The scumbag brother is finally accepted

After the problem of the Candle Yin Sect was solved, Shen Mengzhuang immediately went down the mountain to look for the herringbone scroll after receiving Xuanqiu's task.

In the blink of an eye, it was already summer, when Shen Mengzhuang saw that everyone was getting ready to leave, Zhou Bufan suddenly stopped him, looking serious like a parent catching evidence of a child's mistake, and tortured him, "Brother, is there something you didn't explain?" After finishing speaking, he glanced at Lu Qingyuan behind him, implying something.

Anyway, I have explained everything to Master, so it’s okay to tell everyone.Shen Mengzhuang was in a good mood, walked to the side of the stone table and sat down, and everyone followed him to sit around the table.

Picking up the teapot on the table, Shen Mengzhuang poured a cup of tea for each of the four, and said calmly: "You have followed me since childhood, and it has been decades now. I have watched you grow up, and treat you as my own brothers and sisters Therefore, I will naturally tell my younger brothers and sisters about life-long events."

As soon as the words fell, Shen Mengzhuang took Lu Qingyuan's hand, interlocked his fingers, and said firmly: "Xiaojiu and I, I have confessed to Master, I don't care how outsiders speculate. Only you, I hope to bless us."

Picking up the teacup on the table and passing it to his mouth to drink tea, Zhou Bufan caught a glimpse of Ye Zhenzhen beside him who kept her head down, her hands on her knees tightly clutching the corners of her clothes, her shoulders were trembling slightly.Then he handed the teacup in his hand to her, looked at Shen Mengzhuang nonchalantly and said: "You have said that, even if we are not satisfied, why don't we tie you up and prevent the two of you from seeing each other?"

Ye Zhen Zhen, who bowed her head and said nothing, took the cup of tea in front of her, and took a sip absently.

Seeing that she was still willing to drink tea, Zhou Bufan felt a lot more relaxed. He looked at Shen Mengzhuang and said with a smile: "But you are not kind, brother. You only told us after An Xufeng had spread the word. It's not the first-hand news. No, it’s not even second-hand. No, I can’t swallow this breath, and tonight you will punish yourself with three cups to accompany me so that I won’t get drunk or go home.”

"Good to say."

The atmosphere was quite pleasant, and everyone set off and rushed to the target immediately.When getting up, Lu Qingyuan suddenly caught a glimpse of the faint red mark on the collar of Shen Mengzhuang's neck, looming.Thinking of what it was and how it appeared, Lu Qingyuan blushed immediately, wanted to see it but didn't dare to look at it, and sneaked a few glances from time to time.

Sensing the abnormality of the person beside him, Shen Mengzhuang turned his head to look, the little fool didn't know when to blush.Then he knocked on his head and said with a light smile, "What are you thinking?"

After being discovered, Lu Qingyuan was startled for a moment, then lowered his head and approached, stretched out his hands to smooth Shen Mengzhuang's neckline, trying to cover up the eye-catching red marks.

When he realized why Lu Qingyuan was smirking just now, Shen Mengzhuang coughed lightly in embarrassment, then turned around and followed behind the others.

Shy and joyful in his heart, Lu Qingyuan followed Shen Mengzhuang step by step, staring at the palm hanging by his side.Lu Qingyuan cautiously stretched out his hand to hook his little finger, Shen Mengzhuang lowered his head and chuckled and held his hand, the temperature of the palms was exchanged, and his fingers were tightly clasped.Lu Qingyuan's heart beat faster, he was stunned for a moment, looked up at Shen Mengzhuang, couldn't help lowering his head to chuckle, hugged his arm and approached him quietly.

In the afternoon, the sun is shining brightly, everything is like a revival, and the world is full of joy.The peach blossoms are burning in spring, the stars are shining in summer nights, the sun is shining in autumn, and the snow and red plums are warm in winter.Wearing stars and wearing moons to traverse mountains and rivers, he is gentleness itself.

Everyone moved forward with their swords, and rushed all the way to the most remote place in the dark world - the barren state.Huangzhou claims to be the king beyond the Great Wall, and the imperial city here - Jiulongyin, has not been visited by outsiders for hundreds of years, so it is easy to leave the city and difficult to enter.

After breaking the formation outside the city, everyone entered the city and found that everyone in the city had a yin and yang face.Smile in front of people, cry in back, turn your head according to your mood when talking, and show people with different faces.

Everyone wanted to go to the imperial city, and stopped a passerby who wanted to ask where the imperial city was.The man informed that all news about the imperial city is managed by Yiwulou, and outsiders are not allowed to walk around at will.

When asked about the location of Yiwu Building, Shen Mengzhuang and others went there without stopping.

In front of me was a dilapidated and desolate wooden building, the eaves were covered with cobwebs, and there was a mouse hole at the base of the wall. A fat mouse turned around the corner and slid into the hole.

Everyone bite the bullet, knocked on the door, and stepped in after getting the consent of the owner in the building.As soon as he entered the door, a strong scent of sandalwood came to his nostrils.The sound of the piano in the building is melodious, the walls are full of calligraphy and paintings by famous artists, the desks are displayed with valuable porcelain, and even the ground under the feet is paved with rare jade.

The scene inside and outside was completely different, Zhou Bufan was blinded by the dazzling gold, Ye Zhenzhen also stared at the exquisite jewels, her eyes sparkled.Shen Mengzhuang looked around, feeling deeply strange.

Suddenly, a man's voice came from behind, with a leisurely tone, "The rules of the barter building are bartering."

As soon as the words were finished, I saw a bejeweled man with a big belly slowly approaching from behind the bead curtain, holding two luminous pearls in his hand and spinning them.

"How to barter?" Shen Mengzhuang asked.

"If you want to inquire about the news in the city, you must exchange your treasures."

Everyone looked at each other in blank dismay, Shen Mengzhuang thought for a while, took the jade pendant around his waist, and said: "Shen wants to know where the imperial city is, but I wonder if this jade pendant can satisfy the landlord?"

The host didn't take the jade pendant, just glanced at it casually, obviously not interested, smacked his lips and said: "Jade is a good jade, but unfortunately I have too many of them."

Refusing to exchange jade pendants, the landlord glanced at everyone, stared at the saber behind him, and pretended to be generous: "Since you are sincere, I will not make things difficult. It's just that I have seen a lot of jewelry and gold. Look at my building, Are there any treasures? You can bring out some fresh ones that I haven’t seen before, so it’s easy to talk about. I think the sabers behind you are pretty good, but I lack a sword in my building to suppress evil.”

"You look ugly, but you think it's beautiful." Zhou Bufan said displeased.

"You, you, you!" The landlord pointed at his nose, so angry that he couldn't speak well, "Since you have such an attitude, I won't accompany you anymore, see off the guests!"

"Wait a minute." Shen Mengzhuang stopped the landlord, "This matter is not trivial, please allow us to discuss this matter for a moment."

Seeing the politeness of the person in front of him, the landlord nodded magnanimously in agreement.

Reluctant that the child couldn't catch the wolf, Shen Mengzhuang took down An Shijian, and was about to hand it over to the landlord but was stopped by Lu Qingyuan.

"Brother! You can't give it to him!"

"That's right, who knows what he's up to. Give him the sword, I think it's faster to hang it around his neck." Zhou Bufan echoed.

"Then use yours." Shen Mengzhuang followed his words.

"what?"

"That's right, second senior brother, as the saying goes, if you can't let go of a child, you can't catch a wolf, and if you don't enter the tiger's den, you can't get a tiger's cub. If you can sacrifice your small self to achieve the big self. If you can use your sword to exchange for peace in the world, you will be doing a great job!"

"Zhenzhen! Which side are you on?"

Everyone said something to each other, a set of Taijiquan was done, and Zhou Bufan's Xiaoyao Sword was exchanged for the position of the imperial city as he wished.

On the way, Zhou Bufan was annoyed, kicking the stones by his feet, crossing his hands and hugging the creaking nest, complaining: "You are all ganging up to bully me!"

"That's absolutely not my intention." Shen Mengzhuang said solemnly.

"I have absolutely no intention of doing that either." Ye Zhen Zhen was equally serious.

Everyone rushed to the imperial city, and as soon as they entered the city, the city gate behind them was suddenly closed, and there was always a feeling of inviting you into the urn.Walking from the city gate to the main hall, the imperial guards on both sides of the road lined up neatly, as if they were lining the road to welcome them.

There was no one else on the road, and everyone walked in vigilantly.Suddenly, the vigorous bells rang above the head, one after another, like mourning.The imperial guards who had been standing motionless by the side of the road suddenly ran towards the hall in unison.Everyone was puzzled and followed.

As soon as he entered the door, he saw everyone in the hall kneeling and crying. A white-haired man was lying on the bed with a peaceful face, and a sword was stuck in his chest.Everyone took a closer look and were astonished. That sword was Zhou Bufan's Xiaoyao Sword!

"I'll go! Why is it my sword!" As soon as the words fell, Zhou Bufan quickly covered his mouth.However, the words spoken are like splashed water, let alone with Zhou Bufan's loud voice.

Everyone in the hall heard the sound and looked at Zhou Bufan at the door. Zhou Bufan, who was in the focus of his eyes, slapped himself lightly.The damn mouth!

"What did you say? You just said it was your sword?" A man stood up and pointed at Zhou Bufan, walking towards him tremblingly.

Zhou Bufan had no way to defend himself, he shrank by the door, covered his mouth and beat him to death without making a sound.

Everyone in the hall thought that he was acquiescing to the crime, and they all got up and walked towards him, with anger in their eyes as if they wanted to punish him on the spot.Seeing this, Shen Mengzhuang hurried forward and said: "Everyone, calm down, something is wrong. My junior brother's sword was just handed over to the owner of Yiwulou, and I didn't have any reason to do anything when I came here. If you want to find out the murderer, Shen thought he could start with the barter building."

"Who are you? Why does your nest of snakes and rats listen to you?"

"I am Shen Mengzhuang, a disciple of the Cangxuan Sect."

"It turned out to be the Cangxuan sect." A man in a green robe beside the bed slowly got up and walked towards Shen Mengzhuang through the crowd, "A few years ago, I had a relationship with the head of the noble sect, and I never thought about it today." You can also see people from the Cangxuan Sect."

Seeing the approaching man, Shen Mengzhuang paused, and replied: "The person you are talking about is Shen's master."

"I see."

"Vice City, these people can't be taken lightly, otherwise the death of the city lord..."

The people around saw the deputy city lord's friendly expression towards the sudden outsiders, thinking that he would let them go.

The deputy city lord walked up to Shen Mengzhuang, and said in a gentle voice: "I have always respected the people of Cangxuan, but in today's situation, I can't speak for you. Just now what Master Shen said about Yiwulou, can you explain in detail? "

After explaining the ins and outs of the matter, the deputy city lord stood with his hands behind his back, thought for a moment, and then said: "There is indeed something strange about this matter, that barter building is really weird. But the murder weapon is the sword of this Immortal Master Zhou, I am afraid that it will be difficult for you to get rid of the suspicion for the time being. It doesn't matter what I say alone, Master Shen also saw it, everyone's anger is hard to appease. What should we do about this?"

Seeing something in the Vice City Lord's words, Shen Mengzhuang asked, "I wonder what the Vice City's plans are?"

"This matter is easy to handle, and difficult to handle. The easy part is that since it is Zhou Xianshi's sword, then please ask Zhou Xianshi to stay in the city for a few days, after Shen Xianshi finds out the real murderer and removes the suspicion , everyone naturally has nothing to say. But the difficulty lies in the fact that the magic powers of the immortal masters are so strong. If you make a move, I am afraid that I will not be an opponent. This..."

Shen Mengzhuang said nothing, watching the deputy city lord wait for him to finish.

"It's not as good as this. A few immortal masters will leave the swords in the city for a while, and I will keep them for you. When the real murderer is caught, I will return the originals. First, everyone can rest assured, and second, it can prevent similar things from happening again. What does Master Shen think? ?”

"Wait! You mean to lock me up as a prisoner? What kind of onion are you, dare to lock you up?" Zhou Bufan, who was as quiet as a chicken, couldn't stand it when he heard that he was going to be locked up. , he almost grabbed the deputy city lord's hair, pointed at his nose and cursed at others.

After weighing it in his heart, Shen Mengzhuang replied: "Okay, I promise you."

"Elder brother!" Zhou Bufan was just alive and well, but now he looked at Shen Mengzhuang with a frowning face like a discouraged ball, "You sold me again?!"

I don't know how it got in.Zhou Bufan sat cross-legged in the secret room, put his hands on his knees, and chanted the mantra of not getting angry seriously, and comforted himself while reciting, "Same sect, same sect, sect rule No. 19, harming fellow sect, the crime should be punished. Can't beat, can't beat..."

In order to find out the truth of the matter as soon as possible, Shen Mengzhuang and others acted separately.Leng Shanlan and Ye Zhenzhen went to Yiwulou, Shen Mengzhuang and Lu Qingyuan investigated the imperial city.

The soldiers divided into two groups, Leng Shanlan and the two rushed to the barter building, Ye Zhenzhen was about to knock on the door, when suddenly a palm with the strength of a sword came out, the wooden door was torn apart.Ye Zhenzhen looked back at Leng Shanlan in astonishment, tremblingly said: "Senior sister, you are so violent."

Leng Shanlan didn't move, her face was still frosty, she stepped into the gate majestically, Ye Zhen Zhen followed behind her like a little follower.

As soon as he entered the door, he saw Leng Shanlan wave his sleeves, and the light gauze that dragged the floor swept across the four directions, wrapping the host who was lying on the rattan chair and humming comfortably, into a dumpling and hung him upside down on the beam.

"Who! Who is so bold! I am, I am—"

The landlord who was hung up shouted angrily, and after seeing the person in front of him clearly, the despondent aura just disappeared without a trace, and he stammered, "You, you, what are you going to do? "

"Why don't you see me?"

"what?"

"Boom-"

Before the landlord's "ah" fell to the ground, Leng Shanlan waved his hand again, and the landlord's head hit the ground hard, as loud as knocking a wooden fish.

"Why don't you see?"

"I have no idea!"

"Boom-"

Ye Zhen Zhen at the side was dumbfounded, as if she had gained some strange knowledge.Unexpectedly, Senior Sister Leng used torture to extract a confession.

Unable to resist Leng Shanlan's hard-hearted heart, the landlord finally let go, saying that the building was stolen that day, and many treasures were missing, among them was the sword, and he didn't know the rest.

The words are sincere and do not seem to be false.While Leng Shanlan was thinking about it, he suddenly caught a glimpse of a black scorpion tattoo on the host's bare abdomen.That shape seems to have been seen somewhere.Thinking about it carefully, Leng Shanlan suddenly remembered that in the hall today, the deputy city lord seemed to have exactly the same black scorpion on the nape of his neck that was inadvertently exposed.

Something was weird, Leng Shanlan suddenly left.Ye Zhen Zhen didn't know why, she followed her back and looked at the host who was still hanging from time to time.

On the other hand, Shen Mengzhuang and Lu Qingyuan visited the imperial city at night.As I thought in my heart, the city is really not simple, there are organs all over the place, and if you are not careful, you will die here.Moreover, there are more imperial guards in the city than in the daytime, and they look fully armed, not as if a funeral has just happened, but as if there is a war.

The two concealed their breath, escaped the patrolling guards, and touched a secret room.After quietly entering, Shen Mengzhuang found a strange picture of a beast and monster hanging on the wall, with the head of a bull and the body of a snake, and a pair of wings covering the sky and the sun.Below him is the churning Black Sea, with huge waves raging to the sky.

Staring at the picture of the monster beast, Shen Mengzhuang walked up to take a closer look.Behind him, Lu Qingyuan was swinging the chain on the other wall, accidentally touching the mechanism by mistake.Suddenly the wall trembled slightly, the ground under his feet disappeared, and Lu Qingyuan immediately fell into the dark passage.Hearing the sound and looking behind him, Shen Mengzhuang saw Lu Qingyuan fall into the trap, and followed him into the secret passage.

At the same time, Zhou Bufan sat cross-legged in the secret room.Feeling faintly strange, since coming in, I can smell a strange fragrance.You can smell it when you don't care, but the more you care, the less you can smell it.And he has only meditated for less than an hour, why does he feel weak all over, he hasn't regressed to this extent, right?

Confused in his heart, Zhou Bufan concentrated on his luck, but found that his internal energy was locked and unable to function.

not good!Zhou Bufan opened his eyes suddenly, startled in his heart.

Suddenly a white light flashed, and a black figure suddenly appeared in the corner, holding a sharp sword and approaching Zhou Bufan.The comer had extraordinary martial arts, Zhou Bufan fought several moves with him, but because of no luck, he was at a disadvantage and retreated repeatedly.The assassin sneered, flicked his wrist, and changed his sword posture, locking Zhou Bufan's throat.

At the critical moment, a stone bullet suddenly fired a long sword to attack. The assassin turned his head and saw Shen Mengzhuang standing at the door, unstoppable.

The good opportunity has been lost, and there is no way to win if we fight again.The assassin made a feint and escaped through the window.

Zhou Bufan, who came back from the gate of hell, did not feel the joy of the rest of his life at all, and he still spoke unforgivingly, and sneered at Shen Mengzhuang: "Brother, you are so skilled! In order to try a trick of beating a cow from the air, you don't hesitate to lock up your younger brother." It's a big gesture to be a test object in the secret room!"

"Are you finished? If you don't leave, I'll go." Shen Mengzhuang turned around to leave, but Zhou Bufan hurriedly picked him up, fawning on him with a playful smile.

"Good brother, good brother, why are you here?"

"Xiao Jiuye and I explored the imperial city, and we got here by mistakenly touching the mechanism. Now it seems that it was planned by someone, and we want to kill it and then hurry up."

The three vigilantly found out the secret room, escaped the patrolling guards, and returned to the guest room arranged by the deputy city lord.As soon as they entered the door, Leng Shanlan and Ye Zhenzhen hurried back to inform about the relationship between Yiwulou and the deputy city lord.

Everyone in the room was serious, and it seemed that this matter was aimed at them.When everyone was discussing how to respond, there was a sudden commotion outside the door, and the sound of swords came out through the door.

Suddenly, the door of the room was opened wide, and a group of imperial guards rushed in and surrounded them heavily. Their swords and spears were aimed at everyone, ready to kill.

Shen Mengzhuang looked at the mighty imperial guards inside and outside the house, and asked in a deep voice, "What's the meaning of Vice City?"

As soon as the words fell, I saw a familiar blue figure slowly walking out from the crowd, and replied leisurely: "Please enter the urn."

As soon as the words fell, the deputy city lord suddenly waved his sleeves.The imperial guards flocked to the crowd, swords flashed and swords flashed, and houses collapsed.Everyone snatched the long sword in each other's hands and broke out of the encirclement.

The battlefield moved outside the house, in the dark night sky, and the sword cut the cloud shadow.Shen Mengzhuang fought against the deputy city lord for several moves. Although he didn't have An Shijian, Shen Mengzhuang's cultivation level far surpassed that of the deputy city lord.There was a disparity in strength between the two, and the deputy city lord retreated in succession.The final move was imminent, Shen Mengzhuang's sword and shadow danced, his clothes flew in the air, he turned around and struck, cutting off the deputy city lord's long sword.At the same time, the imperial guards were also defeated by the rest, and they were defeated.

Seeing that the defeat was already decided, Fucheng made a feint and took the opportunity to escape.Shen Mengzhuang and others chased after them, passing through the winding corridor, the deputy city lord and others got into the secret room just now.The door is closed, and the formation is activated.

When Shen Mengzhuang and others caught up, the fog suddenly thickened, and his eyes were in a daze, confusing his eyes.Everyone moved forward vigilantly, suddenly flying sand and stones filled their eyes with desolation.Shen Mengzhuang searched for the eye of the formation calmly, and everyone waved their swords to resist.Just as the formation was broken, there was a sudden roar, and the beast broke out of the house.

Vice City and the others who fled into the secret room just now turned into ferocious beasts, beating their chests and stomping their feet and attacking everyone recklessly.Shen Mengzhuang and others fought with the murderer for several moves, but the ordinary long sword broke in two after a few rounds.Without accessories, everyone was at a disadvantage.

At the time of crisis, Shen Mengzhuang and Zhou Bufan joined forces to form a formation, trapping all the beasts in the formation.Everyone took the opportunity to flee, trying to find the sword.

However, when everyone turned back, the beasts in the city had long since disappeared.Shen Mengzhuang followed the instructions of the magic detector from the imperial city to the barren state.

There is an endless black sea in front of you, and all the people in Huangzhou have turned into yin and yang beasts, walking towards the deep sea like walking corpses.When he approached the middle of the sea, his body sank suddenly, and then only a piece of scarlet floated on the surface of the sea, dissipating in the black sea.

Shen Mengzhuang and others wanted to stop the people in the city who were obsessed with ghosts, but the group of yin and yang beasts suddenly went berserk, roaring up to the sky and attacking Shen Mengzhuang.

Countless yin and yang beasts surged up, and everyone responded with swords, and the shadows of the swords were windy and solitary.Suddenly a tsunami roared, and huge waves surged into the sky.The atmosphere of the world changed suddenly, and the mountains and rocks collapsed.A majestic figure drilled out of the sea, the strange beast flew into the air, and the herringbone scroll appeared.

The yin and yang beasts sacrificed blood, and the strange beasts rushed out of the bottom of the sea at night, screaming up to the sky.The body of the bull-headed snake is horrifying, and it spreads its huge black wings, covering the sun and the sky.

Everyone joined forces to encircle and annihilate, and the transformation was endless.The sword light was fierce, and the attack became stronger, piercing through the evil energy and approaching Xuan Ye.Faced with such an offensive, Xuan Yefang was freed not long ago, his physical strength was not complete, and he was in a losing position after several fights.So he no longer loves fighting, breaks through the encirclement and suppression of the crowd, and takes the opportunity to fly away.

Shen Mengzhuang couldn't catch up, and was about to return to the imperial city but found that the Black Sea was weird, so he urged An Shijian to go deep into the black bottom to find out what happened.Sensing an evil formation at the bottom of the sea, Shen Mengzhuang used Qi to move his sword and suddenly split the landslide.The black sea gradually became clearer, the chains on the bottom of the sea were broken, and the yin and yang beasts on the shore returned to normal and returned to the appearance of normal people, including the dead city lord.

The city lord who came back from the dead thanked Shen Mengzhuang and others for their life-saving grace, and invited everyone into the imperial city with the gift of distinguished guests.According to what he said, it turns out that the deputy city lord has always been in charge of the city, and the city lord is just a puppet.Fucheng raised the strange beasts under the sea with his blood and soul. He heard that Fucheng wanted to kill Shen Mengzhuang and others and wanted to report secretly, but Fucheng found out and planned to kill them.

Returning from the Black Sea, everyone walked on the road.Shen Mengzhuang suddenly noticed that the girls on the side of the road were staring at him, hiding their faces and laughing, and some of them whispered to each other.When he looked back, those girls shyly covered their faces with their handkerchiefs, ashamed to look at him.

Not surprised, Shen Mengzhuang continued to move forward, and suddenly found that Lu Qingyuan beside him was lowering his head and giggling. He couldn't help but knocked him on the head again, and said with a light smile, "What are you thinking about?"

Lu Qingyuan, who was caught, held Shen Mengzhuang's hand, looked up at him and smiled, "I'm so happy."

"What are you happy about?"

"They are still immersed in the joy of admiring senior brother, hoping to win his favor, but..." Lu Qingyuan hugged Shen Mengzhuang's arm, squinted at him and smiled, "But I have already been eaten by senior brother!"

The two looked at each other and smiled, with a warm feeling in their hearts, and their figures were close to each other.

In the imperial city, the gentle and wise city lord wants to rectify the barren state so that the people can live and work in peace.Shen Mengzhuang and others visited the city and continued to inquire about the whereabouts of the herringbone scrolls.

On this day, there was a gentle breeze in the afternoon, and the birds in the forest were singing.In the courtyard, Shen Mengzhuang was sitting on a wicker chair thinking about the herringbone scroll.Suddenly a figure emerged from the corridor, jumped in front of Shen Mengzhuang, sat sideways on him, put his arms around his neck and asked, "What are you thinking, brother?"

"I think..." Shen Mengzhuang embraced the person on his body, stared at him in silence for a moment, "I'm thinking about where to live in the future."

"Huh? Don't we live in Anxu Peak?" Lu Qingyuan looked at Shen Mengzhuang suspiciously, saw him staring silently, suddenly realized, and smiled in surprise, "Brother means..."

"I'll be a teacher in the future, how about Xiao Jiu raising flowers and planting grass at home?"

"Okay! No, no! I don't want senior brother to coax other children!" Lu Qingyuan hugged Shen Mengzhuang's neck tightly like a declaration of sovereignty.

"I don't coax them. If you really don't want to tie me up with that chain, I won't go out."

"No, I don't want to."

Shen Mengzhuang shook his head with a chuckle, lightly patted Lu Qingyuan's head, and continued: "How about raising a few more dolls? Does Xiao Jiu like children? If you don't like them, you can't raise them."

"Since it's my brother's child, I like it, but my brother can only treat me well."

"You!" Shen Mengzhuang pinched Lu Qingyuan's angry face, not knowing whether to laugh or cry, "Since you want to raise a few more, how about raising a boy? Mature and stable, whether it's martial arts, officialdom, or business. But, cultivate him to get married and start a business. The second child chooses a girl, who is gentle and pleasant, considerate and kind. When we are old, we will beat our shoulders and legs, serve tea and pour water, and take good care of them. They say that the girl is a caring little padded jacket. A little cotton-padded jacket. If the third child is the third child, pick a baby boy. If you are tough, go to the house, go to the kang, dig out bird nests, peel lotus pods and steal loquats. As long as you don’t do bad things or be evil people, you will be safe, healthy and happy all your life. Freedom, we have done our duty. When you get old, I will take you for a walk by the West Lake. There are cool nights there, and there are sugar sellers. Make a sugar man like you and eat it in your mouth, so you won’t be afraid You got separated. If I die before you, you are not allowed to remarry..."

"Brother, don't say anything depressing!"

"Good, good, don't talk about frustration. How can I be willing to die, I haven't lived enough, how can I bear the heart of my wife being a widow?"

Listening to Shen Mengzhuang talking about the rest of his life sentence by sentence, Lu Qingyuan looked up at him impatiently, and asked, "Brother, when will such a day come?"

"Soon." Shen Mengzhuang stroked Lu Qingyuan's head lightly, sliding his fingertips across the ends of his hair, "I will take you down the mountain when the days are peaceful."

"Hmm..." Lu Qingyuan lay on Shen Mengzhuang's chest, and gradually fell asleep. In a trance, he seemed to really see the senior brother returning home after finishing his homework, with the pastry he just bought in his hand.And he was chasing the little bunny to feed, and the three children circled around him.

It's great, living with my senior brother like an ordinary couple.Lu Qingyuan jumped with joy in his heart, looking forward to the early arrival of this day.

In a cave in Huangzhou, Xuan Ye was furious because of losing to Shen Mengzhuang and others.However, the deputy city lord was still chattering in his ears.Xuan Ye was furious, and absorbed the soul of the deputy city lord to replenish his body, and his skill immediately increased greatly.

The confident Xuan Ye invaded the imperial city again, and the people in the city fled in all directions.Shen Mengzhuang and others fought with him, during the scuffle, Xuan Ye flapped his wings, and suddenly a hurricane swept everyone.The storm surged, shocking the sky.

Everyone changed their offensive and cooperated with the formation, and the famous sword showed its power again.The moves are calm, and the sword light is wild.Xuan Ye was trapped in the formation, Leng Shanlan had quick eyes and quick hands, and Yu Jian came to kill him head-on.At the moment of lightning and flint, the sky eye in front of Xuan Ye's forehead suddenly opened, and looked at Leng Shanlan.When the eyes met, Leng Shanlan suddenly felt his heart tighten, as if being tightly grasped by a big palm.

Taking advantage of Leng Shanlan's distraction, Xuan Ye wanted to forcibly break through the formation and escape.I saw An Shijian, Xiaoyao Sword and Wangyou Sword running side by side, piercing through his body.A moment later, Xuan Ye exploded and died.

Both body and mind are destroyed, and the herringbone scroll slowly emerges.Shen Mengzhuang flew forward to put it away, and wanted to go back to the mountain immediately.Suddenly, a familiar mechanical sound came from my mind——

[System: Ding Dong!Happy New Year to the host, I wish you good health and good luck in the new year! 】

[Shen Mengzhuang: Get to the point. 】

[System: Host, you are still so unreasonable, okay.System tasks are here!Surprise or surprise, surprise or surprise!Task content: Ask the host to try to lead the protagonist Lu Qingyuan into the Black Sea. 】

[Shen Mengzhuang: Scum task? 】

[System: Correct! 】

[Shen Mengzhuang: I won't do it. 】

[System: Huh?You say it again? 】

【Shen Mengzhuang: I won't do it, I won't do it again. 】

[System: Host, you mean——]

Before the system voice finished speaking, Shen Mengzhuang cut off the contact.He will not bear Lu Qingyuan again, he promises.

Lu Qingyuan beside him saw Shen Mengzhuang frowning tightly, as if he was full of thoughts.Then he grabbed his sleeve and asked, "What's wrong, brother?"

The mess of thoughts was interrupted, Shen Mengzhuang looked at Lu Qingyuan, smiled softly, "I'm fine, let's go back—"

Before he finished speaking, the imperial city in front of him suddenly collapsed, and several cracks appeared on the ground.Boulders fell from the sky, and the fleeing people either fell into the huge cracks or were crushed to death by the boulders.Wails, cries, and cries for help were heard endlessly, and despair and struggle filled the entire barren state.

Shen Mengzhuang and others wanted to go to rescue the people in the city, but they found that there was a barrier between them.I could only stand there and watch as the man in front of me was broken by a huge boulder, wriggling on the ground in pain, trying to crawl out of his life.And at the end of despair, is another despair.Those who escaped the boulder failed to escape the crack in the ground and fell into the abyss with no bones left.

It only takes a moment, and after a moment, the ground seam heals.There is a flat land in front of him, as if he just swore that it was his fantasy to turn the barren state into a rich place like a dark place, as if every place he walked was an illusion.Only the remaining blood on the ground reminded Shen Mengzhuang dazzlingly that life is real, ambition is real, and death is also real.

why?why...

The heart was pulled into a ball, Shen Mengzhuang's head was blank, and his legs were weak.

[System: The system reminds that the dungeon "Desolate State" has been formatted because the host failed to complete the task, please take it seriously.Again, please host seriously! 】

[Shen Mengzhuang: Why?Just because I refused to complete the task? 】

[System: Can the host know the "law of cause and effect"? 】

[Shen Mengzhuang: The law of cause and effect? 】

[System: That's right, because the host refused to complete the protagonist's blackening task, the law of causality has changed, and all copies related to the task will be formatted.If the host fails to blacken the protagonist Lu Qingyuan due to repeated rejections of missions or key missions, the law of causality will collapse, and the entire world in the book will be completely formatted, and the host will not be able to return to the real world.In other words, everyone will die here, including you. 】

As if thousands of silver needles were pierced in his heart, Shen Mengzhuang couldn't breathe.Because of his selfishness, hundreds of people were buried with him.Because he chooses what he loves, so the whole common people will pay the price for his choice in the future?

So all promises are false, bluffing, and sweet talk for a while.He couldn't protect Lu Qingyuan at all, he couldn't protect him well at all.In the end, he is still ashamed of him, he is still the one who hurt him the most, nothing can make up for it, but he still has to make choices, maybe, there is no choice at all.

"Senior Brother? What's wrong with you, Senior Brother?" Lu Qingyuan shook Shen Mengzhuang's arm, his pure face seemed to be otherworldly.

Hearing the sound, looking down at the innocent person in front of him, Shen Mengzhuang felt uncomfortable, and an indescribable bitterness surged from his heart to his throat.He couldn't say it, and he couldn't say it, he lowered his head and murmured in a daze, "Xiao Jiu, I...I..."

He is just a bridge, but he wants to subvert history.How to have both the love and the common people?But now, the cruel reality slapped him hard. Love and the common people cannot have both.
