Following the change at the city gate, there was another undercurrent in Shezhou City.

Chang Andu didn't know about this, he was only worried for a moment because of the refugees, and then picked up the previous topic: the knight who saved him.

"Coincidentally, he has the same surname as Mr. Li, and his name is Li Shi..."

Among the dense cause and effect, there is a path from Chang Andu's body, pointing far away to the outside of Shezhou City, and connected to a tall and powerful man with Kong Wu.There is also a cause and effect, which leads back from this person and lands on... Li Chi.

It's no coincidence that the surname is Li.

This was the only cause and effect that involved him when he woke up from the Li Mansion, the remaining branch of Daqing Mountain.More than [-] years ago, the Li family suffered an inexplicable decline. After all kinds of attempts failed to find a solution, they had to leave the clan land in order to find a solution to the inexplicable decline in other places. It has been more than [-] years so far.After the spirit of the house, Li stayed in the Li family. According to him, there were only seven members of the once prosperous Li family when they left the Li family. Now more than two hundred years have passed, and there is only one bloodline left in the huge Li family.

Helpless perishing, being rescued on the verge of desperation...all the coincidences and helplessness in the world, people often have to sigh "fate", where does fate come from?

Lichi holds tea, listens to Chang Andu's narration, looks down at the tea, in the steam of tea, a pair of dark eyes are reflected in the cup, the eyes seem to be covered by a vast fog, or just born from the steam of tea hallucinations.

The cause and effect are long.

It was an accident that Li Shi saved Chang Andu, at least he thought so.But it was an accident he liked.There was no particular reason, just, after rescuing Chang Andu, all his expenses were covered by Chang Andu.

After Li Shi rescued Chang Andu and took him to the nearest safe mortal settlement, after Chang Andu bought him a bowl of hot noodle soup, he was almost moved to tears.It's not surprising, if anyone is like him, who is so poor that he can't even afford a pancake, has been hunting and gathering in the wild all year round to fill his stomach, and his craftsmanship is so bad that he can only cook things well. Half a year later, when I finally had a bite of normal food, I would be so moved.

In conscience, when he saved Chang An Du, it was purely out of kindness, and he didn't expect anything in return.In this devastated and chaotic world, although he can't save everyone, since he can help, why not do it?Who can guarantee that they will not encounter things that require others to help in the future?

But then he chose to send Chang Andu all the way to Shezhou City. It's hard to say that there was no influence of eating and drinking-Chang Andu is an ordinary person, and he took him on the road with a drag bottle. Throwing it to the nearest safe place is the normal choice.

Anyway, Li Shi himself planned to go to Liangdu, and happened to be passing through Shezhou City, so why not treat himself better?

Li Shi brought Chang Andu all the way to Shezhou City. Of course, the expenses along the way were all borne by Chang Andu. Chang Andu was not stingy, and Li Shi was not extravagant either. It is only natural that the two became friends along the way.

After arriving in Shezhou City, the two should have separated. Chang Andu's family business was in Shezhou City, while Li Shi wanted to continue to Liangdu.However, Li Shi did not go to Liangdu. He seemed to have discovered something wrong before entering Shezhou City, so he changed his itinerary. Inside and outside of Shezhou city, sometimes it takes a few hours to return, and sometimes it takes a few days to return...

"Brother Li Shi is a very strange person. He has no cultivation, he only practiced martial arts, but he has the means to deal with evil spirits and ghosts, and he is very skilled, as if he often deals with them. In this world..." Chang Andu sighed softly One sound, the tone is complicated.People are avoiding evil spirits, even if they see unusual things, they just pretend not to see them.As a friend, he hopes that Li Shi can stay away from those extraordinary dangers. After all, Li Shi is just an ordinary person who has never practiced, but if Li Shi didn't have such a personality, they would never know each other. Chang Andu might be dead on that night.

All kinds of external conditions in the world cannot be changed. For example, Chang Andu fell into the hands of evil spirits in a wild temple, but the external environment can be changed according to the internal environment. For example, Li Shiren's benevolent thoughts saved Chang Andu's life.The past in the external environment has been determined, and the future in the internal environment will continue.The internal and external environment together form a numerology.

The bisque tea cover sips the leaves on the water surface, and the thick and soft tea leaves are like a boat, swinging in the sudden tea waves, messing up the reflection in the water.

Great catastrophe, morality.

Since Xu Chang became King of Liang, Luojiao has become the most powerful force among the crooked sects in Liang Guo.But this is implicit - everyone who should know knows the tyranny of Luojiao, and ordinary people still think that Shezhou City is still a solid barrier that guards Liangdu.

Since the rise of the Great Tribulation, the Disciplinary Department has become more and more difficult to control the situation in Liang Guo. The Xuanqing Sect has risen and quickly annexed one by one.

Liang Guo is like a piece of sweet cake, and the owner's family is unable to guard it, so it will inevitably be robbed by others.But some people eat more, others naturally eat less.

Cause and effect are like fog, and numerology is like a net, enveloping the world densely.

The outside world is like this, no matter whether those people who have nothing to do with this know about the confrontation at the top, they have already been involved.

A few days ago, Li Shi followed the clues he found and found Luo Jiao's trace.

Li Shi didn't tell Chang Andu what he had discovered, because this matter was beyond what Chang Andu could deal with - Luojiao wanted to sacrifice blood to the people and low-level believers in its sanctuary in exchange for power.

Li Shi didn't stop those little guys who were arranging formations, he just withdrew quietly and carefully, and returned to his secret temporary residence.He is very aware of his abilities, facing a giant like Luo Jiao, he is a person without cultivation, and he is just a car with a mantis arm.

"You shouldn't get involved in this kind of thing." Li Shi was the only one in the empty room, but a very old voice sounded.

Li Shi took out a jade pendant from his chest, put it on the table, and respectfully lit three sticks of incense to offer, but remained silent about it.

The person enshrined in the jade pendant is the spirit of his ancestors of the Li family. The curse that caused the inexplicable decline of the Li family has not been resolved. So far, not only has he been the only one left in the Li family, but it has also made him unable to practice at all.Li Shi could only choose to practice mortal martial arts. He was able to deal with those extraordinary demons and ghosts more because of the ancestors of the Li family who lived in the jade pendant.But the ancestors only had souls left, and Li Shi himself was unable to cultivate, so the means they could use were too limited.

But he is not able to be a person who knows nothing after knowing Luo Jiao's plan.

The incense was curling up, and there was no sound in the room. When the three incense sticks were about to burn out, the old voice sighed from the jade pendant, "What do you want to do?"

"Tell Xuan Qingjiao." Li Shi said.

The expansion of Xuanqingjiao's power has created more and more friction with Luojiao. It makes Luojiao feel threatened. Luojiao's blood sacrifice method is the most likely target of Xuanqingjiao.

"It's also a way." Li's ancestor said.

Li Shi's frowning eyebrows relaxed a little, and after the three sticks of incense were completely extinguished, he put on the jade pendant again and walked out of the room.

He is going to seek Xuan Puritanism.

……

"...Brother Li Shi didn't tell me, but I can see that he wanted to practice, but he didn't know why he couldn't." Chang Andu stopped after he finished speaking, holding his tea without moving, He seemed to be hesitating about what he was about to say.

The hot steam of the tea has dissipated a lot, and the temperature is just right at this time.Li Chi lowered his head and sipped slowly.

The causes planted in the past bear fruit today, and today's external environment has been achieved.Today's inner environment makes people plant today's cause.The internal and external conditions are manifested in cause and effect.

In a stronghold of Xuanqingjiao closest to Shezhou City, Li Shi was staying there as a guest.He himself doesn't want to get too involved in this matter, it's best for both parties to know his identity - even if Luo Jiao loses, it's not something he, an ordinary person without cultivation, can handle.It's a pity... the ancestor's cover-up failed to withstand Xuan Qingjiao's search. After he was found by Xuan Qingjiao's people, he respectfully invited him back to the place where he sent the letter.A Taoist named Feiying received him, and after inquiring about Luojiao in sufficient detail, he gave him a treatment that showed Xuanqingjiao's gratitude for it.

Li Shi is now free to leave the stronghold of Xuanqingjiao, but since he has been discovered, he is not in a hurry to leave, and he will wait until the matter of Luojiao is over.Who knows if his existence has been exposed to Luo Jiao?It is too easy for a practitioner to find someone, and now the stronghold of Xuan Qingjiao is definitely safer than his own secret residence.It's better to wait until this matter is over and Luo Jiao can't make a move before leaving.

Li Shi was living in peace in the Xuanqing sect, when he suddenly heard a familiar word from a member of the Xuanqing sect: "...Shezhou City..."

Li Shi shivered and stepped forward to ask, "What does this have to do with Shezhou City?"

"Shezhou City is the territory of Luo Jiao." The man asked strangely, "Don't you know?"

"How is it possible? Isn't Shezhou City a barrier for Liangdu?" Li Shi frowned.

"That's on the surface. After Xu Chang became the Queen of Liang, Shezhou City was secretly handed over to Luo Jiao. Have you heard the latest rumors? Xu Chang..." The man told him what happened 23 years ago I said it again.

Li Shi had no intention of listening, hurriedly said goodbye, and rushed out of the Xuanqingjiao stronghold.

"What are you doing back to Shezhou City at this time?" In the jade pendant, Li's ancestors scolded, "Stay well in Xuanqingjiao!"

Li Shi put two talismans on his legs: "Chang Andu is still in Shezhou City."

"Shezhou City is a big city, Luojiao may not be willing to take action against it, not to mention Xuanqingjiao has already stopped it? You need to get involved!" Li's ancestor shouted.

Li Shi was unmoved, and lowered his head to check his belongings: "If Shezhou City is really okay," he rushed out angrily, "Why do you stop me from going?"

Who knew Luo would not go crazy?Who knows how much Xuan Qingjiao is willing to put in effort, regardless of the life and death of ordinary people?

……

Outside the gate of the city, the horse-drawn carriage that had just come out was unable to move an inch, and the disaster victims in ragged clothes had already surrounded the horse-drawn carriage.The cart doesn't move its wheels, the horse doesn't move its hooves, and a young child in the cart said in panic, "I don't want to climb the mountain anymore, I want to go home!"

A middle-aged female voice resented while coaxing the young children: "The city guards suddenly brought the refugees close without notifying you. Go back and let your father vent your anger!" Then she asked about the situation: "Lu'er, let's go back today. !"

Jiao Lu responded, his brows furrowed tightly, he whipped his whip and yelled at him, and when he heard the voice in the car, he turned his head halfway and comforted him, "Don't worry, mother and younger brother, the city gate is still open and guarded by soldiers, I will send the guards to the city. The guards have called for help, and they will be back soon."

A dirty and thin hand stretched out from the crowd, holding a sharp stone and cutting towards the horse.The eyes are full of greed, that's meat!

Jiao Lu was startled, raised his whip and chopped it down.

The city gate is still open.

The people in the city still don't know anything about it.Chang Andu seemed to have considered his words, put down the teacup in his hand, and asked Li Chi: "Can you please help Brother Li Shi to see why he can't practice?"

There was a gentle smile on the corner of Li Chi's mouth, but his eyes were calm and calm, and he didn't know what was reflected: "There is nothing you can do."

city ​​gate.

The soldiers stationed no longer knew where to go, and the refugees rushed into the city like a flood that opened the gate.

The frightened horses drove the carriage wildly, the carriage was about to overturn, and the inside was crying in shock, Jiao Lu was about to be thrown off the horse, and the white and elegant paper clothes on his body had long been broken.

A tall and mighty man came running from a distance, and suddenly jumped high when he was approaching the crowd, stepping on a small space to break into this chaotic scene.He picked up the man who was falling to the ground and stuffed him into the carriage, and then chopped off the shaft of the carriage with a knife.

Jiao Lu gasped in shock for a long while, with sweat on his forehead, and finally recovered from the panic that he was about to fall under the hooves of the galloping horse.He subconsciously opened the car door, and the left and right refugees all headed towards the city gate, and that figure was already submerged in it.

……

"It's impossible."

Chang Andu was delighted from the bottom of his heart, he got up and was about to say thanks, "I..."

boom!

The door was knocked open suddenly, and a figure stumbled in.

"Li Shi?!" Chang Andu exclaimed in surprise.

"Let's go! Shezhou City can't stay anymore!" Li Shi grabbed his arm.

"Wait a minute, what's going on?" Chang Andu was staggered by him and asked in surprise.

"Shezhou City is the territory of Luojiao. Luojiao wants to sacrifice the whole city with blood. Hurry up!" Li Shi spoke quickly.

"Wait, Mr. Li..." He dragged Chang Andu forward a few steps, then looked back at Lichi anxiously.

"Don't worry." Li Chi was still sitting on the chair safely, the teacup in his hand hadn't been put down yet.

Chang Andu actually stopped and said to Li Shi: "Brother Li Shi, this is the Mr. Li I told you about. Don't worry, what happened? How could Shezhou City be the territory of Luo Jiao?" ? Why did they sacrifice the whole city with blood?"

"Shezhou City is a deal that King Liang made with Luojiao in order to ascend the throne. They ran out of time, and they put refugees into the city just to get more blood sacrifices!" Li Shifa said anxiously.

"But Shezhou City can provide them with more benefits, why kill the chicken to get the eggs?" Chang Andu asked.

"Because the pressure Xuanqingjiao put on them has far exceeded their calculation of the price." Li Chi's calm voice came from behind him.

"It'll be fine." He put down the teacup, got up and walked to the door, "Let's go out and have a look."

When the door was pushed open, the light suddenly brightened, and what flooded in with the light was riotous fighting, crying, scrambling, and shouting.The city guards were nowhere to be found, and all the refugees had poured in from outside the city. They broke into all places, scrambling for everything that would allow them to survive.

Chang Andu was too shocked to speak.

The ground suddenly trembled, and a certain tension in the air suddenly dissipated.

A faint sound of mosquitoes and flies came from the jade pendant to Li Shi's ears: "The underground blood sacrifice formation has been broken."

Li Shi's face was still gloomy. Even if Xuan Qingjiao solved the blood sacrifice arrangement of Luojiao, the chaos in the city would not be easily calmed down.Because of the movement just now, the situation on the street became even more chaotic.

But at this moment, the crazy refugees suddenly fell down one by one, and soon a large area was lying down on the street, but within three breaths, there was no one standing on the street anymore.

Li Shi's face changed, and he pushed Chang Andu back into the house with his backhand. He quickly walked to a fallen refugee and squatted down to check it. It's getting weirder.

"...What's going on?" Chang Andu asked.

"They fell asleep." Li Shi said.The refugees all fell asleep, which was a good result. The riot was controlled without casualties. Judging from the way Xuanqingjiao resettled the refugees elsewhere, it was not difficult for them to accept this group of refugees, but... he Can't help but glance at Lichi.

Li Chi was still standing at the door, calmly watching the people sleeping in the street. How similar was this scene to the one caused by the nightmare-eating tapir in Shuigu Town?

He withdrew his gaze, looked back at Li Shi, and said with a smile: "Why look at me, isn't this the result of your hard work?"

"Is this all written by Xuan Qingjiao?" Li Shi frowned and muttered, "How is it possible..."

Luojiao has been operating in Shezhou City for more than 20 years, and Xuanqingjiao has just risen during the catastrophe.It was only a few days before he found out that Luojiao had the intention of blood sacrifice before notifying Xuanqingjiao.This is the main battlefield of Luojiao. Normally speaking, even if Xuanqingjiao can successfully stop Luojiao, it must pay a lot of price, and it is difficult to take care of the people in the city.How could it be the current situation where one side is crushed?

"If Xuan Qingjiao didn't have such ability, how could they force Luojiao to the point of blood sacrifice?" Li Chi said, "Go back."

Li Shi stared at Li Chi's back. He originally thought that this "Mr. Li" was also a member of the Xuanqing sect, so he was able to be so safe and sure that nothing would happen in the city.But Mr. Li's half-smiley expression when he spoke just now doesn't seem to be the same as Xuan Qingjiao...

He touched Chang Andu next to him: "What is the origin of this 'Mr. Li'?"

Chang Andu shook his head: "What I know is what I told you before. Mr. Li saved me before. We just met today."

Li Shi didn't ask any more questions, and pulled Chang Andu to go back.

Chang Andu hesitated, "What about these people on the street?"

"Someone will take care of it." Li Shi said.Since it was the people from Xuanqingjiao who made the move, they would naturally handle the follow-up.

Li Shi pulled Chang Andu back into the room, closed the door with his hands behind his back, the light dimmed again through the gap of the closed door, his eyes never left the calm figure in the room, the sound of water was clear, Li Shi The gentleman was pouring tea for himself with a pot.

From the arrival of the refugees to the city, to the silent disappearance of this blood sacrifice, it was just a cup of tea.
