I just want to be a quiet man

"Thank you Senior Sister Chen." Pei Ling said, "When the time comes to deal with the flower demon, please take care of Senior Sister Chen."

Chen Mei looked at him with a smile: "Junior Brother Pei is very polite, there is absolutely no problem with me joining forces!"

She looked down at Luoshan City under her feet, and introduced a few words about the local customs and customs. Obviously, she had done her homework before coming. At this time, the cloud of corpses landed on a specially made high platform in the city, and then quickly dissipated.

Chapter 29: Lord of Duanmu City.

There were soldiers guarding around the high platform. When they saw a group of people, they hurriedly knelt down and saluted, saying, "See all the immortal teachers and fairies!"

"Let's go to the City Lord's Mansion first." Chen Huan and the others had a lot of tasks, they were used to seeing similar scenes, and they didn't even look at the soldiers, they said to Pei Ling, "The City Lord Duanmu here is a senior in the Foundation Establishment period, wait a moment. After seeing it, don't be rude!"

Pei Ling nodded: "Senior Brother Chen, don't worry, I've written it down."

After a while, they arrived at the City Lord's Mansion. Although Luoshan City and Luquan City were ruled by the Chongming Sect, they were obviously much richer.The City Lord's Mansion is also far taller and taller than the City Lord's Mansion in Luquan City.

When I got to the door, I knew the origin of my identity, and in a short time, a housekeeper came out to greet him.

Just stepping over the threshold, I suddenly felt a lightness all over my body, as if there was a breeze blowing towards my face, and the whole person felt a little more relaxed.

Noticing that Pei Ling seemed to have doubts, Chen Mei explained with a light smile: "The city master of Duanmu is a formation cultivator. This city master's mansion has a spirit gathering array, which is a simplified version of the great spirit gathering array on Huaiyin Peak, which can nourish Muscles and bones, and conducive to practice."

"Thank you, Senior Sister Chen." Pei Ling thanked him and looked around, but he saw that the courtyard along the way of the mansion was deep, and the vegetation was sparse. Occasionally, servants and maids passed by. Seeing the housekeeper personally attracting guests, they all retreated to the side, bowing their eyebrows and showing respect. .

Not long after, they were ushered into a side hall.

The hall is beautifully furnished, surrounded by eight melon-style floor-to-ceiling lanterns, with many jugglers embroidered on the lampshade. When the housekeeper greets the group to take a seat, the maid serves tea and gives a light high-five. These jugglers jump out of the lampshade one after another. When he came out and landed, he was like a stranger.

He bowed his head and bowed, and began to perform various juggling performances.

The housekeeper said with a smile: "The city lord is busy with some government affairs. He will come to see the distinguished guests later, and please sit down."

During the conversation, another group of beautiful girls entered, holding golden silver pots in their hands, filled with melons, fruits and cakes, and served them diligently.

"I don't dare to disturb Senior Duanmu." Chen Huan said quickly, "I was waiting for a job, so how dare I work for Senior? Senior Brother Duanmu's handwriting is here, and please ask the steward to pass it on to Senior."

The housekeeper said politely: "The city lord said that you have come from a long way, and it is better to leave the distinguished guests to rest in the mansion for a few days. As for the letter from the young city lord, the city lord will come after a meeting, and please deliver it in person."

Chen Huan and the others didn't really want to leave either.

After about half a day, it was time to hold the lamp. There was a slight cough from outside, and the juggler suddenly turned into silhouettes and returned to the lampshade.

The female tricksters also stopped immediately to persuade the wine to tease, and they all turned their faces and stood upright.

The butler looked respectful: "The city lord is here."

Chen Huan and the others were all awe-inspiring and stood up to greet them.

After a few moments, a group of entourage surrounded a middle-aged man and entered.

This man looked about forty years old, with a grand appearance, with a short beard under his chin, and his eyes shining brightly, he looked very shrewd and capable.

When Chen Huan and the others saw him, they quickly got up and left their seats, greeting him respectfully: "After a long absence, the city lord's demeanor is even better than before!"

"I'm old, I'm not as young as you, and my future is limitless." Duanmu City Lord was very polite, "The child is in the sect, and I have to ask you to take care of me."

The two sides exchanged a few words, Chen Huan took out his son's handwriting, Duanmu City Lord took it and thanked him, but did not leave immediately, but asked with a smile: "Do you have any other tasks this time? If it is in Luoshan City Nearby, maybe I can make a trip or two convenient?"

"I have a question from the City Lord Lao." Chen Huan respectfully said, "I was about to ask the City Lord for guidance: We have two tasks here, one is the flower demon outside the city; the other is the purple eye in Luoshan. mink."

"The flower demon outside the city is just the fourth floor of Kaihui." Duanmu City Lord heard the words, stroked his chin and short beard, and said with a smile, "For everyone, it's not something to be afraid of, so I won't say more. As for that Purple-eyed sable, although the speed is extremely fast, since you have taken this task, you must have come prepared, and it was not a problem at first, but it has been a little troublesome recently."

"Trouble?" Chen Huan was stunned, and quickly exchanged glances with Huang Xian and Zhang Zhongqin, clasped his fists and said, "Also ask the city lord for guidance!"

Duanmu City Lord said slowly: "Because recently a foundation-building human-faced spider came out from the depths of Luoshan to lay eggs, and it happened to be selected near the site of the purple-eyed sable."

When Chen Huan and his party heard the words, their expressions changed: "Human-faced spider?"

"That's right." City Lord Duanmu sighed, "After I found out, I originally wanted to remove it so as not to bring hidden dangers to Luoshan City. It's just that I had an accident 20 years ago. I shot with all my strength. Although the man-faced spider was seriously injured due to childbirth, I was not completely sure, so I could only let it build a nest outside Luoshan, but ordered the people under it not to approach it rashly, so as not to prey on it. "

Seeing Chen Huan and others hesitating, after thinking about it, he said, "However, your task may not be impossible to complete."

"City Lord please enlighten me!" Chen Huan asked quickly, "But I don't know what we should do?"

Although the main purpose of their trip was for Pei Ling, none of the disciples of the Chongming Sect would think that there are too many spirit stones. The task of Ziyan Sable is very rewarding.

Duanmu City Lord said: "Although I couldn't get rid of the human face spider, I have observed it secretly for many days, but I have probably understood its current range of activities. I will ask the steward to get a map for you later, and then you can work harder. Just go around in circles."

Chen Huan and the others breathed a sigh of relief and solemnly thanked the city lord.

After talking a few more scenes, Duanmu City Lord excused himself to leave in a hurry, leaving only the housekeeper to come down to entertain them.

This time, it was not in the side hall, but moved to a waterside pavilion. Delicious food has already been prepared here, and there are two altars of low-level spirit wine brewed from some special spirit fruit according to Chen Mei. Helps to practice.

"City Lord Duanmu is really generous." Seeing these two jars of spirit wine, even Chen Huan, who had been very decent before, couldn't help showing a touch of joy, and said happily, "It's not in vain for me to win this task."

This kind of spirit wine seems to be very rare. Chen Huan even put one of the jars into the storage bag in public, and only opened one jar to give to the people at the banquet.

Pei Ling picked up the wine glass and took a sip, his eyes lit up immediately, the light blue wine had a mellow aroma, and after a shallow sip, it was long and spicy in his throat, and then a flame seemed to rise in his dantian, quickly burning to the limbs and bones.

In this short period of time, the spiritual power in his body has grown by a small amount.

"Yin Corpse Cloud needs ten spiritual stones to rent a time, and sending letters and Taohuayan's quest rewards add up to that amount of spiritual stones." Seeing this, Pei Ling couldn't help but think to himself, "It seems that the reason why Chen Huan et al. The reason for taking these two tasks is that there are additional benefits to take."

Chapter 30: Fright in the Yard.

Thinking of this, Pei Ling asked Chen Mei: "Senior Sister Chen, how many spirit stones are there in this spirit wine?"

"Don't worry, my brother just thinks that our cultivation base is low. It's a waste to drink two jars of wine now. It's better to collect one jar first and use it later. At that time, you will definitely not lose your share." Chen Mei heard the words, smiled slightly, and said soothingly.

Hearing this, Pei Ling couldn't help shaking his head secretly. He suspected that Chen Huan's mission to deliver the letter was mainly for this spirit wine.

Now that the benefits are in hand, how can there be any reason to share it with others?

It's just that Chen Huan has a sixth-level Qi cultivation base after all, and he can't fall out with the other party just for a jar of spirit wine...

"It's okay, I'm just asking casually." Pei Ling replied, and while speaking, he took the opportunity to drink a few more glasses. Of course, this kind of spirit wine that can slightly enhance his cultivation should not be wasted.

After drinking the spirit wine, Pei Ling said no more, and bowed his head to eat vegetables.

That night, after Pei Ling went to the banquet, Chen Huan and others were arranged by the housekeeper to rest in the guest house.

The guest house of the City Lord's Mansion occupies a garden in the southeast corner alone, and the so-called guest rooms are pavilions and pavilions scattered in the rockery and ponds.

The housekeeper obviously arranged accommodation for them according to the level of their cultivation, but when Pei Ling was arranged, Huang Xian suddenly said: "Junior Brother Pei joined the sect not long ago, and he doesn't understand many things, so he would still be with me and Senior Brother Chen, which is also convenient for us to give pointers. he."

Hearing that, the housekeeper was a little surprised, but didn't say anything: "If that's the case, then Mr. Pei Ling should ask to live in the small building in the middle of the two residences."

Pei Ling was also a bit strange about Huang Xian's words. After all, Huang Xian couldn't say that he completely ignored him, but he was not lukewarm.On the other hand, Chen Mei is very enthusiastic and has endless things to say every day.At this time, if Chen Huan asked Pei Ling to live with him, it would be fine, why would Huang Xian speak?

But on second thought, maybe it was because Chen Mei was too enthusiastic about him, and Huang Xian didn't want him to be placed near Chen Mei?

Now his mind is full of earning spirit stones, and he is so happy that he doesn't say anything.

Because he hadn't been able to rest well on the cloud of corpses these days, after entering the room, he waved back the handmaiden who offered the pillow seat, and fell asleep.

However, not long after he slept, a chilly breath woke him up from his sleep!

Pei Ling abruptly sat up from the bed, and before his eyes were fully opened, he had already grabbed the sickening knife at the head of the bed.

I looked around vigilantly, and I saw the furnishings of the shadows, but there was nothing unusual, but the chilly atmosphere became more and more serious.

The surroundings were surprisingly quiet. Originally, the small building was located among the lush vegetation. After nightfall, the insects chirped endlessly, but at this moment, everything was silent, and he could even hear his own heartbeat clearly.

Pei Ling was startled, and the drowsiness that was still there was swept away in an instant.

Without thinking about it, he suddenly stepped down and slammed into the window not far away. At the same time, he shouted for help: "Senior Brother Chen! Senior Brother Huang!"

His voice fell in the empty courtyard, causing echoes like whimpering. Pei Ling turned over and landed in the courtyard in front of the small building, but was shocked to find that the surroundings were quiet, as if he was alone.

And the sight is not the vibrant garden when you came in, but a dilapidated and desolate place.

The ground seems to have not been cleaned for many years, and thick dust has accumulated.

The originally lush flower bed now grows a black vine with its teeth and claws. It looks gloomy and makes people want to walk around it subconsciously.

The sparkling pond is now dark and dark, and the koi inside it has also become an unknown creature whose dorsal fin quickly pierces the water surface.

Pei Ling's heart was awe-inspiring, and he slowly pulled out the loathing knife, looking around vigilantly.

At this moment, he heard a burst of small footsteps, and was walking towards him unhurriedly. He looked up, but no one was there.In the midst of suspicion, his eyes lowered, and he suddenly gasped: On the bluestone ground with thick dust, there was a line of footprints winding towards him!

The footprints were small and small, as if they were a child. Just looking at them, they were quite lovable.

However, Pei Ling not only could not give birth to love, but also felt creepy.

He clenched the hatred knife tightly, saw the footprints approaching nearby, and slashed it with a knife.

"what!!!!"

The screams of children who could not tell the difference between male and female resounded in the courtyard!

The voice was high-pitched and harsh, not to mention Chen Huan and Huang Xian who lived in the left and right pavilions, even Chen Mei and others who were farther away should have been alarmed.

But the surrounding houses were still silent, as if no one had ever lived there.

Pei Ling was in awe. He didn't actually feel that the sickening knife had cut anything, but the invisible thing obviously suffered. The next moment, there were footsteps in all directions.

Then came a scene that made Pei Ling's scalp numb: there were dense footprints of children on the ground in the courtyard.

There were even traces of a crawling baby, rushing towards him like a tide.

"Ghost? Strange thing?" Pei Ling was horrified, and the blood-shattering sword technique was unfolded. When the blood was tumbling, a bloody light seemed to rise in the gray courtyard. The huge arc, the veil-like blood mist wrapped the body of the sickening knife, slightly illuminating the scene of the square inch. This time, he still didn't feel anything, but he could see it.

Where the blood mist swept across the blade, there were countless large and small translucent children, all of them under the age of ten, but their faces did not have the innocent innocence that a child of this age should have, on the contrary, it was indescribable. Evil.

Pairs of eyes looked at Pei Ling, only to see the whites of the eyes but not the eyeballs, and the pale gaze was full of extreme resentment.

It was as if Pei Ling was the enemy who killed them.

Even if the blood mist was swept across, it was like ice and snow that had no resistance to disappear, but that kind of resentment increased rather than decreased.

"Senior Brother Chen! Senior Brother Huang!" Pei Ling shouted loudly as he chopped around, "Senior Brother Zhang! Senior Sister Xiao! Senior Sister Chen! This City Lord's Mansion is weird!"

The pavilions around him were dead silent. Only in the courtyard where he lived, screams continued in an endless stream, but there were only a lot of children who rushed forward, and they were not afraid of death.

What exactly is going on? !

Pei Ling called for help one after another to no avail, no longer pinning his hopes on the help of others, but thinking about getting out of trouble alone.

Why is there such a danger in the guest house where the City Lord's Mansion entertains the disciples of the Chongming Sect?

Chen Huan and others are fine. He saw the Duanmu City Lord for the first time today, and it can be said that he has no grievances or enmity with this City Lord.

Could it be that the family members of Li Siguang bought the Duanmu City Lord? !

No, it shouldn't be!

Pei Ling quickly rejected his guess, because Duanmu City Lord is a cultivator in the foundation-building period. If he wants to be unfavorable to Pei Ling, he doesn't need so many tricks at all, just start.

But if City Lord Duanmu is no problem, who would dare to play tricks in the mansion of this foundation-building cultivator? !

Chapter 31: The ten-day limit.

Pei Ling was only slightly distracted, and felt that the hem of his clothes suddenly weighed, and he was caught by an invisible child-like thing.

He slashed with a backhand knife, but he didn't hear the screams, but a pain in his thigh, the ghost was going to bite him even if it disappeared!

This ghost took the lead, and then, the footsteps around him became more and more dense, as if he had a deep hatred with Pei Ling, he rushed up hysterically, desperate and unscrupulous... Pei Ling became more and more frightened as he fought. The blood mist on the knife was dripping with color, and every time the knife went out, it was accompanied by a series of screams, and at least a dozen ghosts disappeared.

Rao was vulnerable, but the ants killed the elephant. As he swung the knife again and again, the sweat on Pei Ling's forehead kept falling, and his physical strength was already exhausted, but the number of opponents seemed to be endless!

After a long while, Pei Ling began to have wounds.

He gasped heavily and tried to retreat to the outside of the courtyard, but he fought back to the courtyard gate and kicked it hard... but found that after the courtyard door was broken, the outside was not the same bluestone path as before, but a seemingly endless darkness.

The darkness was full of gloom and ominousness.

Pei Ling originally planned to grit his teeth and step in to see if it was a cover-up, but when he approached the darkness, he felt a shudder, as if his whole body was full of instinctive resistance to entering the darkness.

"This is...?" Pei Ling wiped away the cold sweat, and with just a little effort, he felt another bite mark on the back of his hand, but at this moment, suddenly blessed to the heart, he shouted, "I have practiced the blood evil sword technique, Wu Liu The girl hasn't shown up yet?"

The fine has been hanging above his head these days, and he almost forgot about Fairy Li's ten-day limit!

Sure enough, as soon as he finished speaking, in the darkness outside the courtyard, there was a light hum.

The dense footprints around them seemed to be frightened, and they let out a shrill cry that seemed to disperse.It's just that a black light suddenly flew out of the darkness, turning into countless tiny swimming fish, chasing in all directions.

For a time, I only heard the rustling sound inside and outside the courtyard, as if spring was eating leaves, trivial and continuous, and Pei Ling's color changed slightly.

At the same time, Pei Ling only felt that the temperature around him had dropped sharply. His back was particularly icy and biting. There was a soft and cold body attached to it. Two pale arms crossed his shoulders and slowly wrapped around his neck. Liu exhaled like frost, his lips were almost glued to his earlobe, and he whispered like a lover: "Young Master Pei Ling... Now that you have mastered the bloody sword technique, why do you still run away?"

"Do you know that it's hard for people to find you in Huaiyin Peak..."
