Silver Snow City.
Li Shuidao walked around the outer city and found nothing unusual.
The only possibility is the inner city.
Only members of the Zuo family can enter and leave the inner city, and outsiders are not allowed to enter or leave.
Li Shuidao didn't have the Zuo family's token on him, but he could swipe his face.
Li Shuidao gently put the bamboo hat on his head and quietly pressed his face with one hand.
The nephrite mask seemed to be alive, slowly deforming, pulling on his face, strangely changing like a gossamer.
Finally, a majestic and slightly tired face appeared on Li Shuidao's face. It was Zuo Zhongliang, the head of the Zuo family.
To be honest, this face was a little too high-profile, but Li Shuidao only remembered what Zuo Zhongliang looked like, and he couldn't remember the faces of other Zuo family members at all.
After changing his face, Li Shuidao walked towards the entrance of the inner city openly.
Before entering the inner city, you need to cross a wide and clear river. This river is the moat of the inner city and the water source of the entire city.
The monks in the inner city use the river water from the upper reaches, and the monks in the outer city use the river water from the lower reaches...
Since monks rarely defecate, even the river water upstream is very clear, but if the river water flows outside, it will be extremely turbid...
When Li Shuidao crossed the bridge, two guards stopped him.
"stop!"
"Who is coming?"
"Do you have a token?"
The two inner city guards yelled loudly, looking extremely fierce...
Li Shuidao raised his head slightly, revealing half of his face that was covered by a bamboo hat.
The two guards looked at Li Shuidao blankly as if they were struck by lightning.
They have received strict training in the family and have an in-depth understanding of every member of the family.
But the face in front of him, although only half of it, was extremely real and majestic. They stammered: "Master of the family."
A smile appeared on Li Shuidao's lips, and his voice was low and majestic: "Don't make any noise." The two guards looked at each other and immediately understood that they might have come into contact with a corner of the family's core secret...
They stepped aside in fear and held the door open. Li Shuidao slowly stepped into it.
After entering the inner city, Li Shuidao immediately pushed down the brim of his hat to cover his face even more tightly.
He walked carefully on the roads in the inner city without changing the appearance of his city lord.
This face is very useful in the inner city. If someone wants to question his identity, then Li Shuidao can only use the "Taiyin Finger" to shut him up forever.
There seemed to be nothing unusual in the memory, but Li Shuidao could faintly feel a strange call...
It was as if something was calling him.
The voice calling him seemed to come from the back house.
The back house is where Chengzhu’s female family members live...
Li Shuidao paid attention to the jade pendant around his waist and observed the surrounding environment, and slowly walked towards the back house.
The back house also has guards.
The two of them looked at Li Shuidao, who was wearing a bamboo hat, with wary expressions. They were about to step forward for questioning when they saw him taking off his bamboo hat on his own initiative, revealing a majestic face.
"Lord City Lord!" The two guards retreated one after another.
Li Shuidao nodded and walked into the backyard openly, not even planning to wear a bamboo hat.
Nothing to hide!
The key to being a leader is momentum. You must walk in the middle when you walk. If you are powerful, you will be invincible to those who stand in your way.
The maids and servants in the backyard did not dare to walk in the middle of the road. When they saw the city lord approaching, they naturally pushed him aside carefully, not even daring to raise their heads.
Of course, Li Shuidao is very likely to encounter the real owner "Zuo Zhongliang", it doesn't matter, just kill him!
As the saying goes, you have nothing to fear!
Don't be timid, this fake of his is naturally more real than the real thing.
He continued deeper into the back house, gradually approaching the inexplicable call.
suddenly.
A quirky little girl walked in front of her. The girl was dressed as a maid. When she saw Li Shuidao, her eyes immediately widened and she seemed surprised, and then she took the initiative to walk towards Li Shuidao.
The maids and servants who had just met Li Shuidao either took a detour to avoid it, or stood carefully on both sides of the road, not daring to take another look at Li Shuidao. This girl not only did not avoid, but took the initiative to step forward. It was obvious that she and the city lord were on the left. Zhongliang is very familiar...
"Lord City Lord, why are you here? My wife is looking for you!" the maid said loudly.
Li Shuidao frowned. It seemed that the "rightful owner" was probably in the back house.
However, Li Shuidao did not think that Zuo Zhongliang was a threat to him at all. He smiled slightly, nodded gracefully as the city lord and asked: "I wonder what the madam wants to see me for?"
"Madam asked me to come to you. She has something to discuss with you."
Li Shuidao smiled lightly: "Take me there."
The little maid did not doubt that he was there, so she led Li Shuidao towards the madam's room.
Li Shuidao followed slowly and soon came to the madam's room. The room was filled with a faint fragrance and filled with exquisite furnishings.
The lady was sitting by the bed with an anxious look on her face. When she saw Li Shuidao, a look of doubt appeared on her face.
"Ms. sir...are you planning to run away in this outfit?" the lady asked.
Li Shuidao is now wearing black casual clothes, but the city lord usually wears brocade clothes and does not have this kind of clothes at all.
When Li Shuidao heard this, his expression suddenly became solemn. He nodded and motioned for his wife to continue.
When the lady saw his reaction, she suddenly felt sad.
She wiped the tears from her eyes and continued: "As the head of a clan, how can you just run away? If you run away, what will happen to the safety of the family? What will happen to the safety of our mother and son?"
When Li Shuidao heard this, he thought for a moment and said softly: "Madam, I'm sorry, it's my incompetence that puts the family into this predicament."
The madam shook her head and said: "It's not your fault. If I'm to blame, it's that monster. It actually planted corpse poison on us, and we can be controlled by others at any time. But husband, how did you get rid of it?" The corpse poison on your body?"
Corpse poison! ?
When Li Shuidao heard this, his expression changed drastically. He immediately pulled his wife over and began to observe her carefully.
He first checked the wife's tongue coating and found that the tongue coating was abnormally yellow and covered with a layer of mucus.
He checked his wife's pulse again and found that it was extremely weak and seemed to stop beating at any time.
The toxicity is obviously "ice corpse poison".
This poison had already entered her body and had already permeated her internal organs. Even if Li Shuidao took action himself, it would be difficult to remove it.
Corpse poison is not only extremely toxic, but also contagious, making it very difficult...
Li Shuidao's heart sank. He had realized where the danger came from?
The poison of this ice corpse poison was familiar, and it reminded him of that strange beast.
That strange beast that can wield a sword, a beast body and a human soul, that guy is not an ordinary guy...
"How did you get poisoned?" Li Shuidao asked with knife-like eyes.
"The monster poisoned the well water, husband...didn't you tell me that?" the lady asked with a look of astonishment.
"Where is the monster now?" Li Shuidao asked solemnly.
The lady looked at Li Shuidao nervously, with a touch of uncontrollable horror in her expression. She said in a trembling voice: "You... you are not my husband? Who are you pretending to be?"
Li Shuidao pressed his finger to the big hole on Madam's chest. Her body went limp and she couldn't move.
"Tell me where the monster is now?" Li Shuidao asked in a low voice.
"Jade... Yuquan River." The lady replied tremblingly.
Yuquan River?
Li Shuidao frowned. He had an impression of the river, but he couldn't remember where it was.
"This river flows down from Yunmang Mountain, winds through Yinxue City, circulates around the inner city, flows through the outer city, and flows out of the city." The lady explained.
Li Shuidao showed a look of horror. He remembered which river the Yuquan River was. It was the moat of the inner city of Yinxue City, and it was also the water source for the entire city of monks and mortals.
Every mortal uses the water of the Yuquan River for drinking, cooking, brewing wine, and making tea...
The tea Nangong Qin drank in the teahouse today was also brewed with the monster's corpse poison.
Li Shuidao's face turned green.
"I understand." Li Shuidao pointed at Madam Tanzhong's point.
Madam rolled her eyes and passed out on the spot...
The danger is clear, it is obviously quite dangerous, and there is no chance at all.
withdraw!
A gentleman does not stand under dangerous walls and stay away from this place of right and wrong.
Li Shuidao decisively turned around and left the door of his wife's room, but as soon as he left the room and took less than two steps, the inexplicable call became stronger!
He turned to look at the garden. The summons came from the flowers in the garden...
It's very close...
That strange beast was hiding in the Yuquan River and shouldn't be in the garden. What's more, with the strength of the strange beast, it would be easy to kill him. There was no need to go to such trouble of deliberately calling out.
As the saying goes, "Blessings are where disasters lie, and misfortunes are where blessings rely." According to the theory of fate, everything in this world is a coexistence of crises, misfortunes and blessings. This is the way of heaven!
Li Shuidao's face darkened, and he decided to walk into the garden. Now that he is here, he will not waste this opportunity. Besides, the jade pendant around his waist does not emit a dazzling red light, indicating that there are no major risks in this trip.
He walked slowly to an ancient well and confirmed that the call from the bottom of his heart was coming from this ancient well.
Li Shuidao jumped down from the ancient well and floated above it.
The calm well water rippled, and a huge turtle emerged from the well.
There are nine grids on the turtle's back, which is the Nine Palace Turtle.
Penglai Immortal Sea: Nine Palace Turtle.
This monster is the companion monster of Penglai monk. There is an exact same one in Li Banxian's temple in Ink Immortal City, but that one is too small and belongs to the grandson, and this one is to the grandpa.
Li Shuidao's mouth revealed a hint of uncontrollable ecstasy: the third-order Nine Palace Turtle.
This turtle is not vicious, it even has a human and kind expression on its face.
"Are you calling me?" Li Shuidao asked.
The big turtle opened his mouth, and slowly spoke human words, saying in an old voice: "Yes, young man... you are a descendant of the Penglai lineage. It was fate that led you here, please follow your fate. Guidance, take me out of here."
