Kirin family

The Town God's Temple stands in the night, and it feels completely weird from a distance.

There is no official road here, only the winding dirt road in the woods. In addition to the traces of people walking, there are also rut marks left by heavy carts passing by.The entire forest was pitch black, and it was quiet everywhere. The early autumn was not too cold, and occasionally small animals and the like passed by, making some noise.

The Town God's Temple was the only light source in the darkness. They were still far away, and they couldn't hear any human voices inside, but they could only see some flickering lights from the dilapidated windows.

Qi Guanyan once brought Qian Duoduo to see if he could transfer Huoli Town to his subordinates, but Zheng Shaoheng's power was in full swing at that time, and they couldn't find any loopholes.Having only been there once, Qi Guanyan didn't really want to go there a second time, and now he has no choice but to find some way here.

"Shh." Qi Guanyan made a hand gesture and put it on his lips, and the group of people restrained their voices, Qi Guanyan whispered: "There is a rule here, it is a silent market."

The closer you get to the dilapidated Town God's Temple, there is a strange smell, sometimes foul smell, sometimes cheap and pungent perfume smell, and the smell of livestock, so many smells mixed together that people have to wrinkle brow.Lin Xuan also went to Renshi to select servants for Liuyun Villa, but the people there were all registered official slaves. Although the scene was a bit pitiful, it was far less disgusting than here.

There was a small wooden table at the end of the road, and there was a bald middle-aged man sitting there with a huge scar on his head. He was blind in one eye, and there were tattoos on his face that he didn't know when he was stabbed. It's not a character to be provoked, and it makes people panic at first glance.

He glanced at Qi Guanyan and Gu Ya who were standing at the front of the line, was taken aback for a moment, and then gestured to Qi Guanyan.

Qi Guanyan also gave him a gesture back, then took out four coins from the bag and put them in front of the man.The man weighed the money, nodded, took out four bamboo hats with gauze curtains from under the table and handed them to Qi Guanyan.Qi Guanyan then turned around and distributed the hats to Lin Xuan and Yan Xiuwen, and he and Gu Ya also put on one each.

Lin Xuan had a lot to say, but he also knew in his heart that there were rules in the market, so he must not speak out, so he had to hold himself back tightly, not letting himself ask questions.

The Town God's Temple looks like a temple from a distance, but when you walk in, you will find that there are only some ruins left, and half of the roof has collapsed, and you can see the starry sky outside.The people's market is not only in the City God's Temple, there is also a large open space behind the temple, and there are many wooden cages inside, imprisoning all kinds of people.

The people in the temple were all young and beautiful women. They were tied up and locked in separate cages.And behind the temple are some old women and men with inconvenient hands and feet. They are often locked together in groups. The cages are so short and narrow that people can’t stand upright when they sit in them. Are they not locked up? Shut up, they don't want to make a sound anyway.

Seeing someone coming, the girl in the temple shed tears immediately. She has stayed in this place for a long time, and every moment she hopes that someone will buy her away and leave this quiet place.

"It's not easy." The place is so quiet that it doesn't look like there are living people. Suddenly they heard someone behind them, and they were all taken aback. It seemed that there were only four of them in the market, and the rest were kept in cages for a price. Ergu: "Xingyang has been closed for many days, and here has been deserted for a long time. How come people come here?"

Lin Xuan winked at Qi Guanyan, since this is the silent market, it means that everyone can't speak, otherwise they will be dealt with according to the rules by the people in charge here, if this person can speak out, it means that he is here Steward.

Qi Guanyan turned his head to look at him, the old man looked to be in his sixties, lean and short, leaning on an iron crutch, his eyes were full of energy: "It's okay, since I'm talking to you, you can just answer."

"Senior." Qi Guanyan bowed to the man: "We came from the north of the mountain, we never thought that something like that would happen in Xingyang City, but we have come all the time, and we can't go back empty-handed like this, so we came here for a stroll. "

The old man laughed strangely: "You are from the north of the mountain. The people next to you may not be sure. I look at them, and they all look like people from the south of the mountain."

Qi Guanyan smiled and said: "They are indeed from Shannan, since they follow me, they are naturally from Shanbei."

"Okay," the man didn't bother: "Business is not good these days, you can choose for yourself, I will give you a cheaper price."

Qi Guanyan turned his head and looked around, there were about seven or eight girls in the Town God's Temple, the bolder ones stood in the bright place with chains on their ankles, and the younger ones huddled in a dark corner, leaning against the wall He went up quietly, and he didn't know whether he was alive or dead.

"I want all of these." Qi Guanyan took a rough look, and felt that the number was about the same, so he just bought two more men to serve as servants.

"Oh?" The old man laughed strangely again: "You are also the first guest like this among the guests I saw... You don't even look at the looks of these girls, so you want them all?...Among these few, there is There is one who is worth a lot."

Gu Ya seemed to sense a hint of murderous intent, and stopped Qi Guanyan from behind: "A gentleman dare not take away someone's love, if you want to keep that one, we don't want it."

The old man glanced at Gu Ya, even though his face was covered by a bamboo hat, he could tell that this young man was tall and handsome, and said, "Aren't you wondering who it is?"

Gu Ya frowned, the old man made him very uncomfortable, and the atmosphere in this temple also made him very unhappy, but now in someone else's territory, he couldn't get angry directly, so he just nodded and said: "Wish to hear It's detailed."

"Thirty years ago, there was a beautiful woman in the north of Shanbei who was famous all over the world." The old man laughed: "It is said that she has the appearance of a celestial being. How many people see her face and think about it day and night, and many people spend a lot of money for her. It's a pity that she didn't succeed in trying to win the beauty... What's more commendable is that she is also proficient in the art of disguise and enjoys a high reputation in the world..."

Before he could finish his sentence, he heard Qi Guanyan say: "The man has passed away, why use the deceased as a gimmick?"

The old man laughed loudly: "How do you know she's dead?... I didn't say it was her, the little baby was so restless? At that time, there was a woman who was with her in the rivers and lakes, from Shannan, Meng As one wishes."

As soon as he finished speaking, the woman in the darkness raised her sword and stabbed at her. Yan Xiuwen immediately drew out his sword to block her attack.When illuminated by the lights in the Town God's Temple, it was indeed Meng Ruyi's face that was revealed.

Yan Xiuwen immediately knew that they were in an ambush, and he was a little confused for a while. They had been deciding where they were going for a long time, how did Song Yan know?But Qi Guanyan has absolutely no reason to harm them in this matter, after all, it is the confrontation between Qi Guanyan and Song Yan.

The moment Meng Ruyi made a move, several girls in the temple made moves one after another. Their martial arts were not top-notch, but they could be called excellent. For a while, the sound of Jin Ge in the temple was endless. Before and after, Qi Guanyan and Gu Ya were guarded in the middle, and their numbers were so low that they seemed to be surrounded for a while.

"Who are you?" Qi Guanyan asked the old man.

The old man looked at Qi Guanyan, and seemed to go crazy: "Who am I? I'm no one, but someone Yu Linglong doesn't like, don't you think, Madam Ruyi? The two of us were killed by Yu Linglong. Linglong lost her marriage contract, and the other was rejected by Qi Guanli, and they got married and had a child, so what am I?"

"Marriage?" Yan Xiuwen frowned and said, "Even 30 years ago, you were not confused. Yu Linglong was only twenty-eight years old. You don't feel sick when you say that?"

The man didn't answer, and just laughed wildly to himself. Meng Ruyi didn't seem to want to hear herself being compared with him, so she said in a steady voice, "Don't mention the past."

The man refused to give up, and continued to ask: "What's the matter, Meng Ruyi? Do you feel ashamed?"

Meng Ruyi didn't answer, just looked at Gu Ya and said, "Master Gu, my son has no intention of going against Liuyun Villa, I just want to get the Qilin Sword and the treasure map, if you are willing to hand over these two things, we will The grievances between them are wiped out."

Qi Guanyan couldn't help laughing: "A write-off? It's not your turn to say that, right? You were the ones who sent people to do it, and you were the ones who robbed the treasure map? Now you're talking about a write-off? What's wrong with Liuyun Villa? Very bullying?"

Meng Ruyi looked at Qi Guanyan, and said with a sneer, "Do you really consider yourself the wife of Liuyun Villa? What ability do you have to speak for Liuyun Villa?"

"He has." Gu Ya took half a step forward: "I won't give you the treasure map or the unicorn sword."

Meng Ruyi frowned and said, "Don't you want to turn hostility into friendship with us? I heard that the owners of Liuyun Villa have always devoted themselves to martial arts and never participated in the disputes between the rivers and lakes. They were also attracted by the Qilin swordsmanship when the Qilin Mountain was burned. Gu Qinghe later regretted it." For the rest of my life, I still think you are the same as them."

Gu Ya replied lightly: "I don't give it because he wants it." He held Liuyun's scabbard and blocked it in front of Qi Guanyan.

"Gu Ya." A male voice suddenly sounded from the shadow behind the pillar: "It seems that your internal injuries are indeed serious, Ding Qi's hard work was not in vain."

Gu Ya then turned his head to look at that place, but saw Song Yan coming out from behind the pillar. He was extremely handsome, almost similar to Qi Guan Li's appearance, and he inherited Meng Ruyi's peach blossom eyes, but he was even more handsome than Qi Guan Li. Even more like the legendary Qi Guan Li's son.

"How did you know that?" Gu Ya didn't change his face, but moved half an inch in front of Qi Guanyan.

"If you weren't injured," Song Yan smiled lightly at him, "They shouldn't be the ones who shot."
