Although the umbrella seller's eyes were evasive and his words were evasive, Yan Qing didn't doubt that there was something wrong with everything in the city.The longevity lock is made of gold, with a unicorn engraved on the back and the words "longevity" written on the front. It looks very ordinary.
He walked on the streets of Linxian City and held it up to the light for a long time, but he didn't see anything wrong.
There is a waterway from Linxian City to Zhan City. Xie Shiyi and Yan Qing are both familiar with this place. However, two hundred years later, the place has been turned upside down, and the Zhan River has become obviously deserted.Back then, bamboo rafts and boats were constantly coming and going, but now there are no people on the lake.It was only after he bargained countless times with an old man who was fishing next to him that the old man agreed to send them there.
After Yan Qing got on the boat, he immediately curiously asked the man who was rowing the boat: "Has something happened in this barrier city recently? Why are there so few ferries on the water?"
"There weren't many people left in Zhancheng a few decades ago." The uncle paddled, and seeing how much money he gave him, he said kindly: "I said you two little kids can't go anywhere, why should you go to Zhancheng. In recent years, Zhancheng has been, few people who go in come out. Especially the girls, one by one disappears."
Yan Qing was stunned: "Huh? So many people have disappeared, so the government doesn't care about them."
In his memory, Lizhan City was one of the best cities in the world, and its public security management was good. How could it be reduced to this situation?
The uncle's face trembled when he heard this, and he winked at Yan Qing, looking like he was about to speak but hesitated.
Yan Qing was thoughtful and asked mysteriously: "I heard that the Lord of the City of Barrier City is very seductive. Is it true that all the women who went there were snatched into the house by him?"
The old man almost threw the pulp into the water when his hands shook, and he said angrily: "Tell your voice lower! If you don't want your life, I want my life!"
Yan Qing smiled and rolled his eyes, comforting him: "Sir, what are you afraid of? We are on the water, and there is no one in the area for hundreds of miles. What we talk about is that you know what I know, what the heavens know, and what the earth knows. The Lord of the City of Barrier City is a mortal, but he can still be clairvoyant.It’s impossible to follow the wind.”
The uncle rolled his eyes: "Do you know that the Lord of Zhancheng City is a mortal?"
Yan Qing: "I heard that after the five families in the city were massacred, now there are only mortals in the city."
The uncle looked at him as if he were a young man: "A skinny camel is bigger than a horse. I think the lord of Zhan City is most likely a monk. You know, the Chu State officials don't dare to take care of Zhan City's affairs, so many people have disappeared.No shit at all."
Yan Qing said: "The government dare not take care of it, but the Immortal Platform doesn't care?"
The Immortal Platform is an institution set up by Heaven in the human world to kill demons with powerful cultivation bases.
The uncle's face trembled and he said: "Little baby, the origin of the Lord of Zhancheng is not simple. I advise you to come out as soon as you finish delivering the things. Don't stay in there for too long. The longer you stay, the more likely things will happen."
Yan Qing keenly caught the meaning of his words and smiled: "Uncle, you mean that the Immortal Platform can't control Barrier City?"
The Immortal Terrace ignores the imperial power in the human world, and the Immortal Terrace cannot handle it. There is only one reason: behind the city lord of the barrier city is Shang Zhongtian.
uncle:"……"
The old man was really ruined talking to him. He glanced at Xie Shiyi, who was sitting quietly at the stern of the boat, and immediately changed the subject: "Oh, is your friend not in good health? I see that the kid's face is pale. How about you take him in?"Sitting in the canopy?"
When Yan Qing heard about Xie Shiyi, he immediately shut up obediently and stopped asking further questions.Watching the young man in green clothes turn and leave, the uncle silently pinched himself, thinking that a newborn calf is not afraid of tigers and dares to say anything.
The oars plunged into the lake, causing ripples.
There are birds flying by in the sky, the floating light is golden, the clear water is like a mirror, and the mountains are clear and clear.This boat was just an ordinary fishing boat. The bow was just big enough for the two of them to sit and stand. Even if Xie Shiyi's snow-colored robes were beside the damp and decaying boat, they were still as spotless as crossing the clear sky.
Yan Qing found it inconvenient to stand, so he sat down with Xie Shiyi.He sat on the other side and looked in the same direction as Xie Shiyi.
The direction of the barrier city.
When they first left Zhengcheng, various boats were passing by on the river, and the crowd was too crowded, so no one could tell that they were the proud son of heaven who became famous from now on.In the blink of an eye, a hundred years have passed, and a dream has passed.
Yan Qing raised the corners of his lips and stretched out his hand to wave in front of Xie Shiyi: "You are not missing the past, are you?"
Xie Shiyi looked away from the green mountains, looked at Yan Qing, and said, "There is a formation outside the barrier city."
Yan Qing: "Huh?"
Xie Shiyi said: "I can't see clearly what is going on inside."
Unexpectedly, even Xie Shiyi's consciousness could not be detected. Yan Qing frowned and told him about the conversation he had just had with the boatman: "I heard that people who have gone to Barrier City over the years have never returned, especiallyWoman. Yu Xin’s previous investigation said that the Lord of Zhancheng City was lecherous. Do you think the disappearance of those women might be related to him?”
Xie Shiyi repeated softly: "Are you lustful? Not really."
After hearing what he said, Yan Qing nodded: "Indeed, it is not only women who have gone without returning, but also missing women, old and young." The women who went to Barrier City were not only young, but also young girls and old women.If everything is missing, we can't just point at lust.
Yan Qing muttered: "What do you think the Qin family thinks of Zhan City?"
When Xie Shiyi heard what he said, his tone was as cold as snow, and his dark and cold eyes looked across the mountains and rivers at the city that had been raining all year round. He said without any fluctuations: "I think this may be the fourth chapter of the Qin family in the world.One hundred and eighty temple.”
Four hundred and eighty temples...
Yan Qing was stunned.
In the flash of lightning, Yan Qing raised his head and said, "In your original plan, how would you deal with the barrier city."
Xie Shiyi raised her eyes and glanced at him: "Why do you ask?"
Based on his understanding of Xie Shiyi, Yan Qing said: "You should block the city directly. If necessary, it is not impossible to massacre the city."
After saying that, Yan Qing laughed out loud and said, "Yaoyao, you are obviously not a person who cares about the world. Why did you become the leader of the Immortal Alliance in the first place?" Just like in the secret realm of the Rejuvenating Sect Zixiao, Xie ShiYi's arrival is not for the so-called justice and fairness. Many times, he just needs the answer he wants.

Xie Shiyi did not deny it, his expression remained unchanged, and he said calmly: "Yan Qing, the leader of the Immortal Alliance does not need to worry about the world. This identity is set up for killing."
Yan Qing asked lightly, "Wouldn't you lose yourself if you kill too much?" There are so many desires in the world, and killing is the one that makes people go crazy the most.
Xie Shiyi smiled softly when he heard this, and said calmly: "Well, so he can't be taken by a bad person, nor can he be taken by a good person."
Yan Qing was stunned for a moment. In this era of demons, he could not define the concept of the Immortal Alliance with any previous concepts.Xie Shiyi's words are right. The leader of the Immortal Alliance cannot be taken by bad people, nor can it be done by good people.
Yan Qing smiled, feeling a little sad in his heart.
He had been accustomed to the bloody rules of the strong being respected in the Demon Realm before, but after reaching the heaven, he still hoped that Xie Shiyi could stand in the light of thousands of feet.
"Unfettered power actually has heavier shackles." Xie Shiyi said: "The essence of Xiaoyu Palace is a cage."
Yan Qing: "Then why did you agree in the first place?"
Xie Shiyi looked at him quietly with her eyes, and wrote lightly: "Because at the beginning, I was very curious about the nightmare, especially curious."
It was said "nightmare", but when the river wind blew by, it sounded more like "you" to my ears.
The misunderstanding back then, in a sense, completely changed the future choices of the two of them.
The boat is about to dock, and the peach blossoms on the shore fall into the water, forming a bright pink strip.
Yan Qing said softly: "When the nightmare disappears completely, the Immortal Alliance should no longer need to exist."
Xie Shiyi paused and said slowly: "Actually, I have no interest in Nightmare now. I am more interested in how to kill the Demon God."
Yan Qing couldn't help but laugh out loud and rolled his eyes: "What a coincidence, so do I."
After taking the one hundred taels he got from the owner of the oil-paper umbrella shop, he divided ten taels among them and gave them to the boatman as payment.Yan Qing jumped off the bow of the boat and walked inside. From Linxian City to here, the sky had begun to slowly turn dark. By the time they walked through a forest and a hill without using magic skills, and arrived in front of the barrier city gate,I saw a completely different scene than before.
There are trees growing in front of the gate of Zhancheng, and the vegetation becomes deeper in spring.
There were heavy clouds over the city gate, and there were heavy troops guarding the city gate, making it difficult to enter and exit.
He and Xie Shiyi didn't even need to register when entering the city gate, and the officers and soldiers looked at them intently.
Yan Qing played with the longevity lock in his hand, looking for trouble.People ignored him, but he insisted on talking to them.
"Master Jun, I'm new here. Can you ask me a question?"
The guard looked at him coldly, as if he were a dying man, and said nothing.
Yan Qing raised the longevity lock in his hand: "I have been entrusted by someone to deliver the longevity lock to the Su family in the city. I don't know where the Su family is in the city. Knowing the direction will save me some detours."
When the guard heard that the Su family's brows were so furrowed that they could pick up a fly in an instant, the guard said, "Su family? Who are you looking for?"
Yan Qing: "The wife of the Su family."
The guard showed an unexpected smile and said extremely mockingly: "Sure enough, it's this woman again." However, he obviously looked down upon Yan Qing even more, and said, "The Su family is in the east of the city."
Yan Qing: "Okay, thank you, sir."
Since Xie Shiyi arrived in Zhengcheng, he had just watched everything he did, without saying a word to stop him, and just let Qing do whatever he wanted.
The streets of Zhancheng are still bustling, with pavilions everywhere and various shops and restaurants on the streets. However, what is visible to the naked eye is that there are no women and very few children in the city.Most of the people coming and going were young people and old people. When they saw the two strangers, they all cast strange glances.
As they were walking on the road, someone came out enthusiastically and asked where they were going.After Yan Qing reported the name of the Su family, the man's smile stopped instantly. As he walked, he muttered and cursed in the dialect of Zhencheng: "I just said that this woman is unlucky, and I don't know what kind of evil Su Qu is.I wasted half my life to get her from the city lord." He probably thought that Yan Qing and Xie Shiyi didn't understand, so he scolded and said, "There are fewer and fewer women coming here.It’s getting sad.”
Back then, Xie Shiyi burned down all five families in the city.All the magnificent buildings today were built later.Yan Qing looked at the eyes of the people in Zhancheng, who treated them as fat sheep for slaughter, and felt strangely speechless.Do they know what kind of murderous god they are planning now?
Relying on his ability to talk nonsense to people and ghosts, Yan Qing made many lies along the way and came up with a lot of things.
The head of the Su family, Su Qu, is the most capable general under the lord of the city of Zhancheng. His current status here can be said to be one person below ten thousand people.
Yan Qing also went to make excuses and asked tactfully why there were so few women in the city.
Perhaps because Yan Qing made them happy, the person who led them also said bluntly: "I'm recuperating at home. I'm sick and can't come out."
Yan Qing: "Sick? Everyone is sick at the same time?" Yan Qing asked fearfully: "What kind of disease are you getting? Doesn't anyone go to the doctor to get medicine?"
When this person mentioned this, he had a naive look on his face: "It's not them who should take the medicine, it's us who should take the medicine."
Yan Qing: "?"
The man rolled his eyes, took out a bottle of medicine from his sleeve, and smiled as if he saw a new business opportunity: "Has the young man gotten married yet?"
Yan Qing glanced at Xie Shiyi and said with a smile, "I'm not married yet, but I have a fiancée."
The man asked: "How is your fiancée? Is she a bit fierce?"
Yan Qing clicked her tongue and said, "No, my fiancée is not a proactive person."
Hearing this, the man immediately made a lewd noise: "If she doesn't take the initiative, you have to take the initiative. Look at my medicine, how about selling it to you for ten taels of silver."
Yan Qing looked at the medicine bottle in his hand. There were three words "Strengthening Pills" written clearly on it.
"This is a must-have product for every household in Zhancheng! You can't even buy it outside."
Yan Qing: "..." He thought he would see all kinds of weird and sinister scenes when he came to Zhancheng, but now he was fooled.
