carefully organizing the wording, Shanghe Zhenshou said to Changning Luming and the others: "What this immortal chief said, this official has written them down one by one, and will report the proposed music to the imperial court on the same day. It's not that the official doesn't believe the two, it's just that there is a lot to do here, and before the court thoroughly investigates the matter, he still bothers the two to stay in the city for the time being, waiting for the court to finalize the case. If the two do not dislike it, they will deign to stay in the town guard mansion, and the official will treat him respectfully. ”

Changning understood the caution of Shanghe's guards, and was about to agree, but Lu Ming took a step ahead of him and said lightly: "It is natural for the dynasty to check again, it will take about more than ten days to pass the book back and forth, and we will stay in the city for more than ten days." You don't have to work to guard the house, we can just find a place by ourselves. ”

Shang He Zhenshou was a little surprised that the two people in front of him were so easy to talk to, and he could hear the unhappiness in Lu Ming's tone, but the Imperial Town Guard itself was not responsible for the sect, and he didn't care much. got the promise of Changning Luming, and didn't stay long, waved his hand and beckoned the accompanying head to turn around and leave.
