Du Qingchen had a big head and looked at Murong Xue hard.
Murong Xue said: "You don't want to drive me away, do you?"
Seeing her pitiful look, Du Qingchen really couldn't say such heartless words, and said: "What I mean is, go and get a room next door."
"I-okay."
Murong Xue also knew that she could not compete with Nangong Wan'er now, so she went to get a room obediently.
Du Qingchen breathed a sigh of relief.
Fortunately, I am relatively obedient.
He never thought about accepting Murong Xue. During the day, he did it to save people. He remembered one thing now. The two were friends and got along with each other, but he felt that it would be impossible for him to become lovers in his lifetime.
Nangong Wan'er was about to speak, but suddenly shut up.
Because someone knocked on the door.
I went over to open it and saw that it was Feng Kun.
"Can you avoid it?"
Feng Kun said directly.
Nangong Wan'er was also very cooperative. She walked out, closed the door, and said to Du Qingchen before leaving: "I'll go next door to see Murong Xue."
Du Qingchen didn't seem surprised by Feng Kun's arrival.
Feng Kun put up a barrier to completely isolate the two people's voices, and said: "Okay, I came to you with something important indeed."
"Speaking."
"Murong Xue is following you now. I feel relieved. I hope you can get together soon. I also hope that no matter what happens in the future, you will treat her well and take good care of her for me."
Feng Kun brought up old things again, very seriously and sincerely.
Du Qingchen did not answer the question: "What else is going on?"
"About climbing the Immortal Mountain."
"oh?"
"I have received instructions from the City Lord. The three of you are going to the City Lord's Mansion tomorrow. He wants to see you."
"What?"
Du Qingchen was shocked: "Didn't you say that the Lord of the City is dead?"
"Who said he was dead?"
"Not dead?"
"Don't worry about this. Just remember to come to the City Lord's Mansion tomorrow. The rules have changed this time. He may allow the three of you to climb the Immortal Mountain together. This is also a great opportunity for them."
Feng Kun had some emotion in his eyes.
Du Qingchen was a little confused.
The city lord is not dead?
Impossible?
But if Feng Kun doesn't explain, he can only find out when he goes to the City Lord's Mansion tomorrow.
"There is a third thing, which is also the most important thing."
Feng Kun said: "I believe that you will be able to climb the fairy mountain and get some inheritance. Didn't I give you a key yesterday? It is a key to a certain place. As for the key to a certain place, I don't know.
Yes, I only know that the door is round and has a monster painted on it."
Du Qingchen frowned, completely confused.
"If you can go in, can you bring something back for me?"
"What do you want?"
Du Qingchen asked curiously.
"There should be a box in that place. You must not open it. Bring it back to me with the box attached and give it to me. I will thank you very much when the time comes."
A trace of desire and greed flashed in Feng Kun's eyes, but it passed quickly, but was still seen clearly by Du Qingchen.
"Okay, I promise you."
Du Qingchen hesitated for a while and finally agreed.
He was hesitating on purpose, but it was just for show.
Feng Kun spoke so vaguely, but Du Qingchen dared to conclude that there must be something very important in that box, maybe a treasure, and he couldn't give it to Feng Kun no matter what.
If you tell me not to open it, why don't you open it? Do you think I am a three-year-old child?
"That box is very dangerous. I tell you again, never open it, otherwise, the consequences will be disastrous."
Feng Kun emphasized again.
Du Qingchen said: "Okay, I will try my best to bring it back for you."
He didn't seem to worry that he wouldn't be able to enter the Immortal Mountain and get the things from the Immortal Mountain.
Feng Kun nodded, chatted for a while, and then left.
As soon as he left, Nangong Wan'er came back.
It's strange that this time, she didn't ask Du Qingchen, and the latter didn't mention this matter either.
After breakfast the next day, someone came to pick up Du Qingchen and the others.
Arriving at the city lord's mansion, Feng Kun had been waiting for a long time.
He took the three people to a square behind the city lord's palace. This place is usually a forbidden area. There is no need for it. Most people will not come here. This is not a forbidden area, but it is a forbidden area.
In the square, there is a statue.
The figure on the statue is lifelike. He looks like a scribe. He looks very chic and suave at first glance. He is gazing at the three people below, as if he has come to life.
"This is the Lord of the City."
Feng Kun said.
Du Qingchen always felt something strange when looking at this statue.
He and Nangong Wan'er looked at each other, both a little wary.
Murong Xue, on the other hand, actually knelt down and bowed respectfully when she saw the statue.
Du Qingchen looked at Feng Kun.
Feng Kun said: "See that altar? If you want to be recognized by the city lord, you need to sacrifice. You need to sacrifice your own blood. You can ask Murong Xue. This is our Hancheng tradition. Every day
There is such a place everywhere, and this statue only accepts sacrifices from people in the city lord's palace. If you want to climb the fairy mountain, just sacrifice."
"Can we also climb the Immortal Mountain?"
Murong Xue asked curiously, she grasped the key point.
Feng Kun nodded: "You can do it too, but you have to get the approval of the city lord, so let's make a sacrifice."
Murong Xue had offered sacrifices before, and without saying a word, she cut her finger and came to the altar. The blood fell on the altar, and a trace of blood energy was absorbed by the statue.
"I don't want to sacrifice."
Du Qingchen said.
Nangong Wan'er also nodded: "I don't want to sacrifice either."
"Why? Don't you want to climb the Immortal Mountain?"
Feng Kun was stunned.
Nangong Wan'er said: "We don't believe in anyone. We have our own way, so we don't offer sacrifices."
Her reason was simple and direct, and her attitude was firm.
Du Qingchen said nothing, but his attitude was also very clear.
Feng Kun frowned tightly: "Even if you can't climb the fairy mountain?"
"right!"
Du Qingchen smiled and said: "If you really can't be recognized, I will accept it."
After a while, Feng Kun sighed: "Okay, come here tomorrow morning, and I will take you to climb the Immortal Mountain."
After saying that, he turned around and left.
Du Qingchen was silent for a moment, looking at the statue in front of him, his brows furrowed tightly, not knowing what he was thinking.
On the way back, Murong Xue asked curiously: "Why don't you make a sacrifice? That way the chance of success in climbing the Fairy Mountain will be higher."
"You don't understand."
Du Qingchen replied.
"Then I'll understand if you tell me."
Du Qingchen stopped, glanced at her, and said, "I can't say, you will understand later."
Murong Xue was a bit baffled by these words.
Du Qingchen didn't explain. This matter will soon come to light. He still doesn't know what the situation is. If he talks too much, maybe it's not what he thinks.
If he didn't offer a sacrifice, he was on guard against Feng Kun.
