The entire space seemed to be still for a moment. No matter the upper city on the turtle's back or the twenty-seven lower cities, everyone subconsciously held their breath.
Then the beast lifted its feet.
A tiny black shadow emerged from the ground and once again blocked the giant beast.
People are excited!
The soldiers on the city wall all hit the ground with the tails of their spears.
"Wei!"
"Wei!"
"Wei!"
The invincible god of war who protects their country, the commander of the monument-bearing army Zheng Chaoyang!
The elite monks who rushed into the twenty-seventh city also quickly found out the problem while he was fighting for it.
Fighting broke out all over the city.
He looked up and saw black smoke rising from many places in the twenty-seventh city. Every black smoke represents a curse.
Judging from the scale, the curse represented by these black smokes is not powerful, but there are nearly a hundred places!
If every place represented an existence as full of hatred and malice as that white-haired old woman, then this city...
Jiang Wang couldn't help but think, as the wet nurse of the crying woman in the deep courtyard, why did the white-haired old woman have such a bone-crushing hatred?
These powers, these malices, these curses are not terrible on their own. Any Zhoutian realm monk can be eliminated independently. But once they are gathered together with some secret method, it is enough to arouse the ferocity of this giant turtle beast.
Once the power of the curse was crushed, the giant turtle beast with Baxia's bloodline was instantly appeased and returned to its original state.
But the city did not remain calm.
"Yin Guan, the lord of the twenty-seventh city, is not effective in governance, and even uses deceitful means to influence the holy beast. He has committed a heinous crime! He will be swallowed by the holy beast to pay for his crime!"
The sound was silent for a moment, and then he suddenly started drinking again.
"Damn it! Go find him!"
Obviously, what happened today was planned by the city lord named Yin Guan. And he also escaped with all the main force of Youguo!
Following the capital's order, the monks scattered in the twenty-seven cities of the lower city not only did not return, but more elite monks rushed down to the capital.
The big man giving orders in the upper city obviously believed that Yin Guan was still in the twenty-seventh city, and decided to seal the place tightly. I checked inch by inch and found out who he was.
…
"cousin!"
Jiang Wang suddenly heard a voice that was almost wailing. He followed the sound and saw that it was still the woman crying in the deep courtyard and lighting the cursed paper man on fire.
She was on the long street, her face ashen. A beautiful face full of tears.
Jiang Wang deliberately alarmed her family before, just to keep her under control so that the woman would not get confused and get into trouble again.
But I never wanted to go around in a big circle and still meet her on the street.
What a coincidence!
Moreover, her cousin turned out to be Yin Guan who caused such a big incident. He is the city lord of twenty-seven cities!
Jiang Wang felt that his head was getting big, and he turned around calmly, covering himself with the crowd.
He was just a passing visitor to Youguo and didn't want to get himself into such a big trouble.
"Beauty, what did you shout just now?"
At this moment, a man dressed completely differently from the Monument-bearing monks stood in front of the woman named Mu Qing with a smile.
Although the woman was overly sad and a little confused, she was not stupid.
As soon as he saw that this person did not seem kind, he immediately turned around and walked elsewhere.
He hurriedly explained: "No, it's nothing."
"Hey!" The man's face was not ugly, but a little greasy and pink. He was wearing a pink and white Confucian uniform. He chuckled: "It's nothing, then why are you running?"
As he spoke, he gently reached out and caught the woman's wrist without making any movement.
"Let me go!" The woman struggled hard, but failed to break free, and shouted coldly: "I am from the Zuozheng Su family in this city!"
It is different from the political system of Zhuang State. In Youguo, the city lord changes every six months. Only the best talents in a city are qualified to become the Lord of the Lower City. He has been in power for half a year.
But because the time was too short, there was actually a family in the lower city that specialized in handling mundane affairs, and that was the real core family in the lower city.
The Su family where Su Muqing lives is the Zuozheng family in Twenty-Seven City.
Of course, power is not overwhelming. Really important matters still need to be decided in the city.
The sacred beast that protects the country regularly patrols the country's borders, allowing the capital on its back to control the entire country very deeply.
In the semi-annual assessment, if the city lord performs well, he will be eligible to enter the upper city to practice as a reward. If the performance is not up to standard, they will be devoured by the sacred beast that protects the country as punishment.
Su Muqing's cousin Yin Guan is such a city lord.
"Hahahaha, the Zuozheng family?" The pink-faced man laughed, pulled her and turned around: "Then it will be easier to talk!"
"stop!"
Although Jiang Wang avoided the crowd, he had been paying attention to what was going on here.
The person who stopped him was not him, but the bitchy Xu Xiangqian whom he had met once before.
His extremely high forehead is very striking.
"In broad daylight, everything is clear! What do you want to do with my cousin?" he asked angrily.
Originally, this pink-faced man kidnapped people on the street, which made passers-by very dissatisfied. However, due to his status as an upper-city monk on a mission, they were worried that Su Muqing was indeed involved in today's incident, so they did not dare to come forward.
At this time, Xu Xiangqian came forward, and passers-by turned aside and vaguely surrounded them.
Seeing this situation, the pink-faced man showed no fear, but looked at him with contempt.
"Your cousin?" He turned around, looked at Xu Xiangqian, and smiled: "What's your name? What's her name? Where does she live? How old is she? Now, if you say the wrong one, I'll kill you!"
Su Muqing wanted to speak, but he held her chin, unable to speak.
Following his words, some monks from the nearby upper city also roughly squeezed through the crowd and surrounded Xu Xiangqian.
Only the monks wearing the uniforms of the Monument-bearing Army were still carrying out their tasks meticulously and searching everywhere.
Xu Xiangqian was stunned for a moment. He was indeed acting with good intentions, but it was impossible to truly understand Su Muqing's situation. Naturally, he couldn't answer the pink-faced man's question.
"Did everyone see it? He actually lied to me when I was performing my official duties. I wonder if it has anything to do with those heresies?" The pink-faced man laughed and turned to look at Xu Xiangqian: "I can take you right now Arrest him and lock him up for ten to eight years, do you believe it or not?"
"Come anyway!" Xu Xiangqian didn't look like a scholar and started rolling up his sleeves: "I'm afraid you won't be your grandfather!"
"I hope you can always be so sharp-tongued." The pink-faced man's smile faded and he said coldly: "This person is suspected to be related to the traitor Yin Guan. Get him!"
Amidst the chaos, a clear voice suddenly shouted: "Wait a minute!"
A man with a handsome, young face but long gray hair squeezed out of the crowd.
"Her name is Su Muqing. She lives in the biggest house on the street behind you. Turn left at the end and turn right again. Her age is the biggest one! I can't tell you her age because a woman's age is a secret. You Don’t deserve to know.”
"I'm here to testify. The person Su Muqing called her cousin was Xu Xiangqian! Is there anything else you want to ask?"
…
