"So just think it's for me and you'd better not go."
After being stunned for a moment, seeing that Shen Yi couldn't be moved, she simply moved her hands, grabbed one of the huge scales on his head that looked particularly like a horn, and tried to drag him forward with all her strength.
But Shen Yi's body had become smaller, but his weight had not changed. It took her a long time to get Shen Yi to move less than half a meter away.
"Get up! Can I give you the Beast Preservation Pill when you get back?"
"Old witch, let me go..." Just as he was about to break free, Shen Yi suddenly saw someone walking this way and quickly closed his mouth.
"Chu Yun, what happened to Xuan Li?"
He Jian Chuyun let go of his hand, looked at Shen Yi, then at Zhao Bingxing and Zhao Bingwen who were coming, and explained: "It's okay, he is usually very lazy, like this all the time."
"Really?..." Zhao Bingwen didn't think much about it, but Zhao Bingxing looked at Shen Yi with a little suspicion in his eyes. He was a monk who knew the order, and his five senses were very powerful and different from ordinary people. He just faintly heard something in the distance. When He saw Chuyun and her life god talking about something, and Shen Yi's deep voice that seemed to be absent, he didn't know if it was a hallucination.
"Two uncles, you go over first, it'll be fine in a moment." After saying that, she glared at Shen Yi fiercely. Seeing this, he could only stand up listlessly, and his throat would squirm from time to time, making "gu dong gu dong" sound.
"Eh?" Blind Sheng discovered Hua Dian, "Why did I subconsciously make such a sound?" Shen Yi was surprised for a moment, then shook his head.
Maybe it's a biological instinct, and you can't help but make some weird sounds to express your emotions.
"Let's go." She turned around and shouted softly. As she took steps forward, Shen Yi followed faithfully.
Seeing him like this, Hejian Chuyun nodded with satisfaction and didn't care that Shen Yi's eyes looked at him strangely again.
"Damn it, if it wasn't for your background, you old witch would have been dead a long time ago. Just wait. When you run away, you will have to kneel down and call the master..."
He thought viciously in his mind, in his mind the old witch was kneeling on the ground calling her master, looking so humiliated...
He didn't know why, but that scene made him feel inexplicably excited.
And he would not have thought that this day would come much faster than he imagined.
…
In the east of Hengzhou City, a street called "Ranxiang Bridge" has changed from its former lively scene.
There was no one on the street except for the rustling autumn wind blowing through the dead leaves.
The people were in such a hurry that the various stalls on the street had not yet had time to close.
There were no customers in front of the magnificent restaurant with bricks and tiles, and it became deserted. As if aware of the murderous intention floating in the air, the waiters in the restaurant closed the doors and windows early.
Not long after, countless soldiers wearing armor appeared at both ends of the long street, and the sound of their footsteps surrounded the entire restaurant.
"No one has come out yet?"
"A quarter of an hour has almost passed."
"Hmph, it seems that the ninth boy from Mr. Chu's family is not telling lies. There is indeed a ghost in Fenglai Restaurant. Someone is here."
"exist!"
"Break the door open for me. If anyone inside dares to resist, he will be killed without mercy!"
The man in brocade robes raised his sword and pointed at the restaurant. With an order, a dozen soldiers rushed over and knocked open the door of the restaurant. The next moment, there were several screams, and then weapons pierced into the flesh. sounds and screams.
Others followed and filed in. When Shen Yi followed Tsurumi Chuyun in, the entire restaurant had been controlled. There were several corpses lying on the ground. It was unknown whether they were innocent or guilty.
There were still a lot of people alive, but most of them were intimidated by the private soldiers sent by the four major families with long guns, and were forced to the wall without daring to move at all, while the remaining small number of people were pinned to the ground.
The sound of footsteps going up the stairs could be heard from above. It should be that other soldiers were searching the floors above.
Zhao Yanzhi ordered someone to bring a chair and sat in the middle. Not long after, a man who looked like a shopkeeper hurried over, wiping cold sweat.
As soon as he arrived in front of Zhao Yanzhi, he knelt on the ground and shouted that he was wronged.
"My lord, my lord, this is unfair. I have been doing business in Hengzhou City for many years. I have always been honest and law-abiding. How dare I do anything illegal?"
While speaking, the shopkeeper had already completely crawled to the ground, but he didn't expect that Zhao Yanzhi in front of him sneered and said jokingly: "Huh? Did I say you committed a crime again?"
The shopkeeper was stunned when he heard this and was a little confused: "What is this, sir?"
"I just heard that a spy from the Song Dynasty was hiding in your place, so I came to look for him."
"What?" The shopkeeper's expression changed drastically. Harboring spies from other countries was a serious crime of confiscating a family and exterminating a clan.
"Sir, you...are you kidding? I...how could I have the guts to harbor spies from other countries?"
Zhao Yanzhi shook his head, "It's not up to you to say that."
Thinking of the Xu family and his son who ran the mine, he bent down and said, "Shopkeeper Shi, are your ancestors from the Song Dynasty?"
What he said sounded like a question, but the decisive tone made it seem like he was asking knowingly.
As soon as these words came out, Shopkeeper Shi was immediately stunned.
"Sir, you...what are you talking about?" His eyes were filled with confusion, but it was not that he was pretending to be crazy, but that he really didn't know what the other person was talking about. He wanted to explain, but Zhao Yanzhi did not give him a chance to speak. , waved his hand back and said: "Someone, take him away."
"yes!"
The two soldiers responded, and then moved forward, holding up shopkeeper Shi's two arms and about to drag him out. At this moment, someone couldn't help it any longer, and a group of store clerks suddenly rose up and pushed the family private soldiers in front of them away. , bent his arm, and smashed the smooth wall of strength into pieces with an elbow, and there was a mezzanine behind the wall, and inside it was a two-meter-long horse-killing sword!
As soon as their hands touched the weapons, these seemingly inconspicuous store clerks used brute force to pull out the swords from the wall, and without hesitation, they swung them hard at the family private soldiers in front of them who wanted to regain control of themselves and others.
This scene happened suddenly. Shopkeeper Shi's eyes were staring with disbelief on his face. He seemed to understand something and struggled to speak.
"Sir..." But as soon as he said two words, he was already thrown out.
clang! clang! clang!
The battle between the two sides started like this, with weapons colliding with each other and making crisp sounds. Zhao Yanzhi turned his head and glanced, and stood up unhurriedly.
"Get out of the way." He waved his hands and said to the soldiers.
When they took advantage of the gap in the block to get out of the way, Zhao Yanzhi waved his hand, and the terrifying spiritual power suddenly spread out, and the tables, chairs and benches in front of him turned into powder in an instant.
The store clerks who were holding swords and fighting against the family's private soldiers didn't even have the ability to react and were knocked out on the spot.
Immediately after several spiritual blades flew out, more than a dozen people fell silent in an instant. Before the last surviving person could stand up, Zhao Yanzhi had already arrived in front of him, and his hands were shaking him quickly. He was so fast, Shen Yi was dazzled by what he saw, and he could only hear the sound of "ka ka ka".
When it was over, the last person who survived was picked up like a little chicken. His whole body was limp. His chin, hands, and feet were all removed. He couldn't even commit suicide.
"Where is the secret passage?" Zhao Yanzhi asked, but the other person's jaw was removed and he could not speak at all, so he could only stare at him.
Click.
Feeling helpless, he could only reattach the person's chin so that the person could speak and answer his questions.
But the next second after the attack, the first thing this guy did was to bite his own tongue. Blood quickly flowed out of the corner of his mouth. Seeing this, Zhao Yanzhi had no choice but to remove the man's jaw again.
Okay!
Of course, Zhao Yanzhi was not a very patient person. Seeing that this guy was obsessed with understanding, he was too lazy to talk nonsense. He pinched his neck with his backhand, pressed his other hand on the Tianling Cap, and used the Soul Searching Technique.
Ten minutes passed, and the shop assistant was lying straight on the ground, looking up stupidly.
Zhao Yanzhi's face turned pale and he was breathing heavily. After regaining his strength, he waved his hand forward and walked towards the depths of the restaurant.
"Everyone follow me."
Behind the restaurant is a simple cottage.
It seems that this is where the store clerks live, that is, the staff dormitories.
As if he had been here countless times, Zhao Yanzhi walked skillfully on the stone path between the houses, turned left and right and entered a house that seemed to have been newly built not long ago. When Shen Yi was about to follow him in, he was stopped by the old man. The witch pulled.
Looking back, she shouted: "Don't stay too far away from me."
Shen Yi stopped and didn't say anything, just watching here.
There are so many people, just think of it as a favor to the old witch.
Zhao Yanzhi didn't know what he was doing after he entered, and the sounds of things being dismantled kept coming from inside.
Not long after, powerful intellectuals from other families entered one after another, followed by soldiers wearing armor. The small house was like the mouth of a giant beast. Only people were seen going in, but no one was coming out.
After a while, only a few soldiers were left guarding outside. Zhao Bingwen walked in. He Jian Chuyun also signaled to Shen Yi and followed him inside.
As soon as he came in, Shen Yi saw an overturned bed. Most of the wall facing the head of the bed had been torn down by violent means. The inside was hollow, just big enough for one person, and people kept getting into it. Then go underground.
Tsurumi Chuyun followed at the back, and she would not make any move until everyone in front had entered.
This is a secret passage hidden inside the wall. It is very dark and has no lights, but the farther you go down, the wider it becomes. Strong men from other families gradually walked side by side with Zhao Yanzhi.
Their conversation sounded in the darkness, and Shen Yi listened quietly.
"Zhao Yanzhi, is that ancestor Shi Wangcai really from the Song Dynasty?"
"of course not."
"Then why did you speak like that just now?"
"It's just a trick to deceive those Song spies. I didn't expect them to be so restless."
"The spies of the Song Dynasty are hiding in Fenglai Restaurant. Is it possible that they don't even know the details of the shopkeeper?" A disciple of the Wudong family next to him asked aloud, but Zhao Yanzhi shook his head and frowned.
"Things are more complicated than we thought. There are many spies from the Song Dynasty who have sneaked into Hengzhou City, but they only know one part of it and follow orders. They don't know what the purpose is. There is not much useful information in the memory of the spies. They They don’t even know how many of their colleagues there are in Hengzhou City, so Shi Wang is not one of theirs, and they are not sure, they just think it was deliberately arranged for them by the superiors.”
"The Fenglai Tavern caught fire not long ago, so Shi Wang hired craftsmen to rebuild it, but the price couldn't be negotiated. I heard that another group of craftsmen were hired from Zanzhou later, and the asking price was extremely low. Could it be that the Song Dynasty spy was a spy? Did you sneak in at that time?"
"When you said that, I still remembered that the batch of craftsmen who came from Zhenzhou at that time were introduced by Xu's father and son."
"Stop talking about these useless things, Zhao Yanzhi, is it possible that these Song spies supporting evil spirits are just a cover?"
"It looks like it, at least from the way they took the body away."
"These spies from the Song Dynasty support Xie Sui. Do they want to use Xie Sui's power for their own use?" This question was asked by a slightly shorter family retainer at the back. After the words fell, the people who were talking fell silent and looked at him. His eyes were a little weird.
As soon as his mind moved, he thought of a question that everyone could think of. Finally, Zhao Yanzhi asked: "If you support a powerful evil spirit just to be able to use their power for your own use, then why does it have to be in Hengzhou City?"
Although becoming a grudge disciple requires paying a high price, it is a good way to quickly increase one's combat effectiveness. Therefore, some soldiers who fought on the battlefield have done so in the past, but there are few examples, because becoming a grudge disciple After becoming a disciple, the price of becoming disabled is only the lightest.
The body and spirit become weaker and weaker under the constant erosion of evil spirits, and finally the mind is lost and the person loses himself, goes crazy and becomes a demon, or becomes the next evil spirit that feeds on negative emotions.
And the evil spirits themselves are greedy. As time goes by, they will need more and more. Once they reach the point where they can no longer satisfy them, the person who provides them will feed the evil spirits themselves!
Once some evil spirits take hold, it will be a disaster for people!
Therefore, if you really want to use Xie Sui's power for your own use, it is only when you have no choice but to do so, and those Song spies are far from that point.
After Zhao Yanzhi's rhetorical question, everyone fell silent and felt a little panicked.
This is the inherent fear of the unknown.
One of the strong old men, whose fingers were covered with rings, seemed to feel something. A black talisman appeared in his hand. As his fingers lightly scratched it, a piece of text appeared on it out of thin air.
After reading it, he looked up and looked at the others: "There is a response from Lou Shanqing."
"What did she say?"
"The Venerable Master from Wuchuan closed his doors and did not see any visitors."
"Who are these people from Wuchuan? Our four families have been entertaining us with good food and drinks since we came to Hengzhou City, but in the end we just stood by and watched?"
"Wu Dongrong, if you really have a temper, take it out in front of that venerable man. Don't yell at us here."
"Okay, then has your head of the Lou family expressed his opinion?"
"It's not the head of our Lou family, but the heads of our four families. They have all been rejected now and are rushing to meet us."
"... Come on, we've all come here and haven't seen anyone. It seems that Chu Tingxiao is right. Those Song spies have noticed something is wrong and started to withdraw."
The team accelerated in the darkness, and Shen Yi looked at the back of Tsurumi Chuyun. He walked as fast as she walked, and at the same time prayed that they would not start a fight here.
This secret passage gets deeper and deeper, and the deeper it gets, the wider it gets. When you pass a pass, there is a large space inside. Because of the darkness, it looks like a tomb.
Everyone stopped and began to check the surroundings under the leadership of four members.
And Shen Yi smelled a faint smell of blood, which came from the entrance of the corridor in front.
Looking at the old witch, he wanted to speak, but there were too many people around him, so he opened his mouth but chose to close it.
"Forget it, let them worry about it, it's not my business, really." (End of Chapter)
