Tianjing City, in the Lanke Building on the sixth floor.
A burly blond old man looked toward the north with his hands behind his back.
"Brother Jian," he suddenly asked after a long while, "how many years has it been since Mr. Lan suffered atrocities?"
"Seven hundred and forty-nine years." Jian Lansheng, who was sitting opposite, answered without hesitation while holding a piece of white rice.
"That year, he struck the Buddha Pass with his sword and shocked the Ci'en Temple."
Jian Lansheng dropped the white piece and pinched another black piece and murmured: "That year, Qiu Rujun cut the mountain branch, Bai Luochuan was happily married, Si Wuming forced his way into the Tao Formation Sect, and the Salan Temple was established in Weizhou."
"In that year, humans and saints united with heaven, and Qin Teng learned the sword. The golden bald man entered the pass through the clouds, and his mysterious nose rhymed with Taiyi. Gao Qunshu entered the Tianjian, Liu Zuoan left Qingyang County, and Brother Jin, you also deceived the saints at that time Hiding the sky, he transformed into three bodies."
With that said, Jian Lansheng dropped the sunspots into the plate and connected them into a big dragon in the southeast corner.
The blond old man nodded slightly and couldn't help but sigh: "Yes, a lot of things did happen that year. Now, seeing Haoran Jianqi again makes me recall the sea of memories. Hey! I'm getting old! It's been nearly a thousand years in the blink of an eye!"
The blond old man sighed and asked pointedly: "From what you can see, how far can he go?"
Jian Lansheng pinched another white stone and wrote the score on his own: "The Dao is fifty, the Tianyan is forty-nine, and one of them can escape. But this one..."
Card!
When the white piece fell, there was a sudden crisp sound, and a crack exploded out of thin air on the chessboard.
…
The sky is white at first, and the clouds are like a sea of clouds.
Kong Zheng, who had just woken up, couldn't believe his eyes. There was a long crack in the sky in front of him, and there was also a foot-wide chasm on the ground directly below. From a distance, the ruins of Taiping County were visible. One and a half.
"this……"
Kong Zheng was filled with shock and suddenly thought of his grandson. He stood up in a hurry and shouted repeatedly: "Wenjie? Wenjie!"
"Well, grandpa, I'm here." The little child responded with something in his mouth.
Kong Zheng turned around and saw his grandson Kong Wenjie sitting between Lin Tianguan and the little princess, holding a chicken drumstick and eating it with his mouth watering.
Seeing that his grandson was fine, Kong Zheng felt relieved a little. Although he didn't know what happened, he knew that it was the Heavenly Official and the Princess who saved him and his grandson.
He hurriedly came forward and saluted: "Heavenly Official, Princess! I thank you for the grace of rebirth!"
Lin Jidan waved his hand and said, "You're welcome, Master Kong. Come and have something to eat so we can get on our way."
Kong Zheng thanked him again and sat down, but the two mute slaves were nowhere to be seen. He thought to himself: "I think there was another demon attack last night. It must be Princess Tianguan who fought with the demon and destroyed the county. Those two mutes The slave... must have gone."
I just give up after having labor pains secretly. How much compassion can be tolerated in this damn world?
After a short rest, Lin Ji supported Kong Zheng, and Lu Zhaoer took the little boy and flew through the air toward the northeast.
After living for such a long time, this was the first time that Kong Zheng walked through the air. He closed his eyes tightly and was so frightened that his whole body was shaking like chaff, but he was greatly amazed in his heart: "Princess Tianguan is really having a wonderful life. ! Isn’t this a method used by the immortals to fly in the air without even touching the ground?”
But the little child was extremely excited, pointing here and there, shouting and laughing continuously.
After two sticks of incense, the four of them landed on the ground again.
A small town is faintly visible in the mountain col not far ahead.
Kong Zheng kept moving his legs, sitting on the ground panting heavily, and asked a little strangely: "Is Tianguan going to Zhanma Town this time?"
"Oh?" Lin Ji asked, "Has Lord Kong ever been there?"
"No," Kong Zheng replied, "However, there is only one place to go through this mountain col, and that is Zhanma Town."
The spiritual consciousness left on Zhang San led Lin Ji here all the way, and the bronze ring for tracing relatives left by Lei Hu also vaguely responded. Lei Hu once said that he had settled his wife and children in Zhan. Mazhen, I think it's not far away.
"Zhanma Town." Lin Jimo muttered and asked, "Are there many horse butchers in that town?"
"Not even." Kong Zheng replied, "The grain official in Taiping County was once a native of Zhanma Town. He told me that behind the town is a canyon with a dead end. The entrance to the town is narrow and covered with solid rocks. Most of the villagers used to mine Yao hunts for a living and has no horse owners, but the name of this horse-killer has another reason."
"It is said that a long time ago, a group of generals was trapped here. His soldiers were hungry and cold and could not save their lives. However, the pursuers were approaching and they were in danger. The general had no choice but to tearfully swing his sword and kill his beloved horse. Together with the other soldiers, He ate his hair like a feather. Then he used his bones as an oath to fight back, and from then on he won consecutive battles and made brilliant achievements. Later, the general built a tomb here, named the Horse-killing Platform."
"The horse-killing platform is located in a remote place, and few people come here. At first, it was just a group of soldiers left by the general to guard the sacrifices. Later, it slowly expanded to what it is today."
】
When Kong Zheng said this, he paused for a moment: "I heard that there is a strange legend in Zhanma Town. After dark, no matter what happens, you must not go out, otherwise you will be inexplicably turned into a pile of bones. . It is said that it was the war horse that became the god that governed the black sky and the underworld."
Lin Ji thought to himself: "What a miracle, it's probably caused by ghosts! And after so many years, there are still people in the town, which means that the ghosts don't have any abilities. They haven't even formed ghosts, and the people around are just rumors and fallacies." .”
A few people were sitting and resting in the woods outside the mountain col, when they saw a carriage with a black shed driving up the official road in the distance.
Not far away, the carriage suddenly stopped, turned around and walked back inexplicably.
"Huh?" Lin Ji was stunned, "Is it another Zhang Sancheng?"
He stood in front of the horse.
"Hush!"
The coachman was startled, and hurriedly grabbed the horse's head and said, "What's wrong with you..."
Before he finished speaking, Lin Ji pulled him out of the car and opened his back to take a look.
Sure enough, just like Zhang San, there was a strange curse mark under the whip marks.
There were also four or five children tied up in the carport.
"Who is this? Why did you kidnap so many children under the pressure of a curse?"
Lin Ji didn't ask any more questions. He left some spiritual consciousness on the coachman's body and turned around to leave.
Kong Zheng and the little boy had two full meals one after another, and their physical strength recovered a lot. After a short rest, Lin Ji did not take them with him anymore, but left some food for them to walk all the way to Zhanma. town.
When the grandfather and grandson walked away, Lu Zhaoer said a little strangely: "The demon has robbed so many people and still doesn't think it's enough. He still wants to arrest children everywhere. Isn't he trying to practice some evil method?"
Lin Ji shook his head slightly and said: "I'm afraid it's not that simple! It would have been very possible before! But now the Mirage Wall is in danger, and even Mingguang Mansion has suffered heavy losses. These demons are driving away the people and kidnapping young children at this time. I think... It’s also related to this! Come on, let’s go all the way to Zhanma Town to have a look.”
