The night was hazy, the moon and stars were sparse, the lights were flickering, and the silent courtyard seemed even more lonely and desolate.
The group of people arrived at the entrance of the main hall. A gold-plated plaque with the words "Shenlong Pavilion" hung above the main hall. The man in white clasped his fists at everyone and signaled them to wait here. He turned around and walked in quickly.
Xu Feng and the three of them looked at each other and felt uneasy in their hearts: the appearance of the man in white was too strange. He just said that their whereabouts had been discovered by him. So, their every move was under his surveillance. But when they were exposed, instead of taking action, the man said that his master invited him. This sudden change was really unpredictable.
What kind of medicine are these people selling in their gourds? They can only wait and see what happens after meeting this mysterious hell sect master.
Everyone's whole body is tense, thinking about what is going to happen? Whether it's a blessing or a curse, they have no choice but to bite the bullet and continue.
After a while, the man in white slowly walked out, clasped his fists at everyone and said, "Everyone, my master has invited me, please come with me!" There was always a slight smile on his face, and a strange light flashed in his eyes.
Xu Feng adjusted his sleeves slightly, glanced at Lei Zhentian and Luo Xiangxue, and followed the man in white into the hall.
There is an iron crane incense burner in the middle of the hall, with incense candles burning in the burner, and wisps of green smoke floating in the air. The four walls are carved with images of mountains, flowing water, colorful purples and reds, and pictures of flying ladies in all their graces. Two giant dragons hover above the main hall, majestic and seemingly ready to soar into the sky.
The man in white led everyone over the eaves of a door and came to a long corridor. The long corridor was winding and extended to a spacious wing in the west corner. The man in white stopped outside the wing, turned around and smiled at everyone: "This is it, everyone, please!" After saying that, he strode in, and everyone followed suit and walked in hesitantly.
After entering the wing, everyone couldn't help but be stunned because they suddenly saw a surprising scene: eight people sitting around the room, four people sitting on each side of the room, and a tall and majestic old man sitting directly above him, wearing a long green gown. , with a broad forehead and a round face, a light goatee hanging under the chin, and a high bun on the top of his head with a silver hairpin. He was said to be an old man, but he looked about fifty years old, so he didn't look too old. But there was a long scar from the center of his eyebrows to the bridge of his nose, and one eye was covered with a piece of black cloth. Apparently that eye was blind. His beard was gray, but the other intact eye was flashing brightly. .
This person is undoubtedly the leader of Hell Gate.
Seeing the man in white leading three people in, everyone in the room turned their eyes. Three of the eight people were familiar faces: Liu Ruyan, Chu Yunfei and Zhao Qingzhu!
Xu Feng, Lei Zhentian, Luo Xiangxue, everyone could not help but widen their eyes. In addition to shock, their eyes were filled with joy. The three people looked at each other with half-smiles on their faces, and they were suddenly filled with excitement. It turned out that what the man in white said was true. The hell sect master really treated them like guests. He actually had a gentle face and chatted and laughed with the three of them.
Such a scene is completely different from what they imagined, and it is really unbelievable!
Luo Xiangxue's heart was pounding even more. She never imagined that she would meet Liu Ruyan and the others in such a way.
Seeing Liu Ruyan sitting there intact, she couldn't hide her excitement. She was about to speak, her lips opened slightly, but suddenly she felt something was wrong, and she swallowed the words. The big round eyes are full of bright joy.
Liu Ruyan was stunned on the spot, looking at her intently, inexplicable surprise, as if her mind was a little dazed. After being stunned for a long time, she finally came out of her daze and said with excitement: "Xiangmei, why are you here?" As he said that, he looked at Xu Feng and Lei Zhentian: "Uncle Xu, Uncle Lei, didn't you expect that everyone is here?"
Chu Yunfei, a layman from Nanshan, looked at the three people with a bleak face. His lips trembled slightly. His eyes were all on Xu Feng and Lei Zhentian. He suddenly smiled and shouted excitedly: "Brother Xu, Brother Lei, don't want to Are you here too?" He said "Aha", and then his eyes turned from bright to cloudy, and his face showed a touch of sadness.
Xu Feng fixedly looked at Chu Yunfei, as if there was a ball of fire burning in his eyes. He frowned and cried out: "Second brother, is it really you? You have suffered a lot!" His face was filled with excitement. His skin and flesh trembled slightly, his eyes filled with eagerness.
There was a smile in Chu Yunfei's eyes, and tears seemed to well up from his cloudy eyes. He shook his head slightly and murmured: "Brother, are you and your sister-in-law and niece okay after all these years? We haven't seen each other for many years. , I didn’t expect to meet each other under such circumstances! It’s great, it’s great!”
At this time, the one-eyed old man sitting in the upper seat slowly stood up, with a smile on his face, waved to the big man standing aside, and said slowly: "Come, give some seats to the guests!" The two sturdy men Three wooden chairs were brought and placed in the hall.
The one-eyed old man smiled slightly and said, "Everyone, please take a seat!"
The one-eyed old man actually treated each other with courtesy, which was completely different from what they had guessed before. Xu Feng and the other three were quite flattered, and became more and more embarrassed. They didn't think much at the moment and sat down.
They never dreamed that when they broke into the gate of hell, not only were they not rounded up, but the master here treated them with courtesy, and everyone felt in a trance.
The one-eyed old man said: "You three don't have to be formal. Since you have come to my hell gate, you are the guests here. The purpose of the three of you coming here is already clear to me. Let me introduce it to you." He came to Chu Yunfei. In front of him, he looked at him and smiled and said: "This is my sworn brother and my savior, Nanshan layman Chu Yunfei."
As soon as these words came out, everyone present was surprised. No one could have imagined that this old man whom he captured all the way from a thousand miles away was actually his own savior, and he was treated like an elder brother. Everyone's face showed confusion. The look on his face showed that these two people actually had such a friendship! Since they were brothers and friends, why did they come all the way to drag him here? Such an approach was clearly unreasonable. Although everyone was confused, no one dared to ask a single word.
The one-eyed old man seemed to notice everyone's doubts, walked around and smiled: "I don't know if you have heard of a saying, there are no eternal friends in this world, but there are eternal enemies. In fact, things in the world are ever-changing, and friends can It's hard to become an enemy, but it's hard for enemies to become friends. I wonder if you all agree?" He said slowly, an extremely strange light suddenly appeared in his eyes, and this cold gaze made people shudder.
Xu Feng stared at the one-eyed old man with great vigilance, especially his fingers and limbs, as if a deadly hidden weapon might be launched from him at any time.
The night was getting late, the night was as cold as water, the stars and the moon were still bright, but the atmosphere in this room suddenly became solemn and strange.
There is even an invisible, colorless and odorless murderous intention filling the air, and an invisible weapon is approaching everyone's throat.
The one-eyed old man glanced at the people in the hall, suddenly laughed out loud, and then said: "Oh, I'm sorry, everyone, I forgot to introduce you." His eyes suddenly turned to Xu Feng and Lei Zhentian. These two people are Xu Feng and Xu Daxia, who live in Hongqin on the Mingyue Peak of Cuihua Mountain. Xu Daxia was famous all over the world in the past. You must have heard about it, right? This other one, if I guessed correctly, must be the martial artist known as Taihang Jin. The gun-like Thunder Zhentian, Lei Zhuangshi? Lei Zhuangshi swept away the Taihang gang Qianli Lang with an iron gun in his hand. This feat caused a sensation in the martial arts world of the Central Plains. Everyone has heard of Lei Zhantian's fame, right?" he said. He was clear-headed and looked at everyone with his eyes from time to time.
Everyone in the hall, except Chu Yunfei, Liu Ruyan, Zhao Qingzhu and Luo Xiangxue, all looked at Xu Fenglei Zhentian with admiration and admiration.
Xu Feng murmured in his heart: This one-eyed old man knew all about himself and Brother Lei, and treated him with courtesy, but he couldn't guess what kind of medicine he was selling in his gourd? It is not appropriate to act rashly now, so we have to wait and see what happens.
Luo Xiangxue sat diagonally across from Liu Ruyan, her eyes never leaving his body from beginning to end. She really couldn't figure out why the Lord of Hell would treat them like this? While on the road, the words of the fellow villagers all showed their hatred and fear of Hell Gate. This is enough to show that this group of people has a bad reputation, but it is really strange that they behave so peacefully and lightly this time. very.
Is it possible that this is just a Hongmen Banquet that has been carefully planned?
Now that I'm here, I can't care about so much anymore. Even if it's really a cruel trick, I can only go ahead with it.
Xu Feng's heart was full of questions, but he didn't know how to ask them. After a long silence, he finally said: "Your Excellency knows so much about us, I'm really surprised. If I'm not wrong, If so, is it possible that you are the head of the Hell Sect?" He said that the head was obviously out of etiquette, and it was to save enough face for the other party. Since ancient times, among the decent sects in the world, only those who dare to claim to be the head are recognized In the eyes of the so-called famous and decent sects, they are just a group of rabble-rousing people occupying the mountains and plains.
The one-eyed old man stroked his gray beard under his chin and said seriously: "It's the old man!" His eyes showed a cold and mysterious light.
