The villain apprentice is very arrogant

chapter 74,

Erji thought for a while, nodded, and said, "The city lord has a wife and five concubines, but he only has one daughter named Lin Jinzhi, and he has no other children."

Golden stick?That's really raising it like a baby.

Lan Qing asked, "Where is his wife and children?"

Bailang clicked his tongue twice, looked at the human being in the coffin and said, "Looking at him like this, his wife and children should be puppets, right?"

Erji denied it: "No, what you said this time is not entirely correct. The city lord's wife and daughter went to Tongming Mountain to practice Zen two years ago, but there is no news of him. And his five concubines, indeed They were made into puppets, and they were the first batch of puppets, so they should have been reduced to ashes long ago."

Lan Qing grasped the key word, her eyes froze: "Two years ago?"

"Yes." Jiji nodded.

If she remembered correctly, two years ago seemed to be the time when those two men in black robes appeared.

Bailang smiled and said, "You city lords are interesting, you don't expect to send your wife and daughter out in anticipation of what will happen next, right?"

Erji flicked his fly whisk, hesitantly said: "To tell the truth, the lady of the city lord actually ran away out of anger."

"The city lord and his wife have always been close to each other, and they are very affectionate. They are often passed down as a good story in the city. But just two years ago, the city lord suddenly brought back five beautiful and beautiful girls from outside, and said in a daze to marry them."

"The wife of the city lord got angry for a while, and had a big fight with the city lord, but it was unsuccessful. Later, on the night of his wedding, he took his only daughter and left. Later, I heard that they were practicing Zen with Master Zongyang in Tongming Mountain. I have decided not to get involved in worldly affairs."

Yue Qi frowned, and asked: "Then what happened in Jincheng, they don't know?"

Erji shook his head: "I don't know. What I said just now are folk rumors, and there are traces to follow. Only the wife and daughter of the city lord said they were in Tongming Mountain, but they seemed to have evaporated from the world. , no one knew their condition, and no one went out of their way to find them.”

"Besides, Tongming Mountain is a hundred miles away from Jincheng, which may not be a problem for cultivators. Yujian can arrive in half a day. But for ordinary people like us, it takes two or three days to drive a horse-drawn carriage."

Erji sighed, I really don't know how the mother and daughter did it.

Bai Lang cast a strange look at Lan Qing, how could he feel that this mother and daughter...

Lan Qing pursed her lips, looked down at the black-faced corpse, and said nothing.

It is useless to make too many guesses. The most important thing right now is to find the two men in black robes first.

First Jing Ci, then Jincheng City Lord, what exactly do they want to do?
Bailang stared at the person in the coffin for a moment, and suddenly caught a dark red jade pendant on his waist from the corner of his eye.

With doubts in his heart, he pulled it off, held it in his hand and studied it.

Suddenly, the underground palace began to shake!
There were dull humming sounds all around, and large chunks of soil fell from above. Fortunately, it was protected by Lan Qing's enchantment, otherwise it would have been doused right now!
"Ah, what's going on here?" Erji looked around in panic.

boom!
The ground shook for a while, and all ten pillars broke!

The black-faced man in the coffin opened his eyes abruptly, stood up stiffly, and stared blankly at Bailang.

In the next second, there was a roar like a wild beast!
The clods of dirt on the top of the head fell more and fell down with a crackling sound.

Sheng Yang and Yue Qi quickly stood on both sides of Lan Qing, with a shy Erji in the middle.

Bailang put the jade pendant into his arms calmly, and sighed: "Why are you shouting so loudly? I'm not deaf yet."

The black-faced city lord roared again, and attacked him with all his teeth and claws. Bailang looked at him in a leisurely manner, just watching him rush towards him!
"Ah! Immortal Elder, be careful!" Erji exhaled unconsciously!
As soon as the words fell, the action of the black-faced city lord stopped.Turning his head stiffly, just when Erji thought he would change direction and attack, a small thing flew past his ear with a bang!

The body of the black-faced city lord exploded without warning, and strong black air burst out from his body and dispersed in all directions.

After a while, it returned to calm.

The black chess quietly returned to Lan Qing's palm and disappeared.

Erji murmured in disbelief: "Is this... dead?"

Bai Lang replied with a smile: "Otherwise? Shall I fight him together again?"

Erji quickly waved his hands and shook his head: "No no no no no!"

Bai Lang looked away at Lan Qing, and said, "Let's go out first, I have something nice to show you."

When Erji heard this, he was pleasantly surprised: "Huh? Can you still go out?"

Bailang couldn't hold back, burst out laughing, too lazy to say so much, turned over and stepped over the coffin, walking to Lan Qing's side.

A faint white light rose from Lan Qing's hands, and he clasped them together suddenly, the palms were filled with light.

Everyone felt a blur before their eyes, and before they had time to react, they fell to the ground with a bang.

Bailang sat up, patted the dirt on his body, looked at Lan Qing who was the only one standing, and said helplessly, "Do you dare to be more rude?"

Lan Qing glanced at him expressionlessly and said nothing.

They have already come out of the barrier, and the strange human face tree is still in front of them, and there are still manju blood flowers everywhere around them.

Sheng Yang looked at Lan Qing with complicated eyes. He wanted to be someone who could stand shoulder to shoulder with her before, but now it seems that it was just wishful thinking.

Master, is a height that he will never be able to reach.

The sky has turned pale, and the night passed like this.

Erji sat on the ground and couldn't recover during the day, and he was exhausted this night.Although his life was saved, he was still in a trance for the rest of his life after a catastrophe.

It was dawn when we returned to the inn again.

The people at Dushengmen expressed their gratitude to Lan Qing and the others excitedly, and the Taoist burst into tears: "The old Taoist would like to thank the immortal elders for their help, otherwise our Jincheng will really be destroyed!"

Lan Qing said: "Although Jincheng has been saved, the people in the city are unable to return to heaven. I have set up an enchantment in the City Lord's Mansion, please remember not to force your way in."

All the Manzhu blood flowers had been cleared away, but Lan Qing still kept the tree that was enshrined in the soul. She had a little luck in her heart, maybe they could still be saved.

Daoist Bujing was puzzled: "Why did you seal the City Lord's Mansion?"

Bailang was a little impatient, pointed at Erji, and said, "Oh, that's fine, your disciple knows everything, let him explain it to you later. Where's my donkey?"

When the little disciple of Dushengmen heard this, he hurried to the back kitchen of the inn to bring out the horse and the donkey.

They were obviously well cared for, the donkeys were still chewing something in their mouths.

Bailang flicked the donkey's ears and raised his eyebrows: "You hoo? Brother donkey looks good."

The gray donkey drooped its eyelids, pursed its thick lips, and spat.

This time, Bailang dodged easily as if he had foreseen it long ago, grabbed the rein and jumped, and sat on the donkey's back.

Lan Qing nodded slightly to the people in the Dushengmen, and said: "Since the puppet soldiers have been dealt with, we will not stay any longer, so we will leave."

"Congratulations to the Immortal Elder!"

People from the Dushengmen clasped their fists together and saluted.

Lan Qing got on her horse, followed closely by Bai Lang, and Sheng Yang and Yue Qi Yu Jian slowly followed behind them.

After leaving Jincheng, Bailang suddenly opened his mouth and said leisurely: "Let's go to the valley of no return, I want to let Tuantuan."

When the two guarding the sword behind heard this, their eyes were filled with hope.

After a long time, Lan Qing replied softly: "Okay."

-

Not far away, a man said to the bearded man beside him, "Hey, brother Zhang, are those two weirdos that we met in the restaurant a while ago?"

The bearded man nodded: "I really didn't expect that they went to Jincheng."

"Didn't you say before that they seem to be very interested in Mr. Jing's family affairs? You said that if they knew that Mr. Jing's family had been wiped out, would they..."

"...Who knows, maybe it's the same as us, just listen to something new and pass it with a smile."
