Crack, crackle.

The wood in the fire crackled and made a crisp sound. The roasted beast meat on it was stained with blood, so it was taken off and eaten by people.

If you look carefully, you will see that the back of the meat-eating man's hands are also covered with bristles, which does not look like an ordinary thing.

Hu Yandong and Hu Yanbin, father and son, had long bronze nails nailed to their bodies and were engraved with talismans and inscriptions. They completely suppressed their cultivation and sat aside obediently.

There were four or five giant half-demon standing aside, holding magic weapons and sharp blades, watching their every move.

Following the sound of footsteps, Lu Jiangtong's sinister figure came over again, carrying a large beast's hind leg in his hand.

"City Lord, Young City Lord." He smiled with his trademark sarcasm, "You really don't want to eat a little? No matter how high your cultivation level is, you still need to have spiritual replenishment when you are injured."

"No need." Hu Yandong shook his head.

"Are you worried that we may have drugged it?" Lu Jiangtong said as he tore off the hind leg meat and swallowed it into his stomach after a few times. Then he said: "Don't worry, we Mangshan people can't be in the food."

It’s such a waste of manipulation.”

After a pause, Hu Yandong raised his eyes and looked at him: "I'm very curious, since you are so depressed, where do these resources and magical weapons come from?"

Hu Yandong never dreamed that Taotie City would be breached by these people, a group of rebels who were chased by the imperial court. Even if they were allowed to attack Hongmian Peak, all he wanted to do was let them risk their lives to cause some chaos.

But these Mangshanmen who attacked Taotie City had bright armor, sharp weapons, and each of them had one or two magical weapons. Especially Lu Jiangtong, he actually had what seemed to be a legendary magical weapon, the Demon Slayer Armor.

.

This demon-slaying armor is the treasured armor of Chu Hengtu, a famous demon general in the previous dynasty. It is said that the more people kill, the stronger the demonic nature and the more powerful the power. It is definitely of the quality of the top 100 or even the top 50 in Wan Bao Lu, but it was lost too early.

, that’s why I didn’t get listed in Wanbaolu.

Wearing this magic armor, Lu Jiangtong killed two seventh-level worshipers by himself, scared off the third one, and completely crushed the guards in the city lord's palace.

"Of course it was given by people like you. You all are indispensable for our Mangshan disciples to be where we are today," Lu Jiangtong said.

"But you didn't listen to me, but you still listened to others..." Hu Yandong pondered for a moment, "There are probably few people who can give me more than my Taotie City... I asked you to go to Shushan, but you didn't go.

You’re here to attack the Taotie City, aren’t you?”

Looking at his slightly surprised face, Lu Jiangtong warned: "If you continue to make wild guesses, I may not be able to protect you. I'm here to tell you, you tell me where your treasure is as soon as possible, and what else can you do?"

You can survive. If you don't do anything, I'm afraid I'll have to operate on your son first."

Taotie City has been prosperous for so many years and has earned countless spirit stone coins. It has been rumored in the immortal world that they have a secret realm dedicated to storing treasures, and they are ready to make a comeback when they are down. After Lu Jiangtong broke into the city lord's mansion, he did not find many valuable things, so

I doubt that the treasure story is true.

Then the father and son were sealed and brought out to interrogate the location of the treasure.

"Let me tell you the truth, this son..." Hu Yandong glanced at Hu Yanbin next to him, "Earlier, I even thought about doing it myself. It would be unwise for you to threaten me with him."

"Dad -" Hu Yanbin wailed, "I am your only biological son!"

"I haven't thought about how to tell you recently. Actually..." Hu Yandong said, "The aunt I found for you outside is pregnant with... a son."

Hu Yanbin was stunned and asked, "Is it yours?"

Hu Yandong frowned, "What did you fart?"

This scolding actually angered Hu Yanbin, and he suddenly started to curse: "Old thief! Persistent! You are shameless!"

…

When Chu Liang came to find Chu Yi, he had just returned from the Dharma Protector Hall. The child used to be a six-year-old with a melon-shaped face, but now he was a twelve-year-old with a small square head.

This should be considered a work-related injury... Chu Liang thought silently.

"Senior brother?" Chu Yi saw him coming and smiled immediately, "Why are you here?"

"Miss Xu from the Whale Gang has just arrived. She left the shipping list with me some time ago and asked me to bring it to you for verification." Chu Liang took out the jade slip and placed it on the table.

"Okay." Chu Yi nodded, "I will finish the homework left by Senior Brother Yuan in a while and start checking it."

"But I just took a quick glance. Maybe it's because I haven't been in contact for a few years and I didn't see something clearly." Chu Liang suddenly said, "Not long ago, there was a large shipment going to the Eastern Region. The name on it was Do you still remember the Nine-Colored Flower Lollipop and Meteorite?"

"Remember." Chu Yi thought for a while and said: "The nine-color flower dill can absorb the wood air and grow on it. It can grow hundreds of feet at any time. It must be mixed with iron and stone tools for transportation, so the following people combined this spiritual plant with meteorite iron. Shipped on the same ship.”

"But for this shipment, the price gets lower the further east you go, why?" Chu Liang asked again.

"The water flow in the southern region has steep slopes and steep bends, while the eastern region has mostly open rivers. The transportation prices of the two have always been different." Chu Yili replied fluently.

"But the corresponding weight reduction under different unit prices is the biggest reason for the subsequent price changes of this order." Chu Liang simply stopped questioning and said bluntly: "The weighing when entering the East Region water section is different from when it arrived later. Weighing, there is a huge difference. Is there something missing in the middle?"

"What?" Chu Yi saw that he seemed to have something to say, so he asked directly.

"Do you think it could be..." Chu Liang said slowly: "Human?"

"people?"

"It's not accurate. It should be said that they are extremely hungry people with the blood of the demon clan." Chu Liang stared at Chu Yi's eyes. The child is still calm until now, "Or we should call them... Mangshan disciples."

"How could the Mangshan disciples get on the Whale Gang's ship?" Chu Yi seemed to be confused.

"Yes, this is indeed strange." Chu Liang said: "But if it was the goods sent by Shushan, it would be normal for the Whale Gang not to check them carefully. At that time, a large number of Mangshan disciples parachuted from the southern region to the eastern region and attacked Wu'an City. Everyone in the world can't figure out how they got there out of thin air, and they all thought they used some extraordinary magical means. It would be so ironic if they just swaggered over on a Whale Gang ship."

Chu Yi looked like he was thinking and said nothing.

"The reason why I have such an association is actually because I visited Wu'an City once in the early years." Chu Liang continued: "I went to a painter's home. At that time, they had an ancient painting from the previous dynasty.

It was so haunted that his son was completely absorbed into it. After we checked, we found that the painting had its own secret realm. The painter's surname was Tang, and the painting... was called "Portrait of Ladies in the Eastern Suburbs."

Chu Yi glanced at the side wall. There was an ink painting hanging there. It was not the scroll that Chu Liang saw last time. Because last time Chu Liang noticed the painting, he immediately replaced it.

"It's a coincidence that I have seen this painting before." Chu Liang smiled half-heartedly, "I wouldn't be suspicious if it appeared in the hands of others, but it's you..."

"I just thought there would be some mystery in it? Could it be that the legendary treasure left by the previous royal family is in that secret realm?"

"The Mangshan disciples were able to rebel against the thieves from Caomang and have the power to attack Taotie City so quickly. The support of that treasure must be indispensable, right?"

"When the old prime minister told me that you didn't remember anything, was it a lie?"

"..."

A series of questions suddenly thrown by Chu Liang made Chu Yi fall into silence completely.

He gently sat down opposite Chu Liang. There was no trace of childishness on his face anymore, replaced by calmness and calmness.

After a long time, he finally said: "No, he didn't lie to you. I really didn't remember anything when I woke up."

"oh?"

"But once I fall into a dream, some memory fragments will always flash back in my mind. Those fragments are so real and detailed..." Chu Yi's voice was also very deep, "It took me several years to investigate and finally determined that I

I finally recalled everything about my life experience.”

He once slept in the Abyss of Dreams for hundreds of years, and it seemed that his dreams were more or less tainted.

Seeing that his guess was true, Chu Liang didn't worry too much, but continued: "But isn't your new life in Shushan also very good? Why do you have to bring trouble to the world again?"

"Senior brother, if someone suddenly takes Hongmian Peak away from you one day, would you want to take it back?" Chu Yi asked again.

"Red Cotton Peak has never been mine, just like the world has never been yours." Chu Liang shook his head, "We all just sat in an important position for a short time."

"I still need to learn the realm of senior brother." Chu Yi also smiled bitterly, "Maybe if you were in Shushan these six years, I wouldn't want to or dare to do these things."

This is true. If Chu Liang had stayed in Shushan, Chu Yi would not have made any small moves under his nose. If he had been influenced by him while growing up, he might not have followed this path.

After all, the life goal of the Silver Sword Peak Master is to rebel. When the Deputy Peak Master is away, it is difficult for the children not to be influenced by it.

"I have no intention of interfering with you, but I brought you out of the mountains. Now that you have done something like this, I have to take responsibility." Chu Liang finally said.

"What does senior brother want to do with me?" Chu Yi asked.

"Let you go back and sleep again?" Chu Liang said: "Then we will gather all the Mangshan disciples to ensure that they will not cause trouble everywhere again."

"Senior brother, it's impossible." Chu Yi stood up suddenly and looked at Chu Liang with a calm gaze, "I will always remember your kindness, but I will never go back to that situation again."

Seeing that he was still so calm, Chu Liang realized that something seemed to be wrong, and immediately took action with the demon-binding rope.

call out--

Chu Yi was tied up by the demon-binding rope, but his expression remained unchanged. As the demon-binding rope gradually tightened, his whole body began to emit a white brilliance.

Bang!

With a loud explosion, the body turned into points of light and disappeared in front of Chu Liang.

External incarnation?

Only then did Chu Liang realize that Chu Yi, who had been talking to him from beginning to end, was a clone. This kid had developed the magical power of incarnation at some point, and he had always shown himself as a clone.

Maintaining a clone all the year round requires a lot of energy to cultivate. Usually only the seventh or eighth realm can do it. However, Chu Yi has a huge amount of wealth. It is not difficult to rely on taking pills all year round.

Can afford it.

But ordinary people rarely think of this step.

Moreover, Chu Liang had not revealed any rumors before, which means that this kid may have been in such a high-consuming state of avatar activity since he had alien intentions.

Except for the time he was asleep, his real age should not be faked. This thoughtfulness is also a bit scary.

What the hell is twelve years old?

good evening.

I got an injection yesterday, and I feel a little better today, but I'm still a little weak, and my throat hurts even when I drink water. It's the beginning of the month, so for the sake of my sick code, I'll vote for the monthly ticket.
