Three days later, Chen Suzhong returned to Beitong Town. He was alone. No matter whether it was Song Jiatong, Feng Jiejie, or Hua Yingxi, he took no one with him. He only left a promise, promising that within January
No matter what happened, he would return to Songzhuang safely and try his best to bring back the news about the demons and ghosts. However, when he arrived outside the town, he did not enter the town. Instead, he bypassed Beitong Town and went directly to the edge of Beihuang.
The Sunset Rock below was where the demons and ghosts had originally gathered from all directions in the north of the rock. He was going to see if he could find any clues there.
Under Sunset Rock, there is a century-old snow. The footprints left by the demons and ghosts have not been completely covered by the new snow, leaving messy footprints more than five feet long. Chen Su can't help but think of the vicious and ugly appearance of the indigo-faced green-skinned demons.
Shocked in his heart, Wen Mian once said that demons and ghosts are also residents of the Northern Wilderness. In addition, he also heard people say that the Northern Wilderness is not all a cold and barren land. There is a warm and livable place beyond the thousands of miles of snow-capped mountains, where the seasons are like spring.
, the vegetation is evergreen, and the rich energy of heaven and earth fascinates countless cultivators. And there are real masters of the monster beast tribe in that place, who are not inferior even to the peak powerhouses of the human tribe in Middle-earth. When thinking of the demon ghost Chen Su,
I can always think of those who kidnapped Wu Daoxin. Why did they capture Wu Daoxin in the first place? What were the identities of the four men in black robes that night? In addition, I was defeated by Gu Daochen and was almost killed.
He killed his life. If it weren't for the mysterious space power of the Secret of Life and Death, I'm afraid his current fate would have been miserable. And these people may have only one purpose, the Secret of Life and Death!
Chen Su walked around under the Sunset Rock for a while. With his current cultivation level, he could search the Sunset Rock thoroughly in just a few hours. Except for places that are extremely difficult to detect deep underground, he was now basically certain that the Sunset Rock was
There were no demons and ghosts under the rock. Could it be that Moji City had already sent people? He thought about it in his mind again. It had been more than a month since the demons and ghosts attacked last time. Under normal circumstances, the news sent by Shen Tianhua should have been sent long ago.
When we arrived at Moji City, perhaps the masters of the Shen family had arrived. Since we didn't find anything in Sunset Rock, we might as well go to the governor's mansion. Maybe Wen Mian would have some news. Thinking of this, Chen Su climbed to the highest point of Sunset Rock and looked north.
When he went there, he saw only white snow and howling north wind. Only at this time could he see the smoke rising from some remote villages, but now it was nowhere to be seen. He suddenly thought of Chu Xi, that gentle and pleasant girl, and couldn't help but feel a little
Feeling distressed.
After plundering Sunset Rock, Chen Su went straight back to Beitong Town, because he didn't gain much here. Originally, he didn't want to come to see Wen Mian so soon, but now it seems that he has no other choice, because he knows nothing about the Underworld Palace.
You know, trying to find monsters in such a large area as the Northern Wilderness is like looking for a needle in a haystack, so you have to start with Shen Tianhua, and on the surface, he is the real guardian of the Shen family here. Beitong Town is better than a month ago
It looked a lot more desolate again, and even many of the stores in the town were closed. A layer of dust had fallen in front of some shops. Apparently no one had come in or out for many days. Chen Su rushed straight to the town's governor's house, but now the town's guards
The house was very lively, with people coming and going, and carts of goods coming and going in the backyard.
"Why is the governor's mansion still handling goods at this time?" Chen Su was a little confused. He hid Xingzang and jumped up to the highest main building in the governor's mansion. It was here that he captured Wen Mian and Shen Tianhua. Leaning over the roof tiles, Chen Su quietly dispersed his mental energy. After listening carefully, he found that this tall and big house was really lively. It was roughly estimated that there should be more than ten people changing cups and drinking happily. .
"Come, uncle, my nephew will give you another drink." The voice seemed to be that of Shen Tianhua, who was obviously already seventy percent drunk.
"Tianhua, if you handle things beautifully this time, not to mention your father, even those elders will have to look at you with admiration." This voice sounded very confident, and he should be a minor in She Zun realm. The master seems to be the uncle Shen Tianhua talks about.
"My nephew has to rely on his uncle this time. If he can make the elders happy, please give me your advice." Shen Tianhua catered to him through his drunkenness, "If it is true as the uncle said, my nephew will definitely pay off in the future."
"Hehe, I, Shen Li, have traveled all over the world in my life, but I have never been treated well by a gentleman. Come, have a drink, and wish Master Tianhua success, so that we can enjoy the blessings in the future."
"I wish Young Master Tianhua an immediate success." The sound of clinking cups and cups came out. It was obvious that these people seemed to be celebrating something. After a while of induction, Chen Su already knew that there were at least eight masters of She Zun Realm in this room. It was thought that such strength could not even be achieved back then. I'm afraid Moji City can't even produce it. I didn't expect that there are so many masters gathered in Beitong Town now. Did Wen Mian lie before? Is the Shen family really interested in dealing with monsters? But Chen Su soon felt that he was too naive. , the more superficial efforts the Shen family makes, the stronger the demons and ghosts are. When the demons and ghosts attack Moji City, they can not only eliminate Songzhuang, but also seek some benefits from the Beizhu Palace. By then, they can defeat the demons and ghosts. It is a great achievement. From now on, Moji City will not be firmly in their hands?
"The Shen family is really vicious!" Chen Su held his breath to avoid being discovered. He flew up from the roof again and floated in the air. He looked through the window into the house as before and saw that there were now a lot of things in the house. Zhang Yudiao round table, there are thirteen people sitting around the table. He has long recognized Wen Mian and Shen Tianhua. At the head of the table is a purple-faced and bearded man, about ten feet tall, holding an amber-colored Ruiguang glazed bowl in his hand. , the wine slurry was sparkling and shiny in the bowl. The big man held the bowl with one hand, brought it to his mouth and drank it all in one gulp.
"Good wine! What Luo Wangsun personally brews is not comparable to those ordinary wines!"
"Uncle, if you like, my nephew has two altars here..." Shen Tianhua said flatteringly, and the bearded man laughed wildly, "Young Master Tianhua, you still don't understand me, Shen Li. These brothers of mine have been with me through life and death. If we can't share the blessings together, I, Shen Li, am arrogant. If the young master doesn't care about those two jars of good wine, just bring them up and let me drink them with my brothers!"
"Thank you, brother!" The six men at the table put down their wine bowls and raised their hands to Shen Li. These six men were of different heights, short, fat, and thin, but they all had firm faces. It was obvious that they had gone through many vicissitudes of life. In addition, Wen Mian was eight years old. A master of fame and respect.
"Lord Guard, I would also like to borrow this fine wine to toast Uncle Shen. From now on, Xu's life will be handed over to the Shen family." Someone with his back to Chen Su spoke. Chen Su had no idea before, so he had no fault. He had a normal aura and was sitting at the bottom of the crowd. But when he opened his mouth, Chen Su recognized Xu Wei, the shopkeeper of the Xu Family Goods Store. He was actually here, and there were two people beside him. , it seemed that he was also from Beitong Town. Xu Wei raised his glass. Shen Li glanced at him and drank the wine in a gulp without answering. Xu Wei laughed dryly and had no choice but to raise his head and drink the wine in the glass.
Seeing that Xu Wei was a little embarrassed, Shen Tianhua hurriedly said: "Uncle, you still don't know. These days, everything in Beitong Town is all handled by shopkeeper Xu. Even the jade crystal bowl in your hand is from Xu Wei." Presented by the shopkeeper."
"It should be done, it should be done. This is a small person's business." Xu Wei said repeatedly. At this time, the two people beside him were holding wine glasses but didn't know how to speak. Shen Li would not pay attention to the toast and took it for himself. It's insulting, disrespectful and extremely rude. The Lord Guard invited Mr. Shen to a banquet. It was a rare opportunity for them to come, but now they are in a dilemma.
Shen Li finished three bowls in the blink of an eye and signaled his servants to add more wine. Only then did he look up at Xu Wei, "Shopkeeper Xu, the Lord of the City ordered you to donate 7 million worth of goods, but now you can't even make 60% of the total." No, this job falls to me, Shen Li, should I drink the bowl of wine you served me, or should I not drink it?"
Hearing this, Xu Wei quickly picked up the wine glass again. He had already drank the glass of wine, but he didn't expect Shen Li to say such words, which made his legs tremble with fear, "Uncle Shen, I will do my best in this matter, but Beitong After all, this town is just a small border town. Even if I rack my brains, I won’t be able to handle three million worth of goods at once, unless..."
"Unless what?" Shen Li glared at Xu Wei, "The Lord of the City has issued a death order, and this matter must be completed before the end of the month."
"Unless..." A fierce light flashed in Xu Wei's eyes, "Unless we let the demons attack now. The people in the town are afraid of the demons and their expressions will change when they hear them. As long as the demons come now, they will definitely leave their property behind. However, when the demons come, By that time, I will be able to collect three million worth of goods and send them to Moji City. Otherwise, even if Uncle Shen really twists off the villain's head, there is nothing the villain can do."
Bang! Shen Li slapped the table with his palm. He smashed the jade round table into pieces. Even the glass bowl was shaken, but Shen Li reached out to catch it. Obviously he was very angry. After slapping the table, the six masters of Shezun Realm all stood up and looked at Xu Wei angrily. Xu Wei was so frightened that he couldn't stand and suddenly collapsed on his seat.
Seeing that the situation was not good, Shen Tianhua hurriedly tried to persuade him. After all, people had to run around to deliver the goods. Killing Xu Wei was of no use. And during this period, he had received many benefits from Xu Wei. How could he ignore death and not save him? ?"Uncle, please calm down. For the sake of my nephew, please spare Shopkeeper Xu first." Shen Li frowned when he heard this, waved his hand, and the six subordinates sat down again. Shen Li said solemnly: "Tianhua, it's not that my uncle meant to embarrass him, but you don't know the temper of your uncle, the city lord. Before I left, he sent me a handwritten letter from the second master. If the goods cannot be completed before the end of the month, Even I am to blame."
"Uncle, in that case, why don't you ask the gentleman to change the agreed time forward?" Shen Tianhua whispered in Shen Li's ear, but he didn't know that Chen Su heard it clearly.
