Chapter 317: Eating Ghosts (4) Thank you for the book friend for "learning to use" reward!
Industry City.
Today's industrial city has been demolished, and all the famous houses in the city have been demolished.
Under the cover of night, a majestic palace was being built in the middle, like a monstrous beast, crushing all the people of the city into slavery, prostrate under the majesty of the beast.
Countless ragged slaves were struggling to climb up the palace up the winding stone stairs on their backs, which needed to be transported by hand over the unfinished palace to build a huge bath.
These slaves, until more than a year ago, were ordinary people under the direct rule of the royal family.
But with the fact that Yexian County was rewarded to Dong Chongjun by the king, it became the territory of the Lan family, and all the commoners were reduced to slaves.
The stones were so heavy that the waists of the slaves could not stand upright, like broken poplar trees.
Along the way of the slaves transporting stones, in addition to torches dancing in the night wind, there were also well-armed soldiers standing along the way.
These soldiers were dressed in beast-patterned leather armor, with a round guard inlaid with iron plates on their chests, long swords tied around their waists, and colorful feathers on their helmets that danced in the night wind.
The soldiers wore grimace masks made of black iron, and only had a pair of brutal eyes staring at the slowly crawling slaves, and they were armed with long whips, and if any slave dared to hesitate for the slightest moment, they would be whipped in the face.
Occasionally, when the children of the Lan family passed by, the soldiers bowed and saluted, and the slaves could only lie on the ground and touch their heads to the ground.
The Lan family is the true and absolute master of this land.
"Ahem, ahem, ahem, ahem......"
An old gray-haired slave was so agitated by the cold wind from high above the palace that he coughed violently, and the foot-long and wide stone on his back fell down the stone steps with a thud.
The surrounding slaves were startled and moved away from the elderly slave for fear of being implicated.
A soldier had already approached with a long whip, and he pointed at the old slave with the handle of the whip and shouted:
"Carry it up!"
The gray-haired old slave hurriedly covered his mouth, trying to stop his cough. At the same time, he tried to grab the stone from the ground, but he was too old and the stone was too heavy to lift it several times in a row.
Seeing this, Yi Bing shook his head.
"I'm sorry!" the old slave knelt down in horror and pleaded, "I'm not sick! I still have strength! I just need to rest for a while, and I can get back to work after a while!"
Ignoring his pleas, the soldiers reached out and grabbed the back of the old slave's neck, carrying him like a bundle of straw to the edge of the palace's stone steps.
The location is very high, the wind is strong, and more than ten meters below, the brazier burns on the wooden frame, and you can see a rough tent on the ground.
In the city of karma, all the female slaves who had successfully conceived were gathered in this tent, and the work was finally lightened. After all, only the continuous replenishment of new slaves can stop the consumption and loss of slaves.
The old slave was condescending, and he saw two women washing clothes between the tents, looking up at him, and then hissing and crying. The old slave recognized it as his former daughter-in-law and granddaughter.
"Please......" the old slave continued to plead as he struggled, "I have the strength to work again!
The soldier who was holding the old slave did not speak, and a murderous look flashed in the eyes of the mask.
Then the soldier let go of the hand that grabbed the old slave's neck, and the old slave fell towards the earth, like an autumn leaf blown by the wind.
A dull sound sounded more than ten meters below, and the woman's cry also came out, but it was quickly forcibly quelled by their own hands that tightly covered their mouths.
The soldier was already accustomed to all this and did not interest him.
He returned to his post, and soon his eyes showed a look of satisfaction—after making an example, the slaves finally sped up a little faster.
In the depths of the palace, in the midst of a splendid hall.
Dong Chongjun was sitting on a wide chair, clutching a wine bottle made of gold, watching the dance of the most beautiful group of slave girls in the city.
His eyes were fixed on the slave girl, but his mind was thinking about the daytime.
"Jiang Yuan......" he took a sip of wine, his eyes flashing, "How many secrets do you have?"
Dong Chongjun thought of the destruction of the Corpse Divine Dao, and that Viscount of Wei Di acted too quickly, and only on the first day of the fiefdom he exterminated the Corpse Divine Dao. I don't know when he will make a move against the Five Ghost Dao.
Be sure to keep an eye on him, this is Dong Chongjun's idea.
And he has already begun to put it into action, and soon someone will infiltrate Wei County and monitor Jiang Yuan's every move.
The three demons of the Five Ghost Dao, Dong Chongjun had long wanted to suppress them, but under the hard work, the Lan family would definitely suffer a lot of damage.
Weighing the pros and cons, Dong Chongjun could only keep pressing this plan.
As for the political rival Fei family, Dong Chongjun was not too worried.
"Marquis of Cloud Dusk," a sneer appeared on the corner of Dong Chongjun's mouth, "Your Fei family will soon know that that Wei Zi is more difficult than you think. The powerhouses of the Origin Realm, even if the Fei family and the Fang family want to kill them, they have to pay some price. ”
Marquis Yundui is the head of the Fei family and the biggest political enemy of Dong Chongjun, the two are incompatible, and the children of the two families are fighting a lot openly and secretly.
Although the strength of the Fei family is stronger than that of the Lan family, as long as the royal family still needs the Lan family for a day, they can be safe and worry-free.
In the middle of his thoughts, all of a sudden, the group of female slaves who were dancing gracefully bowed down and retreated to both sides.
Dong Chongjun raised his head and saw an old man with a bright head quickly walking into the main hall.
"What's the matter?" Dong Chongjun asked.
The old man's expression was full of nervousness and incredulity, and he walked quickly to his seat and said:
"Family master, it's not good! That guard, he made a move on the Five Ghost Dao!"
Dong Chongjun's expression was awe-inspiring, and the golden wine bottle in his hand was instantly flattened by him. So fast?
I only heard the old man continue to say:
"Just now I received news from the Xuan River that there are demons chasing living people over the boundary of Yang County. So I personally went to the Xuan River to check that it was the black man of the Five Ghost Dao who was chasing and killing Lu Junsheng. Then Lu Junsheng teleported away with an artifact, and the black man flew to the boundary of Wei County. And that Lu Junsheng has been mixing with Jiang Yuan, it is definitely Jiang Yuan who has started to crusade against the Five Ghost Dao!"
Dong Chongjun violently threw away the golden wine bottle that was crushed in his hand, got up and said angrily:
"What is he relying on?!How dare he deal with three mortal demons alone?"
The old man bowed, but his head was raised:
"Head of the house, now ......"
Dong Chongjun narrowed his eyes slightly:
Benjun felt that the guard seemed to ...... It's more dangerous than the Five Ghost Paths! Such a crazy neighbor, right next to Benjun's fiefdom, who knows what will happen...... Immediately send someone to inform Lan Chen, who is guarding the town, to come to Yecheng, and you and I will personally go to Wei County to check! If we are really going to fight fiercely with the Five Ghost Dao, then we will act on the opportunity. If necessary, let's kill them together!"
The old man nodded hurriedly: "Yes! ”
Then Dong Chongjun and the old man Haoshou walked out of the main hall together, and they took off from the city and quickly headed in the direction of Wei County.
......
Wei County.
The dark space-time that enveloped the extremely wide area was still slowly expanding at a speed visible to the naked eye.
From the original range of 200 miles, it has spread to more than 250 miles. If this continues, I am afraid that the entire Wei County will be shrouded in darkness.
And outside the dark time and space, the weaving sky net that can block a city is a little dwarfed by it.
The emerald weaving sky net shimmers in the night sky.
The Weaving Sky Net itself does not flicker, and the reason why it is flickering now is that it hesitates to be attacked by the Black Corpse, which makes the brilliance of the Weaving Sky Net constantly dim, which causes a feeling of emerald light beating.
On the criss-crossing light curtain of the weaving net, the flowing emerald brilliance was finally completely dimmed, and with the frenzied agitation of the countless long hairs of the black man, the net finally broke.
The black man laughed wildly, and there was a surge of black hair in the clump of black hair, and a face like a floating corpse soaked in water emerged from it.
The skin was wrinkled and white, sticky on it, and all the black hair grew from around the face, like countless black tentacles wriggling.
At this time, the black corpse was like a slippery and soft octopus, which was emerging from the hole that the weaving net had hit.
When Lu Junsheng saw this scene, he gritted his teeth and flew up and stopped in front of the black man.
There was still silence in the dark space behind him, and the battle between Jiang Yuan and the Shadow Laughing Wraith had not yet come to an end, and no one knew what was going on inside.
But Lu Junsheng will never miss the appointment, in his heart, the weight of the promise, it takes life to hold it.
There was a strange and cruel smile on the face of the black hair:
"Lu Junsheng, you really don't know whether to live or die! Now you don't even have the strength to escape, and you dare to stop me?"
Lu Junsheng didn't back down in the slightest, his eyes calmly stared at the mortal demon in front of him, who was countless times stronger than himself.
He had the beast spear in his hand, but he could no longer play the role of the beast spear, and he had already felt the fear of the beast spear spirit.
He remembered that the spirit of the beast spear was a demon ghost named Aunt Hong from Jiang Yuan.
As the black coffin drilled out, the beast spear began to tremble violently, and it was about to break free from Lu Junsheng's hand and flee at any time.
If the beast spear could attack on its own at this time, it might be able to hold back for a while, but now the beast spear is completely frightened.
Lu Junsheng sighed slightly in his heart, demons, ghosts, sure enough, he still can't be trusted!
Seeing that the black net was about to get out of the broken net, at this time, he saw that the weaving sky net that shrouded the earth suddenly contracted, turning into a large net more than ten meters long and wide and wrapped around the black net, and caught the black net.
The black man roared in anger again, and the black hair swelled violently, trying to break the weaving net.
The weaving sky net itself had already been hit hard, and at this time, it was attacked by the black corpse with all its might, which suddenly caused the emerald brilliance on it to disappear rapidly, and it was about to disappear completely.
This made Lu Junsheng stunned:
"You, you're ......"
Princess Youyue controlled the weaving sky net and was still desperately netting the black net at this time, which may be able to delay for a while, but it will only lead to one result, that is, the weaving sky net will be completely destroyed by the black net, and the spirit inside will definitely be scattered.
The voice of Princess Youyue came from the weaving net:
"Lu Junsheng, people like you are destined to do greater things, you shouldn't die like this, your fate shouldn't be like this. ”
Lu Junsheng shook his head:
"I don't know what my fate is, I just know to give it my all and wait for my fate to be revealed...... Run for your life. ”
The weaving of the sky net did not loosen in the slightest:
"Remember the promise you made to me!
Subsequently, the weaving net of the sky became more and more tightly entangled in the black coffin.
And the black man was completely furious.
