Chapter 348: The Messenger
The Acropolis is a small city in Cangzhou, although the scale is not large, it is not ranked in the whole Cangzhou, but due to the factors of geographical advantages, it is also very prosperous, and it is much more lively compared with the general deserted small city.
Among them, the Ling family is a well-known big family in the Acropolis, and even the leader of the Black Tiger Gang, who is the most domineering in the city, sees that the Ling family has to talk with a smiling face, not for anything else, because the Ling family has a Ling Qing who worshiped the immortal gate a few years ago.
On weekdays, there is an endless stream of people in front of the Ling family, and the identity of the visitors is either rich or expensive, so that people passing by can't help but talk about the influence of the Ling family.
However, just today, the Ling family closed the door, leaving two courtyards at the door to refuse all guests, which made some guests who came to visit the door and passers-by outside feel strange for a while, I don't know what happened to the Ling family today.
At this moment, in the hall of the Ling family, there was a sobbing sound everywhere, more than a dozen men and women of different ages were in tears, You'er stood next to her father Ling Yu, hugging a sister of about the same age and crying bitterly, her eyes were even more red and swollen, and large tears kept falling to the ground like pearls with broken threads.
"I'm so sorry...... Snubbed son. β
In the end, the head of the family, Ling Yu forcibly stopped his sadness, and squeezed out a smile to Huang Qidao. "Come, the tea is cold, I'll change the tea for my son. β
Knowing that Huang Qi's identity was not simple, Ling Yu neither asked the big man to call himself an old man, nor did he let the servants outside come in to change tea for Huang Qi, but personally picked up the teapot that was still hot and wanted to add a cup of hot tea to Huang Qi.
Huang Qi stretched out his hand to stop Ling Yu's movements, took the teapot in his hand, added a cup of hot tea for him first, shook his head and said, "It's okay, people can't be resurrected after death, and uncle also asks for condolences." "You'er is his sister-in-law, Ling Yu, as You'er's father, is naturally a generation higher than Huang Qi, how can he not let his elders add tea for himself.
At the same time, looking at this scene of crying in the house, he also felt a little uncomfortable in his heart, when the news of his disappearance reached the Tongzhou capital, the family was probably the same reaction.
"That's what Childe said. β
Even though he said that, the grief on Ling Yu's face did not diminish by a point, Huang Qi sighed slightly, raised his head and drank the tea.
With red and swollen eyes, Yu'er walked over.
"Brother, I'm sorry, You'er can't go to Jiangnan with you for the time being. You'er choked up and said, "My brother loved me so much when he was alive......"
"It's fine. Huang Qi stopped You'er's next words, and didn't care about the fault in her words, and said gently: "Wait until You'er is in the mood to talk, and then my brother will come to Cangzhou to pick you up in person." β
I wanted to rub her head, but I thought that after all, it was not good for so many people to be present, so I gave up my plan.
You'er pursed her lips and nodded vigorously.
After talking for a while, Ling Yu asked You'er to take Huang Qi out to play and breathe, Huang Qi knew that their family had something to discuss, so he refused You'er's kindness to take him to play, left her in the hall, and went to the backyard to enjoy the scenery under the guidance of a servant.
Walking to a pavilion by the pond, Huang Qi sat down and admired the goldfish swimming in the lake, but other things came to mind.
After the destruction of the Shenshui Palace, he sent You'er back to the Acropolis, and then he didn't plan to stay longer, he would resign later, first go back to Jiangnan's home to meet his relatives, and then go to Yunzhou to return to the Red Flame Palace to preside over the overall situation.
Huang Qi stretched out his left hand and put it in front of his eyes, in his sight, thick iron cables were tightly wrapped around his divine soul, and at this moment, even if he simply raised his hand, there was a strong feeling of tearing flesh and blood.
This is the means that the Lord of Dread has left in his soul, and it is the embodiment of his own flaws.
However, for Huang Qi, who had tempered his body with naked body skills for more than ten years in his early years, this pain was nothing.
But what puzzled him was that before the destruction of the Divine Water Palace, this situation did not occur. It wasn't until he let go of all his strength to reveal his true body and kill the projection of Shenshui Zhenjun that it began to appear.
"It's because the Lord of Fear has noticed my presence...... Or is it because you haven't completely broken free of the chains and forcibly used all your combat power?"
Looking at the terrifying black chains all over his body, Huang Qi thought in his heart.
After retrieving part of the origin of the divine soul from the other world, those chains automatically broke some, but there were only a few dozen of them, and even in the other world, those broken chains could be used by him, but there were many more chains that locked his soul rigidly.
And when he returned, it did not affect his actions in the slightest, making him think that these constraints had lost their effect because they were no longer perfect.
Now it seems that he is still naΓ―ve.
Huang Qi had a strong premonition that if he used all his combat power again like in the Shenshui Palace, this restriction would become stronger, so strong that it would seriously affect his combat power.
"Whatever the cause, it needs to be addressed as soon as possible. β
Huang Qi had a solemn look in his eyes, he didn't want to be grabbed all the time.
As for the solution...... He already had a general idea in his heart, that is, to go back to the Red Flame Palace to search for information first, and then go to the Great Song Dynasty Kyoto, although the imperial court is gradually weakening, but after all, it is still the strongest sect in the world, and there is the Huangquan Sect, a mysterious and ancient foreign cult, and the information must be much more than the original Qingyun Sect.
However, now that the origin of the divine soul is seriously damaged, there was no violent situation when the true body appeared, and the chains in these divine souls seem to have some strange effects, maybe they can be studied......
Huang Qi was thoughtful.
A gentle breeze blows, and the lotus flowers on the pond gently sway, creating a circle of ripples.
Huang Qi's eyelids trembled slightly, and he turned his head to look outside the pavilion, and in the open space outside the pavilion, there was already a figure in a black robe and a white face, who was quietly kneeling on one knee, facing Huang Qi.
It is a secret capture, and it is the peak of the Earth Yuan, and he is one step away from stepping into the top powerhouse of the Tian Yuan.
"The red ghost greets your lord. The Assassin lowered his head and said respectfully.
Huang Qi retracted his gaze and said softly: "The news of the imperial court is quite well-informed, and I found this seat so quickly." β
He only destroyed the Shenshui Palace yesterday, and only sent You'er back to the Acropolis today, and the secret arrest came to the door, and it seems that the imperial court is not as strong as it seems, and its control over Cangzhou is extremely weak.
The red ghost replied in a deep voice: "The matter of the destruction of the Shenshui Palace by the Lord has spread all over the Cangzhou Immortal Gate overnight, and it has made a lot of noise, and I am afraid that everyone in the world will know about it in less than three days, and the duty of the six doors is to monitor the sects of the world, and it is nothing to get this news." β
"Get up, what do you want to find this seat in the imperial court?" Huang Qi said.
The red ghost got up from the ground, took out a scroll from his bosom, presented it with both hands, and replied: "My subordinate is just a messenger, and the task I received is only to send this scroll, but I don't know anything else. β
In this chaotic season, with a secret capture at the peak of the Earth Yuan as a messenger, the six doors are solemn enough.
