"The weather is dry, be careful of the candles—" the watchman knocked on his clapper, dragged his voice carelessly, and walked sleepily through the streets and alleys.

It rained all day yesterday, and it will stop this afternoon. Qingyue Lane is wet and slippery, and if you are not careful, you will fall.

After falling on the third horse, the watchman spat angrily, spit out a mouthful of thick phlegm, cursed and continued to walk.

Suddenly, something seemed to be kicked under his feet, and it felt soft.The watchman frowned, took two steps back, and raised the lantern to see——

I saw a person lying on the ground, his clothes were ruined, his hair was messy, his eyes were round, and his face was full of horror.The exposed skin was covered with bruises, and the blood had not completely dried.

The watchman was so frightened that he sat down on the ground and ran away from here: "Murder—help—killer!!"

And the lantern he left on the spot was picked up by a plain white hand, without burning the body to ashes.

The owner of the hand chuckled, and slowly walked out of the alley with the lantern in hand.On his back waist, pinned two pitch-black daggers.

Not long after he left, the watchman hurried over with his men.There are so many courageous people, and all the young men who come here are young men in the age of seventeen or eighteen, vividly showing the image of a calf who is not afraid of tigers.

One of them was even more daring. When the crowd was arguing about whether they should step forward to check, he took the lead and rushed directly to the corpse.

Holding the torch, the young man squatted down, wishing he could smash the fire stick in his hand to the corpse's face.

"You don't want to kill you!" The watchman was so frightened when he saw it, he took a step forward and slapped the young man on the head, with a very hateful tone.

The young man groaned, stood up, covered his head, and complained, "Why hit me? It's just a dead person. Could it be that he can still fake a corpse?"

"Still talking nonsense!" The watchman was so angry that he slapped him again.

"Hey, don't rush to fight." Someone in the crowd stopped him, "Sixth brother, you just watched for so long, did you see any tricks?"

The young man called "Sixth Brother" scratched his head and said, "It looks like a fight between cultivators. If you lose, you will die. But..."

"But what?"

"The wound on his body is not quite right. It doesn't look like it was made by a cultivator. Judging by the technique, it looks a bit like a seasoned immortal cultivator." Sixth Brother hesitated.

"But...if you are really a cultivator, why do you want to have trouble with a cultivator? Is there some deep hatred between the two of them that makes people prefer to fight the punishment of heaven and act first?"

"This... I don't understand either." Sixth Brother curled his lips, he is not a policeman, how could he know everything?

"Oh, by the way, isn't the young master of Pingting Xiaozhu here with us? Why don't we go and beg him to help find out what's going on?"

"That's right! Let the young master check it out for us, lest another devil be born and act recklessly!" Someone immediately echoed loudly.

The cultivator was killed for no reason, and he was still on Pingting Xiaozhu's territory.Don't say that the young master is here, even if he is not here, it is necessary to go there and check it out.

It's just a coincidence that the young master of Pingting Xiaozhu packed up his things the night before and just left, leaving only two or three rent-collectors here.Brother Six and his party couldn't find anyone, and they lost their minds.

Those followers were easy to talk to, seeing that they were really flustered, so they went to have a look.

At this time, the sky suddenly broke, and the east was burned red.Xi Wei's light fell on the corpse, illuminating the frightened face.

One of the attendants observed carefully for a moment, "Hey", and said: "Isn't this the traitor that the young master asked the owner of Jiuyan Tower to deal with half a month ago? So he escaped here?"

Everyone was a little confused: wait a minute, who are you talking about?

There was a great chaos in Jiuyan Building five years ago.The old landlord suddenly went berserk and became violent, killing many elite talents in the building. He died violently three months later, and the cause of death is a mystery.

However, that period of time happened to be a period of great exchange of blood for the immortal cultivators in the world.Therefore, it is not uncommon for all the cultivators in the world to die, not to mention the death of a landlord.

However, once the old landlord died, the group of dragons and dragons in Jiuyanlou had no leader, and the branch landlords scattered all over the place had their own thoughts.

While returning to the main building under the banner of condolence, they fought openly and secretly, wishing to take power into their hands.

This civil strife lasted for three years, and it stopped intermittently for a period of time, and then started fighting again.Many practitioners who had just started to gather Qi died because of that civil strife.

Two years ago, a little-known young man was born out of nowhere, and with lightning speed, he won the token of the landlord of Yanlou and became the new landlord.

The other sub-hosts were dissatisfied with his leadership of a little baby, but because of three years of fighting, their own strength was greatly reduced. Let alone a duel with the new sub-host, even if they joined forces, they might not be his opponent!

In this way, under the reluctant surrender of all the sub-hosts, the young man sat firmly in the seat of the host of the smoke tower.And very capriciously, changed the name of Yanlou to "Jiuyanlou".

To this, everyone in the building has no objection, after all they all know the origin of the name of Yanlou, and they will not object to the host's decision because of this.

"The name of Yanlou, and its origin?"

"That's not true! It is said that the first owner of Yanlou likes to smoke, so he named his strength "Yanlou".

Later, there were eight landlords who love to smoke, and the name of the smoke building was changed again and again.No, the new owner is the eighth smoker, so it's not surprising to change it to "Jiuyanlou"! "It's strange that he doesn't change!

The origin of the name sounds a bit familiar.Brother Six rubbed his chin and thought hard, feeling like he had heard of it somewhere.

"Sixth brother, what are you thinking? Hurry up!" Someone called him back.

Sixth brother quickly responded: "Hey, here we come!"

As for the traitor from Pingting Xiaozhu who died in Qingyue Lane, Pingting Xiaozhu's followers will deal with it, so it's not their concern!

The sixth brother was happily holding the hot meat buns just out of the oven, and put the matter behind him.

Maybe he was too relaxed and didn't pay attention to the road.I accidentally bumped into someone while turning a corner.

The sixth brother didn't care about the buns in his arms, and apologized repeatedly: "I'm sorry, I'm sorry, are you okay?"

The man waved his hand, pulled his hood, and left in a hurry.

Brother Six touched the bun in his arms, but luckily it wasn't broken.He was a little strange, why do people still wear such thick hoods on hot days?That must be... mink, right?Are you not afraid of covering up prickly heat?

Of course not.Because the hood is bought temporarily, it does not need to be worn all the time.

Gu Zhuangcheng easily sneaked out of the city, took off his heavy hat, and a thin layer of sweat broke out on his forehead.

Three or four miles away from the gate of the city, there was a carriage parked, which looked very inconspicuous.

Gu Zhuangcheng looked around, bent down and got into the car, opened the curtain and laughed, "I thought you were going ahead, but I didn't expect you to be here waiting for me to come out."

The people inside were still resting with their eyes closed at first, but they also opened their eyes when they heard the words, and said with a smile, "I'm not at ease."

"What are you worried about? Me? Or that traitor?"

Gu Zhuangcheng got in, unceremoniously poured himself a cup of herbal tea, and gulped it down.

He chewed peonies like this, and the man didn't feel sorry for him, left and right were not rare things, he had as much as he wanted. "All worried." He replied.

Gu Zhuangcheng shook his head and said with a smile: "Then Young Master Ye is a loser in this deal. If you entrust such a big matter to the next fledgling kid, aren't you afraid that I will ruin your business?"

It turned out that the person waiting in the carriage was the young master of Pingting Xiaozhu, Ye Fangping.

Ye Fangping looked calm, but nodded without hesitation: "Yes, I am also worried about this. But now it seems that I don't need to worry."

"Of course you don't need to worry." Gu Zhuangcheng picked up another piece of snack from the plate and threw it into his mouth to chew, "Because, in this world, there is no one I can't kill, and there is nothing I can't do!"

This is quite a bold statement.But Ye Fangping just looked at him silently for a few seconds, and said two words silently: "Shen Yan?"

The very heroic Master Gu was instantly discouraged: "Hey!"

"Just kidding." Ye Fangping seemed to smile.

Shen Yan's ability is not outstanding, if compared, he can only be regarded as a top-notch expert at best, and there are super-expert experts on top of him.But he can survive until now, not only by strength, but also by luck.

For them, strength is sometimes not particularly important, but luck is more important.

After all, Heavenly Dao won't give you a break because of your strength, you'll have to die anyway.

Gu Zhuangcheng didn't speak.Everyone said that Shen Yan could not be killed.This sentence is actually wrong, only he knows that Shen Yan has not died so far, not because he cannot be killed, but because the person who killed him has not found his weakness and cannot beat him.

There are not many people in this world who can kill Shen Yan, and he may be one of them.However, he didn't come here to kill Shen Yan.

"How long are you going to stay in the car?" Ye Fangping was stunned for a while, and when she came back to her senses, she found that the man was still there. Almost all the snacks on the low table had gone into his stomach, and there was not much herbal tea left. , could not help being very dissatisfied.

"Half a month later..." Gu Zhuangcheng bit his snack and said vaguely, "I'll wait for you in the building."

Ye Fangping frowned slightly.The way he frowns is very beautiful. Some people say that his appearance fully satisfies everyone's guess about the scene of "Beauty Holding Hearts", and he looks very pitiful.

...Of course, the person who said this sentence has long been dragged out to fill the hole and feed the crap.

Gu Zhuangcheng clapped his hands, turned over and got out of the car a second before Ye Fangping made a move, and within a few seconds, he disappeared from sight.

Ye Fangping was left alone in the car, gnashing her teeth and staring at the mess in the car.
