The wealthy people around asked in unison, startling Zhong Lai.
Zhong Lai suddenly came back to his senses and looked at the gossipy looks from the tall and thick men around him in horror, shaking his head like a rattle.
"No...no one, I recognized the wrong person..."
The men around him looked at Zhong Lai suspiciously, thinking that this guy must know something.
"I really...really made a mistake. I thought he was my long-lost little cousin...he's a little too tall...ah? That's...a ghost!" Zhong Lai pointed to somewhere in the city and exclaimed.
.
All the high-profile guests immediately turned their heads to look.
"Where is it!?"
"Where is the ghost?"
"There are no hairs! That kid can't be tricking us! Hey! Where are we... Damn, that kid got away!"
"You brat, I must make him look good next time I meet him..."
Zhong Lai took advantage of the crowd of high-ranking guests turning around to look for ghosts, and disappeared into the sea of people. These killers who licked the blood with their swords were all spiritual masters of the Xuanling Realm, and he couldn't afford to offend them.
Zhong Lai wandered around for a while, while the men were still cursing like shrews.
…
Danxun City is filled with the fragrance of Danxun.
In order to deceive others, Lin Chuan and Lan Yin'er sneaked into a nearby alley as soon as they landed.
Lin Chuan raised his head and glanced at the sky above. The sky was filled with clouds and mist, and the moonlight could seep in. However, he could not see the scene outside the seal at all, so he pulled up the face towel on his nose.
Lin Chuan secretly wondered if the Demon Emperor was confused by the beating at the beginning and reversed the restrictions on his vision. Not only did he expose himself to the enemy, but he also blinded his own eyes. Wasn't this setting him up for death? He really couldn't figure it out.
.
The two walked around and walked to a courtyard. The red paint on the courtyard door was already mottled and peeling off. Lin Chuan pushed it gently, and the wooden door shaft broke with a "crack". The whole door fell down with a crash, raising countless dust.
.
Lin Chuan looked at Lan Yin'er's angry expression with an innocent face. He really just gave her a gentle push.
The two of them entered the hall, which was so dark that it was almost difficult to see.
"You can let go..." Lan Yin'er's soft voice sounded faintly.
Lin Chuan's attention was completely attracted by the surrounding environment. Lan Yin'er even let go of his hand. He was still holding her little hand tightly. He loosened his hand in panic after hearing this.
"It's so dark here, please let me

Light a torch..." Lin Chuan found a topic out of embarrassment, but was ruthlessly interrupted by Lan Yin'er before he finished speaking.
"No, if you light a fire at this time, it will definitely attract attention."
"Oh? Are you talking about the people outside the seal, or the people inside the seal?" Lin Chuan asked with a stern look on his face.
"Our whereabouts were exposed when we fell. Naturally, we can't escape the prying eyes of those powerful people outside the seal. What we have to guard against are the twelve people who entered the city first and the ghosts in the city..." Lan Yin'er answered and swallowed a
A blood pill.
After taking the blood pill, Lan Yin'er's eyes widened immediately, and then she started to retching.
"What's wrong? Could it be that the blood elixir is poisonous?! What do you need me to do..." Lin Chuan anxiously circled around Lan Yin'er, fearing that Lan Yin'er would eat something bad.
"It's okay, don't panic...the smell of this blood pill is too strong, it's really hard to swallow." Lan Yin'er's eyes were filled with tears, thinking how unpalatable this blood pill is.
Blood pills are pills formed by condensing and drying the blood of living beings. There is no special refining method. Although the effect of swallowing blood pills to restore demonic power is not as good as that of fresh blood, it is more convenient and easy to store.
Lan Yin'er sat cross-legged, with a touch of rosiness appearing on her porcelain-white face. The rosiness became more intense and spread all over her body in the blink of an eye. Her whole body was so red that it seemed like she could bleed.
Lin Chuan was horrified when he saw it. He wondered if he looked like this when he was sucking his blood underground.
The red color came and went as quickly as it came, dissipating completely after a moment. Lan Yin'er's little face was as moist as white porcelain again, and her brows were furrowed, as if she was digesting and absorbing the energy of the blood elixir.
Lin Chuan felt relieved when he saw that Lan Yin'er's appearance was back to normal. He estimated that he would have to wait for a while. He felt bored and began to look at the things in the hall.
It has been more than thirty years since the Four Emperors defeated the demons. The interior layout is still complete, and the frame of the house is still strong. The main reason is that the wind cannot blow here and the rain cannot get wet. Just relying on the erosion of the air,
It is estimated that it will not decline in another ten years.
The cloth on the window was covered with a thick layer of dust. Lin Chuan stepped forward and opened it gently. The moonlight poured in, and the light in the room suddenly became much brighter.
There is a painting hanging on the wall in the center of the main hall, three feet long and two feet wide. The painting is also covered with dust. There is a small copper tripod placed on the tables in front of the painting. There are still three broken incense sticks in the tripod.
Lin Chuan guessed that the painting was the deity worshiped by the owner of the house, but he didn't know where it was. He hung it in the main hall to worship, but he did not shy away from visitors.
Curiosity drove Lin Chuan to approach the painting, brushing the dust on the surface with his sleeves, and he could see clearly what was inside the painting through the moonlight.

content.
The painting shows a big man with a snake's head. Lin Chuan called him the big man because he was completely naked and had two ounces of meat in the middle of his muscular thighs.
The big man has two wings on his back, holding a small beast in each hand, and two small beasts stepping on his feet. He looks very majestic and domineering.
Lin Chuan brushed the dust off again, but still couldn't see clearly the images of those little beasts.
Instead, I saw the crowd of people surrounding the big man. They were no taller than the big man's ankles, and their appearance was lifelike. Some bowed to the big man, some knelt down to him, and some pointed at the little beast at his feet and cursed, etc.
wait.
Just when Lin Chuan was thinking about why the snake-headed man in the iron tower in the painting was so sacred, that familiar soft and soft voice floated to his ears again.
"The person in the painting is the Demon Emperor Kakuzu." Lan Yin'er didn't know when the breath adjustment ended and walked slowly to Lin Chuan's side.
Lin Chuan was surprised, wondering that Yin'er was not ashamed to see this naked man, and then he was relieved. The demon clan can't have the same rules as the human race.
"Does Yin'er know why his hands are clenched and his feet are treading?" Lin Chuan was more curious about what made the Demon Emperor so proud and majestic, and why he was so loved by the people.
"These are the four mythical beasts today. In the right hand is the Sword-spine Tiger King, in the left hand is the Minjiang Yinglong, under the right foot is the golden-winged Suzaku, and under the left foot is the double-headed turtle." Lan Yin'er said slowly, as if he were familiar with the treasures.
"Have you seen this painting?"
"Well, this picture is called the Demon Emperor Subduing the Four Beasts. This picture is carved on a stone wall in Evergreen Valley. Well... it is much larger than this picture. If you are interested, I will get it when the seal is released.
Go and have a look."
Lin Chuan shook his head. Resistance was written all over his body. A vine song was enough for him. If he entered the monster's den, he would never return.
"Aren't the mythical beasts of the Four Kingdoms deeply supported by the people? Why is it that the demon emperor in the painting behaves like this and the people are happy?" Lin Chuan frowned and asked in confusion.
"I heard from my mother-in-law that Kakuzu was born in the Sea of Fog in the far north of the Mongolian Realm. When he left the Sea of Mist, he had the strength of the Heavenly Spirit Realm. Kakuzu entered the Eight Desolations and had no way to recognize his ancestors. He was rejected by the Monster Clan of the Eight Desolations and was forced to live in Central Continent. .It happened that the mythical beasts of the four kingdoms were causing trouble in Central Continent. The first four emperors did not dare to provoke the four beasts, so they privately asked Jiaodu to help subdue the beasts, and Jiaodu agreed. The condition is that the demon clan of the Eight Desolations can freely enter and exit Central Continent." Lan Yin. The son paused and continued.
"So Kakuzu surrendered the four divine beasts one by one. Not only did he win the love of the people of Central Continent, but he was also supported as the emperor by the demon clan of the Eight Desolations. So in order to thank Kakuzu, the two human-monster clans built this city in the hinterland of Central Continent and gave it to Kakuzu... "
Lin Chuan was fascinated by what he heard. He had never heard anyone say this before, nor had he read it in books.
