The first thousand one hundred and fifty-six chapters are always one step behind
At dusk, there was a lot of noise outside the south gate of Shangqiu. It was only half an hour before the city gate was closed. Although they knew that there was still enough time, all the caravans lined up on the road could not help but feel a little anxious.
Bulk commodities need to be carefully inspected at the city gate before they can pass through. For scattered travelers, the city gate guards also have passages to facilitate their release.
A carriage followed several porters on foot and entered Shangqiu City, entering the streets from the wide main street.
The city gate guard's inspection did not find anything unusual about the people in the carriage, but when the carriage passed by a row of gray-tiled bungalows, it still attracted the attention of one of the Taoists in gray.
Behind this row of gray-tiled bungalows is a row of brick kilns that burn bricks. The Taoist priest in gray came here because many workers from other places have recently come to these brick kilns, and two of these workers seemed to be particularly strong.
Although Shangqiu is not as good as Luoyang, it is the last barrier to Luoyang from south to north, so the control over practitioners is also very strict.
If there is any doubt that outsiders are cultivators, beings like this gray-robed Taoist will quickly put it into effect.
Behind this gray-robed Taoist was a black cat.
The hair on this black cat's body is all shiny black, without any stray hairs, but its eyes are a very deep turquoise.
It was obviously a cat, and it walked silently, but it followed the Taoist in gray like a dog.
This gray-robed Taoist is already over fifty years old, and his temples have turned gray.
When the carriage passed by on the road outside this row of bungalows, the Taoist priest in gray clothes had just begun to inquire about the owners of these brick kilns, and had not yet summoned the two extraordinarily strong foreign men.
At this moment, the black cat crouching extremely quietly in the shadow behind him meowed twice.
The gray-clothed Taoist suddenly turned around. He looked at the dust rising behind the carriage and suddenly narrowed his eyes.
After dozens of breaths, the gray-clothed Taoist and the black cat following him had appeared at an alley far away from the brick kiln, but he had left the carriage behind.
As the sound of horse hooves continued to sound in the streets, the carriage headed towards the entrance of the alley where he was.
The Taoist priest in gray narrowed his eyes slightly, and a small gray handleless sword flew up silently from his sleeve, hiding in the shadow under the eaves of the opposite house.
Hiding the flying sword in what he thought was the best position, he walked to the middle of the road and looked at the carriage that appeared in his sight. The gray-clothed Taoist opened his lips slightly and was about to speak.
"Why bother meddling?"
A sigh sounded in the alley, but it was not his voice.
The face of the Taoist in gray suddenly turned red, and his body was slightly in the air, as if an invisible and terrifying force had pinched his neck and lifted him up.
His flying sword hidden in the shadow under the eaves fell downwards and fell to the ground with a clang.
In the next moment, the gray-clothed Taoist, whose true energy was completely suppressed, was thrown into the corner next to him, and his entire body cracked silently.
This kind of fragmentation started from his bone marrow. His whole body fragmented extremely evenly. In just one breath, the figure of the gray-clothed Taoist had disappeared. There was only a puddle in his clothes that could not be seen at all.
A shapeless mixture of flesh and bone fragments.
The gray cat has also turned into a piece of black cat skin floating in the flesh and blood.
The driver on the carriage didn't even glance at it or the broken flesh and blood of the Taoist in gray beside it. The carriage continued to move forward. At this time, in the western sky, the sunset was at its most beautiful.
It is also as bright red as blood.
Tens of breaths later, a cultivator wearing an ordinary blue shirt rushed to the alley. His figure was as fast as a wisp of smoke, but when the soles of his cloth shoes settled on the traces of the carriage wheels, he
There is no strong fluctuation of true energy in his body.
He looked at the puddle of broken flesh and blood, a little shocked, but without any panic. Then he smiled bitterly, shook his head, and couldn't help but said: "It's a step too slow again. It's always a step too slow."
….
The gray-robed Taoist was not considered weak among the Wuyisi in Shangqiu. To the Wuyisi, a Chengtian-level swordsman was killed in the city, and he was killed quietly. This was really a big deal.
It's a terrible thing.
In the past, the practitioners in the Northern Wei Dynasty were most worried about the destruction from the practitioners in the Southern Dynasties. However, at this time, they knew very well that there would not be such powerful practitioners in the Southern Dynasties who would go to Shangqiu to kill people.
After the practitioner wearing an ordinary blue shirt left, and when the practitioners in Wuyisi discovered the death of this Taoist, countless people in the whole city were alarmed. In the seemingly calm night, something suddenly seemed like
There are countless undercurrents surging.
The carriage was still passing through the streets of Shangqiu, but the two people in the carriage had already got off the carriage.
"Master He."
Shen Yue followed He Bayue. He couldn't help but asked softly: "Why do you want to kill the cultivator directly? Why don't you capture him? This will at least avoid disturbing the situation."
"You are right, but since this person can discover our existence, someone else in this city must also discover our existence. In order to avoid accidents, what we have to do is to do it as soon as possible."
He Bayue did not turn his head, but his voice sounded very gentle, and there seemed to be some approval in his tone, "I don't want to kill too many irrelevant people, let alone fight a city here. As long as we are fast enough, we can
If you can successfully obtain the Netherworld Silkworm, then leave."
Shen Yue nodded respectfully.
He agreed very much with what He Bayue said.
He did not doubt a single word He Bayue said.
Because the aura of the Netherworld God Silkworm was always clearly present in his perception at this time.
Dark night has enveloped Shangqiu City.
He Bayue's brows frowned slightly unnaturally.
He really wanted to get the Netherworld Divine Silkworm as soon as possible, but the real reason was that he felt some changes in the vitality of heaven and earth in the south.
The change in the vitality of heaven and earth didn't seem to be violent, but it clearly appeared in his perception for a moment.
Those unusual movements seemed to come from the vitality of the stars, which allowed him to connect Lin Yi, the young practitioner from the Southern Dynasty.
The aura of the Netherworld God Silkworm is deeper than the actual dark night.
Following this aura, dozens of houses with round spires appeared at the end of the perception.
Shen Nian looked at these houses curiously. He had been wandering on the sea since he was very young. He had no idea what houses like this in the Northern Wei Dynasty were used for, but anyone in Shangqiu knew very well that these were granaries.
…
There was no sign, not even Shen Nian felt any special aura fluctuations. The harsh mechanical vibration suddenly sounded, and the dense crossbow arrows were like a swarm of locusts suddenly strung out from the fields from the granary behind the high wall. Shooting out in between, the sharp and harsh sound is like countless police whistles, so sudden that it seems to make people's eardrums sting.
He Bayue's eyebrows were slightly raised, and looking at the crossbow arrows that filled his sight, he felt somewhat relieved.
He instantly understood why Helan Heiyun stayed here to practice after leaving Tianwuchuan.
In this granary, there is a very special magic circle that masks the aura, perhaps the work of the Empress Dowager of the Northern Wei Dynasty. (To be continued)
