The three of them settled down and found themselves in a city. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 In front of info is a restaurant, with two lanterns hanging outside, vermilion railings, and turquoise bamboo windows, which looks ordinary and nothing special.

The streets of the city are not bustling, but they are lively and full of life.

On the streets, passers-by come and go, or hurry, or stroll gently, or talk and laugh. People looked different, each busy with their own things, but the three of them were busy in a daze.

At this moment, the three of them stood on the bustling street, looking at the lively scene in the city, their eyes full of surprise and vigilance.

Jiang Ling frowned and said, "This place is very evil. ”

Niu Zhu asked, "Where is the evil sect?"

Jiang Ling said: "I can't see where the evil sect is, but it is the most evil place." ”

Su Ji felt that this place was familiar, but for a while, he couldn't say what kind of place it was. He was increasingly stunned. As far as he knew, the most difficult thing in illusion was to transform a living person, and it was simply unheard of to conjure a living person in a city like this. With a disciple who is guarding the formation, it is absolutely impossible to do it.

He originally thought that the Twelve Spirit Formation would only be carried out on the mountain, but he didn't expect to come to a real city. Compared to the empty mountain before, it is difficult to notice even if the defenders walk in front of them.

At this time, he suddenly turned crooked, and a drunk man passing by accidentally bumped into him.

Seeing the back of the drunken man leaving, I saw him take out a flat wine jug from his bosom, pour all the wine from the wine jug into his throat, choke and cough a few times, and then walked forward.

It felt extremely real, and there was still a warm touch like a living person on his shoulder, and Su Ji felt that all the people who passed by seemed to be alive. He stretched out his hand to test that all the flowers, plants, passers-by, and livestock in the city were real......

Niu Zhu whispered: "Senior sister, have you looked at treasures such as demon mirrors to see if these people are bad people?" If not, let's ask him where this is?"

"You don't need to look in the demon mirror, it's enough for me to have this. Jiang Ling casually grabbed a small trader passing by, took out a piece of golden shellfish, and said, "This is for you." ”

The vendor was stunned and did not dare to pick it up.

"Where is this?"

The little trader realized that she was asking for directions, tentatively reached out to take the golden shell, and replied, "This is the capital of the country, Chaoge." More than 200 years ago, it was the capital of the Shang Dynasty. ”

Chao Song?

Su Ji's face changed sharply, and he rushed into the tavern in front of him! Looking around in astonishment, he remembered that he had been sixteenth birthday, and it was in this tavern that a group of ruffians celebrated their birthday. At that time, Hua Tu'er was also among them, and sent a sword that could not be drawn.

That year, exactly two hundred and fifty years passed since King Wu of Zhou destroyed Shang and Jiang Taigong was crowned a god. Su Ji clearly remembered that the cold evil gate of Chaoge that winter, and even the moat outside the city that had not frozen for a hundred years, was covered with a thick layer of ice.

Although winter has turned into spring, the tavern is still the same as it was, except that the décor has completely changed and the owner of the hotel has a new face.

Niu Zhu walked into the tavern and asked, "Second Senior Brother, this is your hometown, right?"

Su Ji came back to his senses and nodded silently.

After a few years of absence, returning to his hometown, Su Ji couldn't help but feel a tingling pain in his heart. He used to have money and status, he was easy to give up, but those memories that were more bitter than sweet were like heavy shackles that could never be thrown away or shaken off.

Jiang Ling also walked over and said, "We were sent here by that copper plate, and it seems that it is an illusion again." ”

"No, it's not an illusion. Su Ji said gloomily.

Jiang Ling said, "How do you know?"

Su Ji explained: "Usually people who have illusions in their bodies don't think that they are in illusions, just like people who dream and feel that they are strange in their dreams, but they don't think that they are dreaming. ”

Niu Zhu said: "But sometimes, I also think that I am dreaming, but I just can't wake up. ”

Su Ji said: "Those who are highly skilled will be aware of illusions. However, since the second senior brother suspects that he has an illusion in his body, it means that it is not an illusion now. ”

Niu Zhu scratched his head, not quite understanding what he meant.

"The third child wants to say that your Taoism is low, and it is impossible for you to detect illusions. Jiang Ling touched Su Ji with his elbow, "It's good to pick it out directly, why beat around the bush?"

While the three of them were talking, the shopkeeper came over and shouted, "Don't stand in the way of the door!

Jiang Ling took out a handful of golden shellfish and sprinkled it on the table.

Jinbei's light was reflected in his eyes, and the shopkeeper happily exchanged a look with the hotel owner.

Jiang Ling said: "Xiao Er, drive all the drinkers away, this girl is here today!"

Seeing that the hotel owner nodded, the shopkeeper immediately did so.

Immediately afterwards, the drinkers were pushed to pay for the room and left one by one complaining.

With a cup of tea, there were only three drinkers left in the entire tavern.

Su Ji couldn't help but sigh that money is the best mirror of demons, no matter the bad guys, villains, or hypocrites, they will be exposed in front of it. A lot of people are easily bought by money, and there are not a few of them, and the hoteliers here are just such people.

Jiang Ling read the dishes on the wooden sign behind the counter from beginning to end, and he finished ordering. When the dishes were served, three tables were filled.

The diet on the mountain is light, and since the death of the master, the three of them have not been able to feast on it for a long time.

Before moving the chopsticks to eat, Niu Zhu asked, "Senior sister, where did you get so much money?"

Jiang Ling said while eating vegetables: "Money is a thing that circulates in the world. There are many ways to make money, and the fastest is the dart. ”

"Robber?" Niu Zhu said in astonishment, "Are you a thief?" or a Jiangyang thief?"

"Is there a difference?" Jiang Ling poured himself a glass of wine, "Do you think the heroes who wander the rivers and lakes, where does the money come from? You only know that they are chivalrous and righteous, but you don't know their side of stealing people's money and killing people behind their backs!"

After that, Jiang Ling and Su Ji began to drink.

Niu Zhu has never been a drop of wine, but he just watched the two of them come and go, staggered, and watched the empty wine jar piled up on the table one after another.

Seeing that the two of them were getting drunk, Niu Zhu asked, "Don't patronize and drink, what should you do about breaking the formation?"

"Breaking the formation?" Jiang Ling said in a daze: "Third child, we seem to be breaking through the formation now, is there such a thing?"

“...... Yes. Su Ji said drunkly.

Su Ji froze, put down the wine glass and said, "What should I do next?" Now that I can't even see the copper plate, can I just sit back and wait for death?"

Jiang Ling beckoned lightly.

The shopkeeper immediately put down what he was busy with and ran over to greet him: "Three guest officers, what do you have to tell the little one?"

Jiang Ling put his arms around the shopkeeper's neck and said, "Let me ask you, has anything strange happened in Chaoge City recently?"

"Strange thing?" The shopkeeper lowered his head and pondered for a moment, then suddenly looked up at the three people in front of him, and saw that they were dressed in snow-white uniforms, and said in surprise: "The three of you are not here to help catch demons, right?"

Monster hunting?

The three of them looked at each other with puzzled expressions.

The shopkeeper said: "The Wang family has recently had another evil incident. ”

Jiang Ling said: "Why do you say it...... Again?"

The shopkeeper said: "The matter of the Wang family's evil sect has not been broken since more than ten years ago. ”

"The Wang family you are talking about, but the tea merchant surnamed Wang in Chaoge, the king of tea?"

"Exactly! The Wang family has invited more than 30 mages to subdue demons, and I heard that they were all torn apart by that monster. ”

The three of them glanced at each other, and their expressions gradually became solemn.

"What kind of monster is that?" asked Suji.

The shopkeeper said: "I haven't seen it, I heard that the monster is as tall as a teenager, covered in white hair, and has a long mouth, like a wolf!"

White wolf?

The royal family in the tea?

Thinking of this, Su Ji's eyes slowly widened, and he woke up seven minutes in an instant.
