Crack, crackle.
The wood in the fire crackled and made a crisp sound. The roasted beast meat on it was stained with blood, so it was taken off and eaten by people.
If you look carefully, you can see that the back of the meat-eating man's hands are also covered with bristles, which look like nothing ordinary.
Hu Yandong and Hu Yanbin, father and son, had long bronze nails nailed to their bodies, which were engraved with talismans and inscriptions. They completely suppressed their cultivation and sat aside obediently.
There were four or five giant half-demon standing aside, holding magic weapons and sharp blades, watching their every move.
Following the sound of footsteps, Lu Jiangtong's sinister figure came over again, carrying a large beast's hind leg in his hand.
"City Lord, Young City Lord." He smiled with his trademark sarcasm, "You really don't want to eat a little? No matter how high your cultivation level is, you still need to have spiritual replenishment when you are injured."
"No need." Hu Yandong shook his head.
"Are you worried that we might have drugged it?" Lu Jiangtong said as he tore off the hind leg meat in one bite and swallowed it into his stomach after a few times. Then he said: "Don't worry, we Mangshan people can't be in the food." It’s such a waste of manipulation.”
After a pause, Hu Yandong raised his eyes and looked at him: "I'm very curious, since you are so depressed, where did these resources and magic weapons come from?"
A group of rebels were chased by the imperial court and fled in all directions. Hu Yandong never dreamed that Taotie City would be breached by these people. Even if they were to attack Red Cotton Peak, they would only want to risk their lives to cause some chaos.
But these Mangshan disciples who attacked Taotie City had bright armor, sharp weapons, and one or two magic weapons in their hands. Especially Lu Jiangtong, he actually has what is suspected to be a legendary magical weapon, the Demon Slayer Armor.
This demon-slaying armor is the treasured armor of Chu Hengtu, a famous demon general from the previous dynasty. It is said that the more people kill, the stronger the demonic nature and power will be. It is definitely of the quality of the top 100 or even the top 50 in Wan Bao Lu, but it was lost too early. , that’s why it didn’t appear on Wanbaolu.
Wearing this magic armor, Lu Jiangtong killed two seventh-level worshipers by himself, scared off the third one, and completely crushed the guards in the city lord's palace.
"Of course it was given by people like you. You all have contributed a lot to why we Mangshan disciples are what we are today," Lu Jiangtong said.
"But you didn't listen to me, but you still listened to others..." Hu Yandong pondered for a moment, "There shouldn't be many people who can give me more than my Taotie City... I asked you to go to Shushan, but you didn't go. You’re here to attack Taotie City, aren’t you?”
Looking at his slightly surprised face, Lu Jiangtong warned: "If you keep guessing, I may not be able to protect you. I'm here to tell you, you should tell me where your treasure is as soon as possible. You can survive. If you don't do anything, I'm afraid I will have to operate on your son first."
Taotie City has been prosperous for so many years and has earned countless spirit stone coins. It has been rumored in the world of immortal cultivation that they have a secret realm dedicated to storing treasures, and they are ready to make a comeback when they are down. After Lu Jiangtong broke into the city lord's mansion, he really didn't find many valuable things, so he doubted that the treasure story was true.
Then the father and son were sealed and brought out to interrogate the location of the treasure.
"Let me tell you the truth, this son..." Hu Yandong glanced at Hu Yanbin next to him, "Earlier, I even thought about doing it myself. It would be unwise for you to threaten me with him."
"Dad -" Hu Yanbin wailed, "I am your only biological son!"
"I haven't thought about how to tell you recently. Actually..." Hu Yandong said, "The aunt I found for you outside is pregnant with... a son."
Hu Yanbin was stunned and asked, "Is it yours?"
Hu Yandong frowned, "What did you fart?"
This scolding actually angered Hu Yanbin, and he suddenly began to curse: "Old thief! Persistent! You are shameless!"
…
When Chu Liang came to find Chu Yi, he had just returned from the Dharma Protector Hall. The child used to be a six-year-old with a melon-shaped face, but now he was a twelve-year-old with a small square head.
This should be considered a work-related injury... Chu Liang thought silently.
"Senior brother?" Chu Yi smiled immediately when he saw him coming, "Why are you here?"
"Miss Xu from the Whale Gang has just arrived. She left the shipping list with me some time ago and asked me to bring it to you for verification." Chu Liang took out the jade slip and placed it on the table.
"Okay." Chu Yi nodded, "I will finish the homework left by Senior Brother Yuan in a while and start checking it."
"But I just took a quick glance. Maybe it's because I haven't been in contact for a few years and I didn't see something clearly." Chu Liang suddenly said, "Not long ago, there was a large shipment going to the Eastern Region. The name on it was Do you still remember the Nine-Colored Flower Lollipop and Meteorite?"
"Remember." Chu Yi thought for a while and said: "The nine-color flower dill can absorb the wood air and grow on it. It can grow up to hundreds of feet long. It must be mixed with iron and stone tools for transportation, so the people below will combine this spiritual plant with meteorite iron. Shipped on the same ship.”
"But for this shipment, the price gets lower the further east you go, why?" Chu Liang asked again.
"The water flow in the southern region has steep slopes and steep bends, while the eastern region has mostly open rivers. The transportation prices of the two have always been different." Chu Yi replied fluently.
"However, the corresponding weight reduction under different unit prices is the biggest reason for the subsequent price changes of this order." Chu Liang simply stopped questioning and said bluntly: "The weighing when entering the East Region water section is different from when it arrived later. Weighing, there is a huge difference. Is there something missing in the middle?"
"What?" Seeing that he seemed to have something to say, Chu Yi asked directly.
"Do you think it could be..." Chu Liang said slowly: "Human?"
"people?"
"It's not accurate. It should be said that they are extremely hungry people with demon blood." Chu Liang stared at Chu Yi's eyes. The child is still calm until now. "Or we should call them... Mangshan disciples."
"How could the Mangshan disciples get on the Whale Gang's ship?" Chu Yi seemed to be confused.
"Yes, this is indeed strange." Chu Liang said: "But if it was the goods sent by Shushan, it would be normal for the Whale Gang not to check them carefully. At that time, a large number of Mangshan disciples parachuted into the East Territory from the South Territory and attacked Wu'an City. Everyone in the world can’t figure out how they got there out of thin air, and they all thought they used some extraordinary magical means. It would be so ironic if they just swaggered over on a Whale Gang ship.”
Chu Yi looked like he was thinking and said nothing.
"The reason why I have such an association is actually because I visited Wu'an City once in the early years." Chu Liang continued: "I went to a painter's home. At that time, they had an ancient painting from the previous dynasty. It was so haunted that his son was completely absorbed into it. After we checked, we found that the painting had its own secret realm. The painter's surname was Tang, and the painting... was called "Portrait of Ladies in the Eastern Suburbs."
Chu Yi glanced at the side wall, where an ink painting hung, not the one Chu Liang saw last time. Because last time Chu Liang noticed the painting, he immediately replaced it.
"It's a coincidence that I have seen this painting before." Chu Liang smiled half-heartedly, "I wouldn't be suspicious if it appeared in the hands of others, but it's you..."
"I just thought there would be some mystery in it? Could it be that the legendary treasure left by the previous royal family is in that secret realm?"
"The Mangshan disciples were able to rebel against the thieves from Caomang and have the power to break through Taotie City so quickly. The support of that treasure must be indispensable, right?"
"The old prime minister told me that you didn't remember anything. Was that a lie?"
"..."
A series of questions suddenly thrown by Chu Liang made Chu Yi fall into silence completely.
He gently sat down opposite Chu Liang. There was no trace of childishness on his face anymore, replaced by calmness and calmness.
After a long time, he finally said: "No, he didn't lie to you. I really didn't remember anything when I woke up."
"oh?"
"But once I fall into a dream, some memory fragments will always flash back in my mind. Those fragments are so real and detailed..." Chu Yi's voice was also very deep, "It took me several years to investigate and finally determined that I His life experience finally recalled everything.”
He had slept in the Abyss of Dreams for hundreds of years, and it seemed that his dreams were more or less tainted.
Seeing that his guess was true, Chu Liang didn't worry too much, but continued: "But isn't your new life in Shushan also very good? Why do you have to bring trouble to the world again?"
"Senior brother, if someone suddenly takes Hongmian Peak away from you one day, would you want it back?" Chu Yi asked again.
"The Red Cotton Peak has never been mine, just like the world has never been yours." Chu Liang shook his head, "We all just sat in an important position for a short time."
"I still need to learn the realm of senior brother." Chu Yi also smiled bitterly, "Maybe if you were in Shushan these six years, I wouldn't want to or dare to do these things."
This is true. If Chu Liang had stayed in Shushan, Chu Yi would not have made any small moves under his nose. If he had been influenced by him while growing up, he might not have followed this path.
After all, the Yinjian Peak Master's life goal is to rebel. When the Deputy Peak Master is away, it's hard for the children not to be influenced by it.
"I have no intention of interfering with you, but I brought you out of the mountains. Now that you have done something like this, I have to take responsibility." Chu Liang finally said.
"What does senior brother want to do with me?" Chu Yi asked.
"Let you go back and sleep again?" Chu Liang said: "Then we will gather all the Mangshan disciples to ensure that they will not cause trouble everywhere again."
"Senior brother, it's impossible." Chu Yi stood up suddenly and looked at Chu Liang with his eyes still calm, "I will always remember your kindness, but I will never go back to that situation again."
Seeing that he was still so calm, Chu Liang realized that something seemed to be wrong, and immediately took action with the demon-binding rope.
call out--
Chu Yi was tied by the demon-binding rope, but his expression remained unchanged. As the demon-binding rope gradually tightened, his whole body began to emit white brilliance.
Bang!
With a loud explosion, the body turned into spots of light and disappeared in front of Chu Liang.
External incarnation?
Only then did Chu Liang realize that Chu Yi, who was talking to him from beginning to end, was a clone. I don't know when this kid has developed the supernatural power of incarnation outside his body, and he has been showing off his avatar to others.
Maintaining a clone all the year round requires a lot of energy to cultivate. Usually only the seventh or eighth realm can do it. However, Chu Yi has a huge amount of wealth. It is not difficult to rely on taking pills all year round. Support it.
But ordinary people rarely think of this step.
Moreover, Chu Liang had not revealed any rumors before, which means that this kid may have been in such a high-consuming state of avatar activity since he had alien intentions.
Except for the time he slept, his true age should not be faked. This thoughtfulness is also a bit scary.
What the hell is this twelve years old?
good evening.
I got an injection yesterday and I feel a little better today, but I'm still a little weak and my throat hurts even when I drink water. It's the beginning of the month. For the sake of my sick code, please vote for me.
