Chapter 54: The Lord of the City
"You really deserve it!
"It's so happy! As soon as you look at this kid, you know that Lu Dao is not a good person!"
"That's right! Maybe he's a spy sent by the Hong family!"
......
"......" Lin Fan was carried all over the street by the guards in silver armor with a black face, as if he was marching through the streets.
"Aren't you flying, why are you dragging me away?" Lin Fan really couldn't help the eyes of everyone on the street, and asked the guard in silver armor, he felt that the other party was deliberately embarrassing him.
"It's not far! there's no need to fly!" replied the guard in silver armor grimly.
The silver-armored guards did not deceive Lin Fan, he took Lin Fan out of the bustling downtown and entered the corner of a street, in front of which was a quiet mansion, and in front of the mansion were two white jade pillars painted with dragons engraved with mysterious talismans, highlighting the noble identity of the owner of the mansion.
"Go in! the city lord is waiting for you!" the silver-armored guard said coldly, as he took out a jade plaque and knocked on the red door of the mansion engraved with sigils.
"City Lord?" Lin Fan was puzzled, he figured out that the other party didn't want to investigate the destruction of Dingyuan City that day, but Lin Fan still couldn't figure out how a small person could be concerned by the city lord of Dingyuan City and even have to meet him.
"It's really extravagant!" The silver-armored guards led Lin Fan through the pavilions and rockery pavilions, and brought him to the quiet pavilion.
"Let him in!" A majestic voice came from the small pavilion, and from this voice, it could be judged that the other party's cultivation was unfathomable.
The silver-armored guards tore off the rune paper attached to Lin Fan's head, and removed the rune seal chain that bound Lin Fan's hands, Lin Fan was finally free, and the feeling that the primordial gods were blocked was very uncomfortable.
"Let's go inside!" the silver-armored guard said coldly, and then stepped back and left the small pavilion.
"Squeak......" Lin Fan pushed open the wooden door, only to see the immortal cultivator wearing the Pixiu pattern gold armor sitting behind a desk reading the scroll.
"Are you the city lord?" Lin Fan asked, looking at the immortal cultivator wearing the Pixiu pattern golden armor, a little hard to believe.
"That's right, but I'm the deputy city lord, and the big city lord has gone back to the family. The immortal cultivator wearing the Pixiu pattern golden armor turned around and faced Lin Fan.
Lin Fan was stunned, the pupils of the deputy city lord of Dingyuan City were different from the golden yellow of ordinary people, but different from the golden yellow of foreigners, it was a golden gold with a metallic luster, and there was a pair of small yin and yang fish rotating in the center of the golden pupils, which looked mysterious and extraordinary.
"Don't be surprised! I'm a half-demon, a descendant of humans and demons. The deputy city lord explained.
"Oh! it's human...... Oh, it's a half-demon!" Lin Fan almost said the wrong thing, and the deputy city lord suddenly glared at him, making Lin Fan tremble, as if he had fallen into an ice cave, and he quickly changed his words.
"You're not simple, you've actually provoked Heavenly Punishment!" the deputy city lord looked at Lin Fan and said slowly.
"Unlucky!" Lin Fan spread his hands and said helplessly, now that cloud of calamity is still in the sky, and it does not dissipate at all.
"Tell me your name, where are you, and how did you provoke this heavenly punishment?" the deputy city lord suddenly changed to a serious expression and asked.
"Lin Fan, a native of Yongzhou! I don't know how this heavenly punishment came about. Lin Fan replied, if he wanted to get away with it, he couldn't just leak the secrets of Devil's Crying Ridge.
"Really, you've been to Devil Cry Ridge, haven't you?" said the deputy city lord, his nose moving, as if he had smelled something.
"Sure enough, it's a monster! I can smell it!" Lin Fan shouted, it was a confession, of course he wouldn't tell the matter of the Tongtian Jade Steps.
"I've been to Devil's Cry Ridge and can come back alive! It's not easy! Which old monster's disciple are you?" The deputy city lord subconsciously judged that Lin Fan was a disciple of a hidden powerhouse.
"I can't say that, but I have something here that the lord is interested in. Lin Fan said neither humbly nor arrogantly, keeping the mystery at least can make people dare not easily manipulate him, Lin Fan still has a "heart of defense" for this deputy city lord and even more people.
"Oh, what is it?" the deputy city lord showed an interested expression, he really couldn't think of anything Lin Fan could show him.
"That's it!" Lin Fan took out the jade plaque given by a white-robed old man when Wang Yan'er was parting that day, and heard that the person who held the jade plaque would be treated the same way as the Wang family treated Keqing.
"It's actually the Great Elder Order!" the deputy city lord showed a look of surprise, he really didn't expect that what Lin Fan gave him would be this.
"Those who hold the elder order will be regarded as important guests of my Wang family!Please take a seat!" Although the deputy city lord did not know Lin Fan's identity, this elder order made him dare not slack off, and he hurriedly motioned for Lin Fan to sit on the carved wooden chair on the side.
"I knew that this thing was so useful, so I took it out earlier, causing me to sleep on the street for a night. Lin Fan scratched his head and said, he really didn't take this jade medal seriously before, and he took it out just now when he suddenly remembered it.
"The Elder Order is proof of the highest treatment of my royal family's guests! Of course, the effect is huge, even if the big city lord sees you, he must treat you as a guest. The deputy city lord said.
"So I can eat and drink in your City Lord's Mansion?" Lin Fan suddenly asked with a light in his eyes, looking like a starving ghost.
"Hehe! this is nature!" said the deputy city lord with a smile generously.
"It doesn't matter how long Lai lasts?" Lin Fan continued to ask, but he just thought that Lai would leave after he was here.
"As long as you have the Elder Order in hand for a day, you can stay here for a day. The deputy city lord said with a smile, but with the financial resources of the behemoth of the Wang family, he really didn't care about providing three meals a day for one more person.
"That's good! Your Dingyuan City is waiting to be eaten by me!" Lin Fan joked, even if he was given another ten years, he wouldn't be able to eat this Dingyuan City.
"I want to know how you got this jade medal. The deputy city lord smiled, and then asked the main question.
"Oh...... This one...... What's this...... It was an old man in a white robe who said that my Yin Tang was full of bone essence and strange to ordinary people, and I would definitely be a big man who saved the world in the future, and I was happy when I heard it, and then under his recommendation, I spent five cents to buy this jade plate. Lin Fan said with a snort, not wanting to answer this question.
"Oh, is it?" the deputy city lord smiled, and seeing that Lin Fan was unwilling to answer, he didn't ask anything more.
"The calamity cloud above your head has not dispersed, this is not a solution, I suggest that you let it split and split the yin and evil qi contaminated on your body, and this calamity cloud will naturally dissipate. The deputy city lord pointed to Lu Shang and said.
"There's no other way, Deputy City Lord, can't you help me force out the evil qi if your mana is all over the sky?" Lin Fan said with a bitter face, he didn't want to taste the taste of being struck by lightning again.
"No, the yin and evil qi are unpredictable, and only the power of pure yang can dispel them. The deputy city lord shook his head and said.
Lin Fan's face suddenly turned unpleasant, who knows if the evil aura will dissipate after the next split? If he splits Lin Fan a few more times, he won't be able to stand it.
"Okay, think about it yourself! It's really not good, the thunder talisman in my city lord's mansion can still help you block it, but it is estimated that you will have to withstand this dark cloud in the future." The deputy city lord smiled.
"Then I'll take two slashes!" Lin Fan said with a bitter face.
"You have good qualifications! You are also a guest of my royal family, and you can also come and ask me if you have any problems with your cultivation. The deputy city lord said with a sincere face, but he didn't pretend.
The deputy city lord then arranged a comfortable pavilion for Lin Fan to live in temporarily, and invited him to a banquet in the city lord's mansion in the evening.
"Ahh
"Look there! That dark cloud is in the City Lord's Mansion, and the kid who lacks virtue and was struck by lightning has been caught in the City Lord's Mansion!" Someone on the street in the distance pointed to the conspicuous dark cloud above the City Lord's Mansion and shouted, attracting many onlookers, but fortunately Lin Fan couldn't see this scene, otherwise he would have to be angry.
"It seems that I'm still not used to it!" Lin Fan lay down for a while, and then continued to meditate and practice, from retreating between the mountains and wilderness to now being in the hustle and bustle of the world, he needs a process of adaptation, and needs to go through the hustle and bustle of the world to experience his state of mind.
When night falls, Dingyuan City is still brightly lit, and the city lord's mansion is even more lively, a banquet is being held here, and many strong people in Dingyuan City are invited.
Lin Fan was also invited, and with the mentality of "don't eat for nothing, don't eat", Lin Fan also went to participate in this banquet.
However, Lin Fan soon found that he was embarrassed, there was a long dragon-like table banquet in the golden hall, and the celebrities of Dingyuan City who were dressed in gold and jade greeted each other in twos and threes.
"I don't know it!" Lin Fan muttered to himself, he regained his state of mind, and his heart was as calm as a realm. In the crowd of people dressed in gold and jade, he was wearing the apricot-colored yin and yang Tai Chi robe, which was so ordinary and so conspicuous.
"This man?"
"Why did a little Taoist priest come to the city lord's mansion, who invited him?"
"This person's cultivation is also so low, how did he get in?"
......
Everyone cast contempt, doubt, surprise and other complicated eyes, looking at Lin Fan, who was like an ugly duckling in a flock of swans.
"Ha! Vice City Lord, hello!" Lin Fan saw the Deputy City Lord wearing Pixiu Pattern Gold Armor standing in the middle of the crowd, he waved his hand and shouted hello as if he had met an old friend.
Lin Fan shouted, the whispering voices around him suddenly disappeared, and more eyes fell on Lin Fan, the scene suddenly became embarrassing, and Lin Fan stood there at a loss for a while, looking at everyone's strange expressions.
"Why is this man like this!
"Those who shout, shame on the city lord's mansion!"
......
For a while, the sound of discussion rose, making Lin Fan's face red. He seemed to be too casual just now, after all, the celebrities and powerhouses invited to this banquet were all celebrities and powerhouses in Dingyuan City, and it was still very formal.
"Where did the little Taoist priest in the yellow robe come from, and he didn't even think he could call my father a brother and sister!" a sharp and clear voice came from the crowd, and it sounded like a proud lark chirping.
