Walking in the sky, more than half a month, following the instructions of the Demon Emperor's treasure card, unconsciously the two of them have crossed Fenzhou and came to Dianzhou, on this road, they are in a hurry during the day, rest at night, and if they come to an inaccessible place, they will deal with a night in the wild.

Unlike Fenzhou, Dianzhou is mostly poor and bad, so its economy is at the bottom of the eight major states. It is also because of the poor mountains and bad waters, the people's customs are fierce, and if something is wrong, they will draw their swords against each other, so they are rich in elite soldiers, which are the so-called Nandian soldiers. To the south of Fenzhou is the territory of the neighboring earthquake, and most of the soldiers guarding the frontier are selected by the locals. Over the years, there have often been large and small wars on the border, and the repeated attacks of Zhenguo have been repelled by the Dianzhou soldiers.

It is easy to breed bandits and spirits between the mountains and rivers, and Yu Ne has encountered a lot along the way, as long as it does not offend them, he will not take the initiative to provoke them. After several joint efforts, the cooperation between Yu Nie and Zi Lingyan has become more and more tacit, and the relationship has become more and more harmonious.

On this day, the sky was gloomy, and the atmosphere between heaven and earth was a little heavy, and the two of them were hurrying with their edges. Yu Ne looked up at the rain clouds above and said, "Purple girl, this rain cloud is very large, with our speed, I am afraid that we will not be able to leave before the rain, it is better to find a place to stay, and wait for the rain to stop before leaving." ”

Zi Lingyan glanced at the rain clouds and saw that they were close to the center, so he said, "Okay." "Although Edgeworth's flight looks very chic, it is very boring to use it on the road, and it is very boring after a long time.

At that moment, the two lowered their flight altitude and flew nearly a hundred miles when they saw a small city in the distance. Zi Lingyan said: "Okay, let's rest there today." ”

"Hmm. ”

Neither of them wanted to attract too much attention, so when they were still a few miles from the town, they descended and walked into the city.

There were two rows of soldiers guarding the city gates, all with serious faces, and everyone who entered the city was examined extremely carefully. It was Yu Nie's turn to be the two, Zi Lingyan's clothes looked either rich or expensive, holding an extraordinary sword in his hand, Yu Ni was wearing a Taoist robe, and there was a whisk on his arm, which was not easy to provoke at first glance, and when Yu Ni handed him a piece of silver, the soldiers guarding the city let them in without asking too much, but when they left, they confessed that it was best not to go out at night.

The soldiers defending the city regarded them as people from the rivers and lakes and did not dare to provoke them, but they were different from other people, strictly interrogated, and made things difficult in every way.

"Something doesn't seem right here," Yu Nie tilted her head and whispered to Purple Lingyan. Purple Lingyan looks absolutely beautiful, although it is a little colder, but in other places, it will almost cause a lot of sensation, but although there are people here who will look twice, but there is no phenomenon of stopping to watch, thinking that the soldiers guarding the city at the gate of the city are much more important than other small cities, something must have happened in this city.

"Well, it's a little different. ”

Pedestrians along the way are in a hurry, even the hawkers' shouts are also with some trills, some are weak, and the intuitive feeling of the whole street is weird.

On the gray-white street, paved with bluestone bricks, each of which is the size of a face plate, the two walked for a while, and an inn called "Mingxiu Yuan" appeared in front of them. Zi Lingyan's personality is relatively cold, and when dealing with people, this kind of thing is up to Yu Ni to come forward, and then they are arranged by the store to live in the best back garden.

This Ming Xiu Garden is quite large, there are four annexes in the back garden, the two of them live in the East Garden, each of them has a house, and after the two look at the house, they go to the front of the restaurant to eat.

Mingxiu Garden has its own restaurant, located on the most prosperous street in the city, and two women are hired to sing songs in the hall on the first floor, but it is quite deserted.

A girl in Tsing Yi is good at standing crisply in the empty space, her voice is tactful, and there is a middle-aged woman playing the pipa on the side, looking at the appearance of the two, nine times out of ten they are mother and daughter.

The girl sang Zheng Sayi, and Zheng Sayi talked about the poignant love between the general and the fox girl in the mountains.

Playing and singing, it is quite expressive, but unfortunately there are not many drinkers present, less than twenty people in bits and pieces, and there are not many literati who can understand, and the rest are rough people, turning a blind eye to the two girls, and there are not many rewards.

The first floor was already very deserted, not to mention the second floor, Yu Nie simply didn't go up to the second floor, and found a clean place to sit on the first floor with the purple spirit smoke. Although they are people who cultivate immortals, but immortals are also human beings, during this time, sometimes they spend several days in the barren mountains and mountains, so it is always good to get a little popularity, at least to be lively.

The dark red wooden table soon served a table of wine and food, most of which were vegetarian, Zi Lingyan loved to eat fish, and Yu Nie ordered a saliva fish.

The dishes on the table are full of flavor and aroma, and people can't help but whet their appetite. Yu Ne said, "Let's eat." "Just take it, first clip a chopstick snow lotus, put it in your mouth, and then take a sip of fruit wine, the faint fruity aroma is mixed together, very refreshing.

Zi Lingyan looked cold and arrogant, without the slightest expression, only nodded lightly, but when she picked up the chopsticks and picked up a piece of saliva fish, the snow-white fish meat was stained with red red oil. When you bite into it, the fragrance is overflowing and your saliva is overflowing. Then her eyes lit up, her hands quickened, and she ate quickly. The chef of this inn is a good skill, the color of this saliva fish is bright red, spicy and fragrant, and the fish used is also carefully selected whitebait in the lake, and the meat is fresh and tender.

Yu Nie watched Purple Lingyan eat a lot regardless of his image, and couldn't help but be a little funny, he only ate a few bites, and half of this water fish had been wiped out by Purple Lingyan. He didn't hesitate and joined the ranks of grabbing vegetables.

When the last piece of fish was snatched into her mouth by Zi Lingyan, she put down her chopsticks with satisfaction, her lips were shiny, and she looked up just in time to bump into Yu Nie's eyes that seemed to be smiling, and suddenly her face was red, and her face was slightly hot.

"Sorry, gaffe. ”

She pretended to be calm and said, took out a brocade handkerchief, and carefully wiped the red oil on her red lips.

Yune smiled, didn't speak, and began to listen to the music quietly.

At this moment, a group of people suddenly walked in with the sound of wind and rain outside the gate of the inn.

A group of strong men in short and energetic suits walked in one after another, and found a table near the corner and sat down.

These strong men looked like people in the rivers and lakes, and each had a straight knife on their waists.

The strong man at the head was a bald head, with copper studs, and a face full of meat, he put the hat on the side of the table, and sighed: "I can't live this day." ”

"What is the eldest brother worried about, it's just a case of extermination, we are just assisting the yamen to do things, even if we don't find anything, the county magistrate can't say anything. Another man frowned.

"Yes, if it weren't for the fact that the eldest young master of the Sun family who was destroyed was our disciple of the master, it was just a matter of destroying the sect, how could we still ask us to come out to find clues. A man took a sip of wine and gloated, "The real worries should be those who catch fast, but the county lieutenant only gave them a week, and now it's the fourth day, but there is still no clue at all." ”

"In my opinion, most of them are strongmen passing by, and if they kill someone, they will leave, and where to find them. ”

"This time, we have joined forces in black and white, I'm afraid it's not as simple as you think. The horizontal flesh on the bald face trembled, and his expression became even more worried.

"You don't know, the death of everyone in the Sun family is weird, those people have two big holes on the side of their necks, and the blood in their bodies has been sucked dry and turned into dry corpses, the Sun family has a total of one hundred and three people from top to bottom, people and livestock, except for the second young master whose life and death are unknown, they are all in such a state of death. The bald head seemed to think of something bad, and his face turned blue, "I followed the deacon in that day to have a look, and I had a nightmare for two days. ”

"In my opinion, I'm afraid it wasn't done by people. The bald head looked at each of them one by one, and said slowly in a low voice.

Everyone was furious at the bald eyes, "Isn't it a human being, is it a demon?" said a man who shrunk his neck.

Another person said thoughtfully: "Maybe it's not the demon, but the people who practice demonic skills, there is no shortage of people who practice evil skills in the rivers and lakes, and many exercises need to suck blood, maybe the Sun family is the one who encountered this kind of evil sect." ”

The bald head sighed: "Whether it is a demon or an evil person, it is not something we can provoke." ”

"Yes, boss, what are we going to do? If we don't do anything, we won't be able to eat and walk around. There was a strong man who was a little worried.

The bald man smiled and said, "We just follow the order, if we really want to find any clues, we just need to report it, so we don't look for it, we have a headache for the deacon and the government." ”

It's not that they are cowardly, it's just that this kind of thing is not something they can handle, and it is human nature to seek good fortune and avoid evil.

"Having said that, I'm afraid that the murderer will commit it again, so brothers, be careful and withdraw when you see that the situation is not good. The bald man drank a bowl of wine and solemnly explained to everyone, these people had been with him for so long, and he didn't want them to lose their lives for nothing.

"Of course", "Of course" Several men looked at each other and smiled, and raised their wine bowls and said loudly, "We all listen to the boss, respect the boss for a bowl!"

People are drifting in the rivers and lakes, and it is very important to follow the boss, who doesn't want to have a boss who loves his subordinates.

The bald man raised the wine bowl: "Dry." ”

Then there was a big bowl of drinking, a large piece of meat, laughter and scolding, and the deserted restaurant suddenly became lively.

Yu Nie's table was not far from them, although they deliberately lowered their voices when they talked before, but Yu Ni and Zi Lingyan were both monks, how could they hide from their ears and eyes and hear clearly.

After they finished speaking, Yu Ne also listened, and the rest was some inconsequential sea kan, at this time, Yu Nie and the two understood the origin of the atmosphere in the small city, there was a tragedy, and everyone was in danger, this kind of thing is appalling, if it is not broken for a day, who can rest assured.

figured out the source of the wrong atmosphere in the town, and after singing the dress, Yu Ni didn't plan to sit anymore, and went back to the room after rewarding the singer with a little spare money.

As for Zi Lingyan, she didn't care about this kind of thing, and she would have gone back a long time ago.
