The Beimen family, as the oldest family in the Northland, has long since been traceable.

Beidi is different from the economic prosperity of the Central Plains, and it is also different from the cultural prosperity of Jiangdong.

It is mostly wind-blown sand, the environment is harsh, and it is often an endless desert.

The North Gate family is located in a desert oasis.

At night, the temperature of the entire oasis begins to plummet, accompanied by the wind and sand, like the whimper of a terrible ghost, which is extremely terrifying.

The Beimen family has lived here for generations, and I don't know how many years it has lasted.

The family's iconic building is a nine-story black tower.

The years and months of the existence of the ancient tower have long been unverifiable, the materials used are not gold, not iron, not stone, after the wind and sun, it has long been covered with dust, but not even a trace of cracks can be seen.

It is said that the Beimen family left an ancestral motto a long time ago, and they must guard the Black Tower for generations, and they must not leave at any time.

And the North Gate family did exactly that.

But why Zu Xun said this, no one in the clan can say clearly.

There are many old people who say that under the Black Tower, the demons have been suppressed, and only the bloodline of the Beimen clan can maintain the Black Tower.

But whether this statement is true or not, no one can corroborate.

In the dark room, the lights are dancing.

Beimen Lie couldn't sleep over and over, as a rising star of the younger generation of the Beimen family, he just turned twenty-one years old this year, and he has always aimed at his cousin Beimen Sanshu.

In order to catch up with his cousin's footsteps, he practiced day and night, and almost became a martial idiot, but even so, the gap with the three books of the North Gate is getting bigger and bigger.

This gave him a deep sense of powerlessness. ，

Of course, there is more powerlessness than this, there is one more thing.

That is, after night, no one is allowed to light the lamp, and they are not allowed to cultivate in the courtyard.

He was also extremely puzzled by this rule.

A month ago, after the head of the family discussed with several elders, he suddenly set this strange rule.

You know, in the past, there were no restrictions at all.

At night, you can cultivate as long as you want.

Moreover, the entire mansion is lit up all night long, and there are guards patrolling, which is almost no different from the daytime.

But now, not only are they not allowed to practice in the courtyard, but they are also not allowed to light the lamps, and even the people on patrol have been compressed.

From the first to the second watch, everyone must go back to sleep!

This made him extremely puzzled.

For this matter, he also went to ask his father.

His father's words at that time still make him think about it, and he still has a strange feeling.

He remembered that his father was looking at a painting in his study, obsessed with it.

It seems that the answer to my own question is only subconscious.

[Curiosity kills cats, and curiosity kills people.] The family does this, and naturally there is a reason to do so, just sleep well. 】

He wanted to ask more, but his father waved him down.

A few days later, he went to see his father, but he didn't see him, but shut himself in his study, not knowing what to do.

In addition to his father, several other elders of the family also had a strange feeling.

Everyone has become mysterious.

He once got up at night to go to the toilet and saw his second uncle passing by the courtyard alone, he shouted at the time, but his second uncle ran directly into the distance as if he had been stimulated by something.

He was taken aback and quickly chased after him.

But when he chased a corridor, he directly lost the trace of his second uncle.

After daytime, he went to ask his second uncle.

But his second uncle angrily reprimanded him on the spot.

Because last night, his second uncle had been sleeping in the room, and several aunts and wives could prove that he had never left the bed for half a step.

His second uncle said that he was obsessed with ghosts and talked nonsense, and almost locked him up.

He still can't figure out whether what he saw that night was his second uncle.

Of course, this is just one thing.

In the next ten days, other things happened one after another, each revealing a little weird.

What made him feel weirdest was his father's study.

During the day, his father hid in his study and stayed all day, not knowing what to do.

He had long been curious.

Beimen Lie's energy is extraordinarily strong, and he often stays awake all night long, and now he doesn't have a trace of sleepiness at all.

Seeing that it was dark outside, nearly three watches, he suddenly got up.

"Forget it, let's take a look, I remember that my father was looking at a painting at the time, and he was obsessed with it, could it be that there is some martial arts secret hidden in that painting?"

His eyes flickered, and the more he thought about it, the more curious he became.

I got dressed, opened the door gently, and walked out.

The entire Beimen family was exceptionally silent, and it was pitch black.

Only the faint light of the stars and moon sprinkled in the courtyard, hazy.

Beimen Lie directly swept towards the distance.

His room was some distance from his father's study.

When he was halfway through, he suddenly stopped, showed a suspicious look, and looked back into the distance.

"Hee"

"Hey, hey'''"

An eerie low laugh came, vague, sounding like a five or six-year-old.

Beimen Lie's eyes were puzzled, and he walked towards the source of the sound.

```

In the afternoon.

Zhang Yuan and the others walked through a desert and finally came to the area of the North Gate Family.

He plucked his hair as he looked up at the giant city in front of him.

"Blacktower City. ”

"This big city is named after a building of my North Gate family, and the building of my North Gate family is the nine-story Black Tower. ”

The north gate stopped cherry blossoms and smiled, her beautiful eyes swept over the black crow in Zhang Yuan's hand from time to time, and she secretly wondered.

Along the way, I saw Zhang Yuan constantly plucking his hair.

The strange thing is that every time the black crow in his hand is stripped of its feathers, it will give birth again in a very short time.

Along the way, I plucked the feathers dozens of times alone.

It was the first time she had seen such a creature.

"Nine-story Black Tower?"

Zhang Yuan was surprised.

He wanted to see it even more.

"Zhang Shaoxia, Brother Su, let's go in. ”

The north gate stopped Sakura and said with a smile.

The three of them walked towards the city.

Although the city is not as lively as Jiangdong, there are also many people from the rivers and lakes who come and go, carrying swords and swords, and most of them are children of the dust.

Moving forward, Zhang Yuan soon spotted a huge black tower towering in the distance.

"Is that where your family is?"

Zhang Yuan asked.

"That's right. ”

The north gate stopped Sakura and said with a smile.

"I don't know if your brother is at home?"

Zhang Yuan said with a smile.

"My brother has always liked to travel, and his whereabouts are uncertain, and I can't say anything about his whereabouts. ”

The north gate stopped cherry blossoms and smiled bitterly.

Zhang Yuan pondered, smiled slightly, and didn't ask any more.

After a while, several people came to the front of a huge mansion.

In front of the mansion, white silk was hung, paper money was sprinkled on the ground, and the roads on both sides were full of servants wearing linen and filial piety.

Zhang Yuan's face was slightly stunned.

Someone from the North Gate family died?

"Miss Sakura, this'''"

He looked at the north gate.

The north gate stop cherry blossoms also changed their pretty faces, quickened their pace, and walked towards the mansion.

Zhang Yuan and Su Tiandi immediately followed.
