"Have you heard? The disappearance of a large number of monks in Hailin City over the years seems to be related to the City Lord's Mansion!"
"Fellow Taoist, have you also read that picture album?"
"Yes, this picture album was painted by Uncle Togashi from the Zhaotian Gang. It reveals countless past events related to the old city lord!"
"Uncle Togashi, that's Togashi Yibo!"
"Do you think the story in the album is true?"
"It seems to be true. The timelines match up. Think about it, the old city lord suddenly disappeared thousands of years ago and was rumored to have died!"
"Yes, yes, but according to what the picture album says, the old city lord lost his health due to practicing magic skills, and now he is arresting people everywhere to refine oil and prepare to gain weight!"
"Isn't it? Do you believe this too?"
"It doesn't sound very reliable!"
"But as far as I know, some records are indeed true!" Someone suddenly said mysteriously.
"What? Does this fellow Taoist know some secrets?"
The man smiled calmly: "That's natural! In fact, the old city lord met a woman who practiced Mei Gong thousands of years ago!"
Everyone was stunned when they heard this!
A woman who practices charm skills?
Could it be that the reason why the old city lord is so skinny now is because of being with that woman?
Looking at the surprised expressions on everyone's faces, the man continued: "Yes, it's what you think!"
"Brother, please elaborate on what we are thinking!"
"If you don't elaborate on this matter, it could easily lead to trouble! I can only tell you that it's a fierce battle between a beautiful woman and a strong man, and you won't realize it for a long time, but you'll be squeezed dry."
"Isn't it? The old city lord is actually in such good health?"
"Don't you know something, sir? The old city lord was the number one genius in Hailin City back then! He is naturally far superior to ordinary people in this regard. Otherwise, why do you think that woman would choose the old city lord?"
"You are wrong. The news I heard is that the old city lord's preferences are different from ordinary people, and he is more interested in some men!"
"Fart, don't talk nonsense if you don't know. The old city lord is a heavenly eunuch. Later, he practiced some weird skills and ended up in this situation. He is a pitiful man!"
"Holy shit, is this really fake?"
"Nonsense, otherwise he was so famous back then, why would he suddenly want to pass the throne to his son, but he chose to retreat?"
"Wait, it doesn't seem right. If he is a heavenly eunuch? Then wouldn't his son..."
"Everyone, have you misunderstood the point? These issues shouldn't be what we should be thinking about now, right? We should first find out why so many people have disappeared in Hailin City over the years."
Everyone was stunned when they heard this!
Ah this...
really!
Although the specific purpose of the City Lord's Mansion is still unclear, everyone's situation seems to be a bit wrong now!
If the monks who have been missing for so many years were all caught by the city lord's mansion, then Hailin City now... is very dangerous!
Why are you still gossiping about the old city lord’s past here?
However, some people did not take this matter seriously and only regarded it as a farce.
Some people think that this should be a rumor spread casually by someone with an old grudge against the old city lord. Otherwise, how could it be possible for so many versions to evolve overnight?
Therefore, these "smart people" were unmoved, thinking that the city lord's palace would eventually come forward to explain, and then all rumors would become jokes.
…
Rumors spread around the city and soon reached the city lord's mansion.
When the housekeeper heard these rumors, he went crazy instantly.
Could it be that someone else heard their words yesterday?
As the saying goes, there is no storm without fire. They have been running rampant in Hailin City for many years. If they want to spread rumors, it should not happen at this time.
If the old city lord knew about this...
The housekeeper shuddered suddenly!
But he knew that this kind of thing could not be hidden!
After some hesitation, he reported the matter to the old city lord Hai Chao!
After hearing this, Hai Chao had no reaction.
He was like a twilight old man, sitting on the chair, the breeze gently blowing the few strands of hair he had left, but to outsiders, it seemed that this breeze might blow him down at any time.
However, the housekeeper knelt down in front of Hai Chao, trembling all over and sweating down his face!
He could sense the anger of the old city lord, and he was afraid that if he dared to say any more nonsense, he would be dead.
After a long time, Hai Chao finally said slowly: "You trash! You can't even handle this!"
As he spoke, Haichao raised his hand, as if he was preparing to directly kill the trash in front of him.
But as if he thought of something, he hesitated to wave his hand.
It was not until a moment later that he slowly said: "The matter is over, I will not pursue it any further! There are millions of people in the city now, and it is not difficult to arrest 100,000 people. Let's start sealing the city immediately. Remember, if you make another mistake
,Don’t blame me for not remembering the past!”
"Yes, thank you City Lord!" The steward immediately breathed a sigh of relief, kowtowed several times, and hurriedly retreated.
Hai Chao looked at the steward's leaving figure coldly, and with a thought in his mind, the light and shadow of a small Hailin City slowly appeared in his hand.
He flicked his fingers a few times, and a faint halo of light suddenly appeared outside the light and shadow of the small city, covering the entire small city.
boom!
Immediately afterwards, a huge light curtain suddenly appeared over the entire Hailin City, falling from the sky and falling directly down.
Hailin City was completely enveloped.
"Recently, someone has maliciously spread rumors in Hailin City to discredit the city lord. From now on, Hailin City will be closed down until the person who spread the rumors is found!"
The city lord's palace announced the news to the monks in the entire city at the same time.
The city is on lockdown!
All the monks looked up at the formation in the sky, and their expressions suddenly changed.
Combined with various rumors in the city today and what the city lord’s mansion is doing now!
Many people couldn't help but feel a little uneasy.
Is such a big battle really just looking for people who spread rumors?
Or... maybe those rumors are true and the City Lord's Mansion really wants to arrest 100,000 people?
Suddenly, people in Hailin City were panicked!
Moreover, every version of the previous rumors was as if they were true, and now the monks in Hailin City couldn't help but feel on guard.
Gradually, the so-called rumors seemed to become true.
After all, they did find that some friends had disappeared out of thin air!
"I have a friend who was drinking with me yesterday. Today I went to his home to look for him, but I found that he had disappeared."
"It's okay for you. I have a friend named Qi whose family of thirteen has disappeared. Is it really related to the City Lord's Mansion?"
"What do you mean? My wife said she had her hair done last night, but she hasn't returned yet. I suspect she must have been brutally murdered by the city lord's palace!"
"Have you noticed? It seems that the refugees in Hailin City have also disappeared recently!"
"Could it be that people without cultivation will also be brought into the City Lord's Mansion?"
"If you think about it carefully, over the past few years, we in Hailin City have the most people who have disappeared inexplicably, the most in Qingzhou..."
Hearing this, everyone couldn't help but feel a chill on their backs!
Could it be that the City Lord's Mansion is really doing something shameful?
…
At the same time, deep in the mountains and forests on the outskirts of Hailin City.
Two people and one dog were gathered together, holding a map of Hailin City and discussing something.
Suddenly, Er Gouzi suddenly raised his head and looked in the direction of Hailin City.
"Damn it, Brother Que, they have sealed off the city!" Ergouzi said in shock.
"No way, didn't you just steal a few of their shops? Just a few appetizers, and they actually closed the city directly?" Duan Jiude also clicked his tongue, feeling that Hailin City was too stable.
After all, locking down the city is no small matter!
"Oh, you want to seal the city? I don't allow them to do this!"
Xu Que sneered and then waved his hand.
boom!
The stream of light flickered, and a pile of huge explosive packets like a hill fell directly to the ground.
Immediately, Xu Que glanced at Ergou, who was in a daze, and said with a smile: "Ergou, do you understand what I mean?"
"Damn it, I know this trick!"
Ergouzi reacted and his face was filled with excitement.
