That monk has a dragon [Rebirth]

By the time the Sheng family stayed for a while and left, and then went all the way to Xinling City, it was already late October.

Xinling is a big city in the frontier defense department. The winter outside the Great Wall comes early, and it is already chilly before winter begins.

Once Lin Ying died, the Sheng family couldn't continue to trace the identity of the person behind the scenes because of the face of the other three major families. I heard that what I wanted to find might have something to do with that person. The night before the trip, he deliberately found the door and told the two of the news he had inquired about.

The city lord is the head of the city, the general who guards the city, and has been appointed by the imperial court since ancient times, but this Xinling city lord is different. He occupied the city by himself and was later appointed by the imperial court.

Everyone in the Immortal Clan knows that the offshoot of the Ming family is an official in the court, and the previous head of the Ming family married the daughter of an official family, so the Xinling City owner and the current Ming family head are still cousins. The name is Mengzhi, and the word is Pingshan.

The Meng family was not a big family at first, and Meng Pingshan was the second son in the family, he was not valued by his father, and he did not seek an official position in the court, so he turned and joined the army.

More than ten years ago, Xinling was still a stronghold to resist foreign enemies. The generals sent by the imperial court to guard were weak and incompetent. After a long time, he was beheaded and killed on the night of his escape, and later he gathered the scattered soldiers, recruited troops secretly, and attacked back to Xinling City in one fell swoop.

Meng Pingshan is brave and good at fighting, and is loved by the people in the city, but the beheading of the guard finally made the court dissatisfied, and he has not been granted the title for a long time.

Later, the repelled enemy army made a comeback and led tens of thousands of horse soldiers to the city. Meng Pingshan could not get support from the imperial army and horses, so he had to defend Xinling City. Zhen, when the emperor decreed to seal it personally, he was appointed as the lord of Xinling.

It is said that ever since Meng Pingshan beheaded the former city lord and summoned soldiers, there was a counselor by his side who advised him to repel the enemy, but that counselor seemed to disappear before the enemy re-encircled Xinling City. soundtrack.

No foreign aid can wipe out tens of thousands of enemy troops, and the help of the Ming family must be indispensable. In the end, the transfer of the dead bodies to the Great Barren Mountain to seal them must be the work of the Ming family.

However, the relationship between the suzerain of the Ming family and the master of Mengcheng seems to be not deep, and there are not many contacts on weekdays. Therefore, when the corpses in the mass grave were taken away and the resentment in that area was unbalanced, the Ming family also noticed that It was Meng Pingshan who found some corpses and filled them.

The corpse that was filled by Meng Pingshan was actually only Sheng Lanchu's guess. The Sheng family also found mass graves along the Great Barren Mountain, so Sheng Lanchu sent disciples of the Sheng family to investigate in Xinling City, and found that the owner of the Meng city had been involved in recent years. A hobby of hoarding dead bodies and transporting them away at regular intervals.

But before seeing him transport the body to the Great Barren Mountain, one cannot jump to conclusions.

"You said, is it true that the city lord of Xinling did the thing that made Lin Ying win his lifespan? Why does he want so many lives? Turning himself into an immortal monster?" Si Huai strolled in front of me. Beside Nian, she was waving a fan in the cold wind, which attracted the attention of many passers-by.

"If he really transported the corpses in the mass graves, then even if the person who lost his life was not him, he still has something to do with him. Otherwise, why would the bodies of the missing people in Fengmian City happen to appear in the mass graves. Besides, we saw that person disappear out of thin air with our own eyes in Sankiyuan that day, not everyone has this kind of ability."

Wu Nian turned his head and glanced at the fan that was blowing the cool wind, then shifted his gaze to Si Huai's face, and added, "Isn't the benefactor cold?"

Si Huai seemed to have not heard his question, and continued following his previous sentence, "Lin Ying once said that the person who asked him to paint the dreams for the two in Meiyuan was the man in the black cloak. Brother. If that person is the Lord of Xinling, then it is very likely that the suzerain of the Ming family is chasing and killing Lin Ying."

"These are just your and my conjectures, and there must be evidence for everything." Wu Nian said calmly, but the hands in the sleeves clenched tightly.

If you find the person who hunted down Mr. Lin, you may be able to know the origin of the cross flower dart, and then you will not be far away from uncovering the tragedy of the massacre that year.

Si Huai didn't miss the melancholy that flashed across his face, and didn't point out the thoughts in his heart. Instead, he put on a foolish emphasis, and said: "The appearance of the dragon pit in the mass grave has alarmed all the celestial sects. A lot of people came to visit, do you think the city lord will meet us monks and casual cultivators?"

Wu Nian seemed to be seriously thinking about how to meet the city lord, but before he could figure it out, the young monk next to him suddenly stopped, pulled his sleeve, and pointed to a candied haws seller beside the road.

It was already afternoon, and there were not many vendors selling on the street. It was the first time I saw a candied haws seller after walking for a long distance.

"Want to eat?" Wu Nian glanced over there and asked.

"Think." Chen nodded, and swallowed unabashedly.

"Then you think about it." Wu Nian raised his hand and touched his head, pulled out the sleeves that were being pulled, and chattered as he walked, "I have been traveling outside for so many years, and I don't see you talking about what to eat. What happened, candied gourds are going to be made now, but I ate so well at Sheng's house a few days ago, that I forgot that I am a poor monk?"

Chen Yi didn't take the reprimand he received too much on a daily basis, he made a face at Wu Nian's back, then turned around and smiled obediently at Si Huai.

Si Huai only felt that apart from being bald, this little monk was somewhat similar to himself back then, so he couldn't help but also laughed, and turned his hand lightly to close the fan, and put it on Wu Nian's shoulder.

"Buy two skewers, I want to eat too." Si Huai shook the purse in his hand, the smile on his face deepened, his beautiful eyes were slightly bent, and the mole on his left eyelid was dazzlingly red.

The City Lord's Mansion was not very far away, and when Si Huai finished chewing the last candied hawthorn, the people who went in to report came out at a trot, and invited them in respectfully.

Si Huai raised his eyebrows and looked at Wu Nian. Not only did the city lord meet them, but he was also so forthright when he saw them, which the two of them did not expect.

The City Lord's Mansion is very large, but the decoration is also very simple. The pillars, doors and windows are a bit old, and there are only a few soldiers standing in the courtyard, which seems somewhat empty and lifeless.

The three of them followed the mansion soldiers leading the way to the side hall and sat down. They thought they would have to wait for a long time, but they didn't expect it to take only half a cup of tea when they heard heavy footsteps and several sounds from outside the door. The call of the "City Lord".

City Lord Meng was dressed in a dark green robe, but he looked about 40 or [-] years old. A few strands of silver hair had grown out of his temples, and he was neatly combed into a bun. He wore a black orchid crown, and a hospitality mask hung on his face. With a faint smile, there is a bit of majesty between the brows.

"Master..." The little maid who was waiting for tea stepped forward to salute, then lowered her voice and asked, "Madam just sent her personal maid over, and asked if you want to have dinner tonight?"

"Go and tell Madam that she has something important tonight, so she doesn't have to wait for me." Meng Pingshan explained a few words flatly, then nodded to Si Huai and the others, and walked towards the chief seat.

Si Huai looked at his appearance quietly, his resolute and handsome face showed some signs of age, but his body trained in marching and fighting was tall and healthy, it didn't look like he needed someone else's lifespan to continue his life people.

I heard that Lord Meng and his wife have been married for many years but have no children. Could it be because of Mrs. Meng?

Before Si Huai could tell Wu Nian his thoughts, he heard Meng Pingshan speak.

"The two of you are here to inquire about the Dragon Pit near the Great Barren Mountain?"

They didn't expect him to be so straightforward, and they replied in unison: "Exactly."

"I said that the people in your Xianmen are full of food, so you can't come together when you ask questions? After leaving, you come again." Meng Pingshan impatiently picked up the teacup on the table and drank the tea , and spit back the tea that he accidentally drank back into the cup before continuing.

"The more than 1 dead bodies were thrown by me. The Ming Sect Master knew about it and sealed it for me. Later, I found out that someone had dug up many corpses from there, which caused the breath in that area to leak out." Also, I didn’t want to disturb Sect Master Ming because of such a trivial matter, so I found some corpses to fill them in. Those corpses are all unclaimed dead corpses, and it’s not a big deal to stop in Yizhuang all the time.”

"The corpses thrown there later were mixed with the corpses of several missing people in Fengmian City. Does the city lord know about this?"

"Are you here for this matter?" Meng Pingshan raised his voice a little bit, and looked at Wu Nian and Si Huai a little more inquiringly.

"I threw the corpses away, but I don't know about it. Those corpses were all carried from Yizhuang. How do I know where they are from. I heard about it from the Ming Sect Master. It is very strange that the dragon pit appeared. It may be because those corpses who died for no reason were too resentful, so even if I filled up the number of corpses, this accident still happened."

Lin Ying once said that those "disappeared" people are normal people without disease and pain. They suffered such misfortunes because they lived longer. It is not impossible that their resentment is greater than that of ordinary people. Everyone in Xianmen It is not unreasonable to attribute the cause of this matter to a part.

"Feng Mian is far away from Xinling, how could those corpses arrive at Xinling for no reason, and then just happened to be transported to the Great Barren Mountain by the city lord..."

"I'm the city lord of Xinling City, the guard of a city. How can I have so much free time to pay attention to everyone who comes in and out?" Meng Pingshan's tone was a little impatient, and he frowned and stood up. , taking into account the identity of the host and the guest, he began to slow down a bit, and said: "I still have important things to deal with, if you two have nothing else, please go back."

After saying that, he flicked his robe and strode out.

The eviction order was thrown down, and they couldn't continue to sit and drink tea in the city lord's mansion, so they had to be led by the little girl serving tea all the way out.

It took only a quarter of an hour to go in and out, and a small vendor selling candied haws not far ahead happened to pass by the City Lord's Mansion with a large bunch of candied haws, and waved to them.

Straight to the point, as expected, he couldn't ask anything, Si Huai shrugged his shoulders nonchalantly, and was about to catch up with him to buy another bunch of candied haws, but just as he descended the stone steps, the door behind him was opened again, and a young woman was caught by the door. The two soldiers rushed out, just in time to be caught by Wu Nian.

Si Huai frowned, and quickly stepped forward to pull him out of Wu Nian's arms calmly.

"It seems that City Lord Meng's statement that something is going on in the house is not entirely an excuse."

Wu Nian glanced at him and said calmly: "Amitabha, the benefactor looks haggard, but what happened?"

"Master..." When the woman heard Wu Nian's question, she quickly grabbed his arm with her backhand, and tears fell like "battering" as if she didn't want money. Whispering and half pleading: "My child is gone...my child..."

Wu Nian helped her up with some embarrassment, "The benefactor speaks slowly, what's wrong with the child?"

"My child is missing..." The woman's crying was a little choked, and she tightly grabbed Wu Nian's sleeve, "The night before yesterday, someone forcibly broke into the house and took her away...my child, just Full Moon... I can't even find the city lord, what should I do! Master, can you help me?! Please, Master... Please..."
