Black Loach drove the three daughters of Chu Xi southward along the main road until the trace disappeared at the end of the horizon. Chen Su still stood there blankly, looking to the south. He sympathized with Chu Xi's life experience, but also felt that if the demons invaded southward, I don’t know how many people will be like her, their families will be destroyed, and they will end up in the world.
The warm sunshine shone on Chen Su's forehead, face, and eyes, causing him to narrow his eyes slightly, as if he was thinking about something in his mind. After a moment, his figure flashed and disappeared at the other end of the road. At the end, the cars and horses coming and going bring up billowing smoke, but no one knows how many people's hearts this road cares about at both ends.
When Chen Su returned to Beitong Town, the town was much more desolate. In addition, the weather was bad and dark clouds came from the north. It seemed that a snowstorm was coming. He quietly went to the governor's mansion to look for Wen Mian. The night before yesterday, he In the rush to rescue Chu Xi, there were many things that he had not yet clarified. When he arrived at the guard house, he saw that the main door was wide open. Shen Tianhua, Wen Mian, Shen Li and others were all there. Shen Tianhua was even more impassioned and was blaming the devil. The few people left in the town listened to his speech in front of the gate of the governor's mansion. Chen Su stood in an inconspicuous corner behind the crowd and listened. He raised his head and looked over and met Wen Mian's eyes. Quickly looking away, Chen Su also lowered his head.
After listening for a while, Chen Su roughly understood what Shen Tianhua meant. It turned out that he was saying that it was not easy to fight against monsters and ghosts, and he just hoped that everyone could make more efforts. Unfortunately, the eyes of the people in front of him were dull, and they seemed to have no regard for him. She was not very interested in what she was talking about. Shen Tianhua's mouth was dry by the end. Seeing that the mood of the crowd had not changed at all, he had to stop. Shen Li next to him had a straight face, as if he was very dissatisfied with this situation. .
"Listen to me, I brought my brothers here to work for you, but you are reluctant to give out even a little money. If the devil comes, let alone this little money, it will be difficult to save your lives!" Shen Li opened his mouth and roared, but when he opened his mouth, he was indeed much more "powerful" than when Shen Tianhua was giving a speech. The child in the arms of a woman who was looking like a scavenger in front of the guard's mansion cried "Wow" When I got up, the child was about two or three years old. As soon as he cried, the people around him began to talk in low voices, as if they were saying that their life would be difficult before the monsters came.
"Bastard!" Shen Li was furious when he saw that he was disturbed by an infant child. He raised his hand and was about to have an attack, but Wen Mian grabbed him and blew the wind from his palm. The woman almost fell down. Wen Mian smiled apologetically. "Uncle Shen, why bother with a beggar? I think the weather is not good, so it's better to let them disperse early. Let Xu Wei and others handle such dirty things." Shen Li snorted coldly, still dissatisfied. , frowning and said: "I sent a message to Zong Yuan yesterday, but if the things that the elders told us are not handled well, Tianhua and I will not look good."
"That's...that's..." Wen Mian responded quickly, winking secretly at Shen Tianhua. Shen Tianhua thought that if Shen Li was allowed to have an attack here, someone would definitely die, and what happened next would be even more difficult for them. He said, "Uncle, I'd better leave this matter to my nephew. You and your uncles should go and have a rest first. I've also prepared some jars of good wine in the evening." Shen Li snorted angrily, turned around and returned to the governor's mansion. The famous subordinates also followed in. Shen Tianhua breathed a sigh of relief, then turned to face the people outside the door and said: "Everyone, I know that Beitong Town is the place where you have lived for generations, but demons are rampant and domineering. Outside the town, All the barbaric villages were destroyed, and you don’t want Beitong Town to end up with the same fate, right?..." Shen Tianhua began to speak again, but unfortunately the people in front of him didn't seem to buy it, and soon they began to disperse. Seeing that things could not go that smoothly, Wen Mian pulled Shen Tianhua from behind and said, "Master, I think we can forget it today." Although Shen Tianhua was unwilling to do so, he had no choice but to return to the guard house in frustration. Wen Mian But he secretly glanced at Chen Su.
In the afternoon, snow fell heavily in Beitong Town, and the goose-feather-like snow flakes rolled in with the breeze. After a while, the entire Beitong Town became like the snow peaks of Beihuang, a vast expanse of white and dusty scenery.
We walked around Hei Nilu's inn. The inn was closed, but no one seemed to pay attention to it. Apparently the bearded man had a strict mouth, so Chen Su walked forward in the wind and snow again. No one could see him on the street.
A figure circled around Beitong Town. Finally, he came to the bluestone archway in the north of the town. Suddenly he raised the corner of his mouth and said, "Since Mr. Wen is here, why don't you show up to meet him?"
"Sir, you really have good eyesight." The space more than three feet away behind Chen Su was slightly distorted, revealing Wen Mian's figure in a cloak. The gray-white cloak was not conspicuous in the wind and snow, but with Wen Mian's high status,
If the cultivation level is hidden, it will be difficult for ordinary people to find it. Chen Su smiled, stepped under the archway, and looked to the distant north, "Mr. Wen, did you bring me any good news this time?"
"I'm afraid that I will disappoint the young master." Wen Mian said slowly, "The young master took away three savage girls. Although they are not eye-catching, I still have to explain it to Tianhua." Chen Su did not look back.
, lips and teeth clasped together, "Given the relationship between you, do you still need to explain this kind of thing?"
Wen Mian lowered his head and smiled, "Young Master looks too high on Wen. I am always a subordinate in front of Tianhua." Chen Su frowned and said nothing, Wen Mian added: "Last time Young Master stunned him with his cultivation, I was
It took a lot of bluffing to convince him that the young master meant no harm, and this time I even told him that these three people were the young master's family members, so he managed to get away with it."
"Oh?" Chen Su narrowed his eyes slightly, "I heard that Master Shen is my family member and is he still willing to let him go? Isn't this a touching story Mr. Wen made up in front of me?" As he spoke, Chen Su sneered, Wen
Mian bowed in a very graceful manner, "Sir, you don't know something, but Tianhua and I will remember your kindness of sparing our lives."
"Forget it, you don't have to tell me this." Chen Su waved his hands. He would not be stupid enough to take Wen Mian's words seriously, but since they did not pursue the matter of Chu Xi's three daughters, it would be best. "Mr. Wen, originally I
I just want to ask you, what are the Shen family’s plans for Beitong Town, and what is the next step for the Diyin Palace?”
"This is what I said will probably disappoint the young master." Wen Mian and Chen Su stood side by side, looking at the falling snowflakes in the sky, "The Shen family is very cautious about this matter, perhaps because they are afraid that the news will be leaked.
To quell the anger of the Nine Sects, I am afraid that even Shen Zongyuan, the Lord of Moji City, not to mention me, doesn’t know much about the Diyin Palace. No one knows the details except for a few eldest men of the Shen family.”
Chen Su sneered, suddenly turned his head to look at Wen Mian, and said slowly: "Mr. Wen, you are lying to me. As far as I know, the demons destroyed Chu Xi and others' village, but the three of them survived.
Why did it fall into your hands? I don't believe this is just a coincidence."
"Hahaha..." Wen Mian laughed inexplicably for a while, "If you don't believe me, I have nothing to do. Since the lives of Tianhua and I are in your hands, we can only accept our fate."
Chen Su's tone was cold, and Wen Mian was helpless, "You said that the Shen family is also your enemy, have you forgotten?"
Wen Mian gritted his teeth, "The hatred of seizing my wife will not stop until death!"
"Okay, let me ask you, how did you capture Chu Xi and the other three, and do you know a person named Chu Dongming?"
"Chu Dongming?" A flash of hesitation flashed through Wen Mian's eyes, and then he shook his head, "I have never heard of this name, but if you ask me how I caught the three of them, it would be a coincidence.
Young Master, maybe you still don’t know how Xu Wei’s nephew Xu Zhi died?” Wen Mian looked at Chen Su, but Chen Su didn’t say anything, “Since the monsters attacked the wild people’s villages, many young people in the town have gone there.
After investigation, Xu Zhi died in a will-o'-the-wisp, but some people gained a lot of money. Seven or eight young people in the town just happened to kidnap these three girls. I bought them for thirty gold coins.
"
Chen Su frowned. It seemed that Wen Mian also knew that he didn't know the inside story. After Chu Xi's village was destroyed, the three of them ran away as if they were dead. Later, they were exhausted and fainted in the wilderness. When they woke up, they were already there.
It's a secret room, so Wen Mian can say whatever he wants, "Mr. Wen, if you want revenge, you'd better not lie to me."
"Young Master is too worried." Wen Mian leaned forward slightly, and Chen Su slowly put his hands behind his back, "I heard that there is another survivor in Chujia Village, that is Chu Dongming. Maybe he knows something about the situation." Chen Su said as he said,
Staring into Wen Mian's eyes carefully, Wen Mian replied very calmly: "What does the young master need from the villain?"
"I heard you and Shen Tianhua teasing Shen Li and others the night before yesterday. I want to know when the demon will come?"
Wen Mian raised his head to meet Chen Su's gaze, "Shen Li has sent a letter to the Shen family for instructions. If nothing else happens, there will be news within half a month, so if the young master wants to find Chu Dongming, he should also do so within this time limit.
Within.”
"Have you ever fought head-on with a demon?" Chen Su suddenly asked Wen Mian. Wen Mian shook his head, "I heard from Shen Li and others that the real power of the demon is its omnipresent will-o'-the-wisp.
It will also be difficult for the body-protecting true energy of the masters in the Zun Realm to compete with each other. So I think Shen Li and others may not be the opponents of Yao Gui, and of course they have never competed head-on with Yao Gui."
Chen Su nodded, "Mr. Wen, if there is news from the Shen family, just crush this piece of jade. Then I will know and I will come to you." Chen Su took out a piece of thumb.
The long jade pieces were condensed by his divine energy. If Wen Mian crushed them, he would feel something, "Now I'm going to the north to find that Chu Dongming."
