Helanzhen breathed a sigh of relief, hurriedly saluted seriously, and said, "Helan keep it in mind."
"Okay, then I'll leave." After opening the door, the red-haired woman walked directly towards the shadow and disappeared from Helanzhen's field of vision instantly.
In the small courtyard, only the faint echo of the country lord sounded.
"Fushan City is handed over to you, I can rest assured."
Hearing this sentence, He Lanzhen at the door couldn't help rolling her eyes, and a feeling of powerlessness surged in her heart.
No matter how many times she comes back, she feels that the king's free-spirited personality can't be resisted...
In the early hours of the night, the red-haired country lord walked towards the capital at a very fast pace, leaving Fushan City behind.
In the small courtyard behind the Fire Temple, Lu Heng, who did not know that Lian Shanjing had been there, was still sitting in the courtyard, quietly flipping through the bamboo slips in his hands, deducing the techniques in it.
On the banks of the Pangshui River, the filial sons and grandsons of the Wu family wore filial piety, and took turns kneeling by the river to shout spirits and send the old man away.
But the old man Wu they called is now lying in the small courtyard guest room behind the Fire Temple, thinking about the things of the Wu family, his eyes are full of pain and remorse.
In Wu's mansion, the two brothers who had just returned from the river were scolding each other angrily. In the noisy room, a middle-aged woman with a cold face finally kicked the door and walked in, scaring the two who were scolding each other.
"Second...Second sister..."
"No, second sister... I'm not... "
Amid the begging for mercy from the two brothers, the noise in the Wu family mansion was temporarily quiet.
But the servants and the clansmen looked at each other, wondering how long this silence could last and which side they would stand on next.
Outside Fushan City, there were two figures walking through the night.
The one who led the way was the burly and strong man who followed the second son of the Wu family, named Zhang Da.
He was leading a horse, but sitting on the horse's back was a graceful and slender figure.
Although he couldn't see his face clearly under the night sky, the voice that sounded under the night sky was alluring. If Lu Heng was here, he would definitely feel a little familiar.
"Hee hee... Is this place Fushan City?"
The figure on the horse smiled lightly and said, "Although I have passed by a few times, if it is not for your Wu family to lead the way, the concubine really does not dare to enter at will~"
Zhang Da, who was leading the horse, quickly smiled and said, "Grandma is joking, you are here in person, and even that Wu Xun congratulations Lan Zhen would not dare to be presumptuous in front of you. You don't want to enter the city, but you are just disdainful of killing people with dirty hands. The group of wizards in the city took their lives in vain, they should thank you."
"Hee hee..." The figure on the horse chuckled softly and nodded with satisfaction, "Not bad, the little mouth is really sweet, grandma likes to hear it."
Chapter 123 A trace of evil spirits (3 more votes)
In the courtyard, Lu Heng sat in the moonlight and flipped through the bamboo slips in his hands.
After a successful practice, he can see with both eyes even in the dark night.
The middle of the night passed quickly.
When the first rays of dawn lit up on the side of the day, there was a sudden scream of pain in the house where Mrs. Wu was.
Lu Heng looked over in amazement and immediately understood what had happened.
The old man who had been lying in bed all night thinking hard, the moment the sun shone into the small courtyard, a ray of sunlight happened to fall on him through the gap in the window.
The old man who was already in the body of a ghost suddenly felt the burning pain, and at the same time he screamed, he quickly shrank into the shadow of the room.
In the next room, the little Gu eagle, who had fallen asleep hanging upside down on Huo Feng's window, was startled by the ghost's cry, and woke up with a sudden flick of his wings.
Lu Heng shook his head wordlessly and said, "Master Wu, I'll take you to the underworld first. You are a ghost body now, and you can't stand the hot sun."
In the room, the old man Wu, who was shrinking in the shadows, nodded quickly. The tingling sensation when he was exposed to the sun just now made him linger in fear.
He finally understood why the Goddess Jiang wanted to lead the souls of the dead into the Water Mansion.
The soul of the deceased wanders in the world after leaving the body. If there is no one to protect it, he is afraid that he will be directly roasted to death by the fierce sun before it dissipates naturally.
This method of death can definitely be called torture.
As Lu Heng sent away the old man's soul, the small courtyard became quiet again. However, the shrill howl still woke Xiao Ai and Huo Feng.
Huo Feng rubbed his eyes and walked out. After greeting Lu Heng, he went to the backyard to wash up.
Lu Heng told Xiao Ai to go to the Fire Temple, and asked her to go to Helan Wuzhu to ask for some practice secrets that could be shared with the outside world.
Although this scroll of bamboo slips in his hand records the mysterious technique, which is enough to study for a long time, Lu Heng still wants to see more secrets and broaden his horizons.
He won't stay in Fushan City for too long, maybe it's time to go south after the Wu family's affairs are dealt with. You have to read more books now.
And Xiao Ai came back not long after she left, holding two scrolls of bamboo slips in her hands.
Xiao Ai said: "Lord Wolf God, Helan Wu wished you to read these two volumes first, and then you can ask her for it at any time after reading it. The library of the Fire Temple is completely open to you."
Lu Heng shook his head and took the two scrolls of bamboo slips.
He thought that Xiao Ai would come with a large stack of briefs, but he didn't expect only two volumes.
However, just after looking at it for a while, Lu Heng's expression became serious.
He even called out to Huo Feng: "I don't need to prepare my portion for today's meal."
After speaking, Lu Heng lowered his head and completely immersed himself in the two newly arrived bamboo slips.
That ecstatic appearance, it seems that he will not care about other things in a short period of time, seeing Huo Feng and Xiao Gu Diao looking at each other.
But the wolf god didn't eat anymore, Huo Feng saved his energy. However, Xiao Ai then said that she would not eat anymore.
In the end, Huo Feng and Xiao Gu Diao were the only people who needed to eat in the yard.
Huo Feng sighed, stood in the kitchen thinking for a few breaths, and finally decided not to cook and went out to eat.
The little Gu eagle had already filled his stomach and ate the fish that Huo Feng brought last night, not even the bones of the fish left.
So Huo Feng, who didn't need to cook, went out again with the little Gu eagle to find food for himself.
Fushan City is lively and prosperous, with countless noodle restaurants and restaurants, including many characteristic mountain delicacies. Huo Feng asked all the way, and finally went to the most famous one.
It was a small two-story restaurant, located in a remote location, but there were many customers in the store.
Huo Feng went upstairs to find a seat, and ordered two signature dishes at random, intending to taste the food of Fushan City.
The little Gu eagle squatted on his shoulders, staring at the guests at another table not far away.
There were three men and two women at the table, all dressed as businessmen, and one of the bearded men was holding a monster in his hand. It looks like a dog with a completely black body, but it has two heads, and is now lying on the ground gnawing on bones.
The little Gu eagle glared at the monster and quickly attracted the monster's attention.
However, just as the monster raised his head and wanted to stare, he could clearly see the appearance of the little Gu eagle.
Although it is only a small eagle, like a juvenile, it is a famous beast after all. There is a vicious aura around the little Gu eagle.
Ordinary people may not feel it, but the beasts are extremely sensitive to it.
The monster whimpered immediately, and crouched down, not daring to be stubborn.
All of this, the bearded man who was eating Haisai and laughing with his companions did not notice, but in the private room next to him, a young woman who had just walked out with the company of his entourage saw it.
She was slightly surprised.
"Oh? Gu eagle?"
The young woman looked at Huo Feng by the window, and the little Gu eagle on Huo Feng's shoulder, quite surprised.
Within the range of the Pangjiang waters, there are still Gu eagles? Wasn't this Gu eagle in Pangjiang killed by that water god more than three hundred years ago? Did this young man bring it from outside
On the side, the attendant serving the woman quickly asked, "Grandma, did you like that little eagle? Why don't you go over and ask to see if the disciple of the Cloud Sect is willing to sell it?"
The woman looked over there and thought for a while, then shook her head and said, "No need, it is better to have less than one more thing."
"Cloud Sect disciples are free and casual, no matter how much they charge, I'm afraid they won't sell... Let's leave."
Saying that, the young woman took the lead and walked towards the stairs.
And the few entourage behind her saw the woman leave, so they quickly followed. Soon, the group of people disappeared into the restaurant.
By the window of the restaurant, Huo Feng, who had been tensing up and pretending to eat vegetables, was relieved to see that the group of people had finally left, and found that his back was covered in cold sweat.
For some reason, the moment he was stared at by the woman just now, he had a feeling of trembling.
It seems that something vicious is staring at it.
And vaguely, he even felt the slightest traces of evil spirits...
This made Huo Feng both frightened and puzzled.
Because he has lost his cultivation base now, theoretically, he cannot detect the breath of others.
But for some reason, he was extremely sensitive to the young woman's breath, and noticed a faint evil spirit.
And among the young woman's entourage, there was one person he knew, who was one of the entourage that the second son of the Wu family had brought into the city.
This young woman is walking with the subordinates of the second son of the Wu family... Could it be related to the Wu family
Huo Feng frowned slightly, feeling that he had to go back and tell the wolf god about this.
As for the inexplicable sense of evil spirits... Maybe the wolf god knows
After walking with the wolf god for so long, maybe the wolf god helped him secretly
After all, this kind of keen perception of evil things has never appeared before...
Chapter 124
Above the restaurant, the little Gu Eagle was still staring at the two-headed black dog not far away, even though the other party had shrunk into a ball and kept showing weakness.
Huo Feng, on the other hand, watched the strange young woman leave with everyone in the Wu family, with a kind of happiness for the rest of her life.
At that moment just now, if this woman thought a little bit, she was afraid that she would die on the spot. This feeling of life and death in the hands of others made Huo Feng extremely uncomfortable.
Looking at the little Gu eagle who still knew nothing on his shoulders, Huo Feng couldn't help sighing and said.
"Gu Yan, Gu Yan, it's a little enviable for you to be so heartless... Unfortunately, I probably won't be able to take you out in the future."
He bumped into such an evil thing as soon as he went out. The other party seemed to be interested in Gu Yan. How could Huo Feng dare to take Gu Yan out in the future
And in the final analysis, it is strange that there are evil spirits in this Fushan City that can infiltrate.
What's even more strange is that this kind of evil spirit that can hide from the wizard of the Fire Temple can be felt by himself
When did Huo Feng become so powerful
Realizing that something was wrong, Huo Feng didn't dare to delay. After paying the money, he hurriedly left the restaurant and headed towards the Fire Temple with an empty stomach.
The dishes on that table were basically untouched.
And the little Gu eagle on the shoulder heard that Huo Feng would not take him out of the house in the future, so he was in a hurry.
Huo Feng said whatever he wanted, so he reluctantly appeased the noisy little guy, and then walked along the most lively streets all the way to the Temple of Fire.
Then he plunged into the Fire Temple.
The moment he stepped into the gate of the Fire Temple, he felt a little sense of security.
In the morning sun, there was an endless stream of pilgrims in the Fire Temple, and wizards appeared from time to time. This huge Huo Temple is not only the administrative place to govern Fushan City, but also the place where the incense of the God of Fire is worshipped. There are not a few people who come to offer incense and pray every day.
Huo Feng walked through the large square where people came and went, and kept walking towards the back of the Fire Temple.
The further you go, the fewer people you see. In the end, it has come to the area where the pilgrims cannot step.
When we got here, all the wizards who appeared were basically wizards with their own duties.
Although Huo Feng's appearance was abrupt, no one came to stop him, because Huo Feng had a travel token on him.
Passing through the area behind the Fire Temple, Huo Feng went straight to the quietest courtyard in Fushan City.
Pushing open the courtyard door, you can see that under the sun, a man in white is sitting quietly in the courtyard, looking at the bamboo slips in his hands.
In the early morning sun, this scene has a slightly ethereal meaning.
Even though Huo Feng was restless, seeing this scene, he was also infected and calmed down involuntarily.
He stood quietly by the door without speaking, and even the lively little Gu eagle shut up obediently at this time.
However, the appearance of one person and one eagle was naturally hidden from Lu Heng.
He raised his head slightly in surprise, looked at Huo Feng by the door, and asked, "Brother Huo, did you bump into something? Why are you so impatient?"
The wolf god took the initiative to speak, and Huo Feng finally breathed a sigh of relief.
Then he smiled bitterly, "Back to the wolf god, this junior seems to have encountered a demon in the city. If the other party didn't have the intention to kill, the junior might not be able to come back."
