"have they gone?"

The man in black who sat cross-legged on a large blue stone slowly opened his eyes. He was slender and handsome, but his long hair that fell to the ground was lifeless and white, full of the smell of death.

The man looked up at the distant sky, muttered something to himself, then shook his head inexplicably, then closed his eyes and fell back into meditation, but soon...

"──Pfft!"

The man with normal complexion suddenly spit out a mouthful of black blood, uncontrollable pain appeared on his calm face, he opened his eyes, and one of them was as red as blood!

The originally stable and vast aura around him also instantly became chaotic. Although it was suppressed at the first time, the power emitted still smashed everything around him, and was finally resisted by the formation surrounding the entire back mountain.

After a long time, the man took a deep breath and wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth.

"time is limited……"

Chapter 1 Chapter 261 Returning to the Capital

September, the month of chrysanthemums, the impetuousness and dullness of hot summer have not completely dissipated, but there is a little bit more deserted and bleak autumn in the air, which is the season of transition between summer and autumn.

The most important festival in September is the Autumn Festival. Every household offers fruits and vegetables to gods and gods, and even many places hold regular celebrations to pray for a good harvest and a good winter.

Capital is no exception.

Although it was still some time before the autumn festival ceremony, the whole city already had a somewhat festival atmosphere, and the already lively capital city had a different taste.

And the Autumn Sacrifice Ceremony is not just a festival celebrated by ordinary people. In fact, many seemingly extraordinary practitioners also have great expectations for it.

As for the reason, it is also very simple. Of course, it is because they can carry out many corresponding activities during the festival, and people are willing to participate, so they can make a lot of money every time.

There is no way, practitioners are also human beings, and they also have to eat and live.

In short, the capital city is also very lively today, and it will become more and more lively in the next period of time.

The capital is huge, and the flow of people is equally terrifying. In addition to the local residents, there are also people of all kinds who come from all over the world to gather here every day, seeking fame and fortune, gaining knowledge, and looking for opportunities. Therefore, there are many strange people here every day. face.

But today, two strange faces also passed through the gate of the capital and came to the famous Qilin Imperial Capital.

The two walked side by side, one of them looked to be no more than 20 years old in appearance, with a slightly thin body wrapped in a green shirt, with a trace of sickly paleness on his handsome face, coughing twice from time to time, as if he was sick.

The other is the complete opposite. He is more than eight feet tall, and the exaggerated muscle outline can be clearly seen under a black robe. He is tall and strong, with dark skin and short hair. With that fierce appearance, he looks simple and not angry. , I didn’t know that I scared and cried a few children playing on the street along the way, and even passers-by subconsciously avoided it.

It’s just that the black-robed man didn’t seem to be aware of this. After scaring a few women who were shopping and admiring the flowers into paleness again, he scratched his bearded chin, frowned and said, “The scenery of the capital looks like It's indeed pretty good, but the people here seem a little strange? Why do they hide when they see us? They look like they saw a ferocious beast..."

The young man next to him coughed twice, twitched the corners of his mouth, and said to himself, do you still have this self-awareness?

People are not afraid of them, but of him!

When I entered the city for a routine inspection before, I was misunderstood because of this fierce appearance. I was almost regarded by those guards as a monster who was about to enter the city. let go.

And after entering the city... well, almost everyone avoided it!

The young man was a little helpless but he was almost used to it, so he shook his head and smiled, and said with a smile: "It should be that we are newcomers and don't look like locals. They are more curious."

"What is there to be curious about?"

"Hey, don't worry about anything else."

The young man obviously didn't want to get too entangled in this aspect, so he quickly changed the subject and said, "There is still business."

"Business? Speaking of it, Junior Brother Ning, you don't seem to have told me until now that you don't want to stay at the mountain gate to recuperate well, why did you suddenly come to the capital because of your name?"

Didn't you just follow here without asking anything?

Ning Cheng really wanted to say that, but seeing the seemingly fierce but naive look of the elder brother, he finally couldn't speak. The other party set off with him without asking anything, which was undoubtedly a kind of trust.

Although he wasn't curious at all along the way, and didn't even ask, it's a bit strange to ask such a question now when he got to the place.

But thinking about it, he swallowed the words quietly. Ning Cheng looked around and was silent for a while, and then slowly said: "I was notified by someone at home that my father had appeared in the capital and that my father was missing." I don’t know what’s going on for so long, but now he’s clearly showing up here in the capital, but he still doesn’t contact me, it’s really a bit strange, I can’t let go, so I came here to look for him.”

"It's really time to come and see."

The fierce man nodded, and then he didn't want to ask any more questions. This undoubtedly relieved Ning Cheng. Fortunately, he was followed by a senior brother, otherwise he would have to be cocooned by his ears.

Although he was worried that his father's coming to the capital was justifiable, in fact he ran out secretly, because the injury had not yet fully recovered, and it was easy to fall into the root of the disease after traveling and traveling.

but……

"My father has disappeared and has not returned. I don't know the specific situation. How can I rest in peace?"

Ning Cheng shook his head and sighed. The Ning family had an accident before, and Master Ning hadn't appeared since his disappearance. He worried for a long time, but he was helpless. After all, the world is too big, and he wanted to find it without any clues. One is undoubtedly looking for a needle in a haystack.

Fortunately, after Ning Cheng was taken back by his teacher in Baihua Valley, he soon got news from his family that Master Ning appeared in the capital, although it was strange that he contacted anyone, but disappeared again soon afterwards .

Ning Cheng sensed that something was wrong, so he secretly left the mountain gate without hesitation, planning to find the trace of Master Ning.

After all, Master Ning is his father, the Ning family can't live without a master, and Ning Cheng alone can't stabilize the current property.

In fact, because of the changes in the Ning family, the entire Liuxian City is now in chaos, with no one in charge of the overall situation. If this continues for a long time, I'm afraid something will really happen.

Both the father and the family were affected, so Ning Cheng couldn't help being in a hurry.

"So where are we going next? Brother, do you know where your father is?"

When Ning Cheng was worried, the elder brother's voice woke him up, but he shook his head and said, "I don't know, although someone saw my father in the capital, but then he disappeared strangely again, so it's not a coincidence I don't know what's going on... well, anyway, go to that person first and ask, and then go to the place where the other person saw my father."

"Row."

The two of them hesitated for a while and then chose a direction to move forward again. At the same time, outside the city gate, a luxurious chariot slowly landed.

The capital is different from other places. As the center of the Qilin Dynasty, the most important thing is that it is obviously impossible to fly in directly from above. Landing inspection is the most basic respect.

Especially practitioners, there are some rules in it.

Of course, the extent of the inspection depends on the person, and this luxurious chariot was only stopped for a while, and then with one of the slender hands sticking out, the token made of white jade flickered.

"Let go!"

Chapter 2 Chapter 262 Returning to the Capital ([-])

When we come to the capital again, everything is not much different from before, it is still prosperous, lively, and prosperous, and it is still crowded with people day and night.

But yes, the time since the last time I came to the capital is not too long, everything is like yesterday, and the beautiful scenery of thousands of families with lights and thousands of people traveling together is still vivid in my mind.

Xia Yin is still somewhat interested in the capital city, but after seeing it last time, the feeling of the second coming is relatively weak now, and his attention is only on the imperial palace in the capital city, intending to pursue the divine beast that protects the country.

Compared with her, Xuan Yuan came to the capital for the first time, and he was very interested, but he had seen a lot of places like the capital in his past experience, and he had personally experienced the more lively scenes, so he didn't care too much. As for being completely absorbed by the surrounding scenery, I am more curious.

After the carriage entered the city, it walked slowly along the avenue towards the mansion where the concubine lived. The passers-by saw the six snow deer pulling the cart and all of them gave way. Obviously, most of the people living in the capital are very discerning. Know who can be messed with and who can't be messed with.

At this time, the snow deer carriage made it clear to others that it was not a simple carriage, and the people sitting in it must also be big shots.

Because the crowd retreated naturally, although the speed of the carriage along the way was not too fast, it was unimpeded, and it didn't waste too much time when it arrived at the residence of the concubine Shen.

"Then if it's all right, I'll go back and see you again when I have a chance."

After sending the group to their destination, Nangong Liuli didn't intend to take a break. After all, although the situation in West Wind City was basically stable, there was no guarantee that there would be no more problems. It was really hard for her to leave her daughter there alone. Difficult to feel at ease.

Bai Xiaoyu knew what Nangong Liuli was worried about, so she didn't say much, just waved her hand and said, "Go."

"Sister Xiaoyu, don't you know how to be polite? After all, I worked hard all the way, and finally changed my sentence and left? It makes me want to beat you up!"

"You can't beat me."

"..."

That's fine.

Nangong knew that he couldn't get a bargain from Bai Xiaoyu's side, so he didn't waste any more time. He nodded to Xia Yin and Xuan Yuan as a greeting, and then drove away simply, as if he didn't want to be here for a moment. stay.

Following Nangong Liuli's snow deer cart disappeared from sight, Bai Xiaoyu's eyes also fell on Xia Yin, and said lightly: "You can stay here first, there are many vacant rooms, you can live anywhere you want."

The place where the Concubine Shen lives is large, but it is deserted. On weekdays, there are very few people who would find it boring to disturb her, so it is indeed a very suitable place for recuperation.

Xia Yin didn't refuse, nodded and said: "Then I'll bother you."

"It's okay, you can do whatever you want."

After finishing speaking, Bai Xiaoyu shook her long silver hair, and quickly disappeared into the yard with the corners of her skirt fluttering. There was no trace of the host's attitude towards the guests here, as if she really let them do whatever she wanted.

Xuanyuan felt a little weird, and was silent all the way, hesitant to speak at this moment, and finally he couldn't help but said to the girl next to him: "The relationship between the junior sister and the concubine seems to be quite good?"

Although Xuanyuan is not from this world, like Xia Yin, he knew something about this strange world before, especially everything related to the practice world, and he had naturally heard of the name of the concubine Bai Xiaoyu Pass.

It's just that he couldn't understand why Xia Yin knew each other, and the relationship seemed pretty good along the way, how did they know each other?

Xuanyuan was very curious about this, wondering what Xia Yin had experienced during this period of time, but soon saw the girl with black hair and purple eyes shook her head and said, "Don't be fooled by the superficial phenomena of things, senior brother."

Xuanyuan was puzzled, but Xia Yin didn't have any intention of explaining. He dragged him around the mansion together and then chose a room with two adjacent rooms, planning to live here temporarily.

"Near the palace?"

In a store in the capital city, Ning Cheng met the person he was looking for───One of the main managers of the Ning family's store in the capital city, a person who looked about 60 years old, with gray hair but still A spiritually rich old man.

The old man recalled, nodded slowly and said: "Yes, the young Patriarch, the Patriarch disappeared near the palace."

"Are you sure it's your father?"

"I have been with the Patriarch for almost 20 years, and it is absolutely impossible to admit my mistake. It is definitely the parents!"

Hearing the affirmative voice on the other side, Ning Cheng frowned and remained silent.

According to the supervisor, when he was dealing with the chaos and uneasiness of the Ning family property caused by the disappearance of Master Ning in Beijing not long ago, he accidentally bumped into a figure suspected to be Master Ning on the street. He followed him all the way in surprise, and after confirming It was indeed Master Ning who was about to catch up with the inquiry, but he lost track of him near the capital.

Then he searched around the capital several times unwillingly, but there was no result, but he can guarantee that the person he saw before is definitely Master Ning!

"The palace...why is it the palace?"

Ning Cheng was skeptical about the old man's words, mainly because he didn't understand that if what the other party saw was really his father, what would he do near the palace?

The imperial palace is the residence of the emperor, and the most important thing in the entire capital. Except for the emperor's relatives and civil and military officials, ordinary people have no reason to get close to it. If they get too close, they may be expelled.

As for Master Ning, it is even more unreasonable. After all, there is no connection between the Ning family and the palace, let alone such changes. Now that the Ning family is in chaos, if Master Ning is fine, he should go home to report safety That's right, not wandering around the palace.

I read it wrong?Or is there another secret?

Ning Cheng rubbed his brows and felt a little headache. There are so few clues provided to him so far, it is difficult to judge whether the news is true or not.
