The big devil had tried to give the dream bell to someone else before, but now that he carried it with him, he changed his mind again.He doesn't remember anything about the past, but he loves Mengling very much, and won't let others touch it at all.

……

Especially not to Tianxiu Shangxian Xiao Fuxuan.

Every time you touch it, the big devil's expression is very subtle.Obviously, when he didn't want to hold the Mengling with his own hands before, Xiao Fuxuan was the first person to plug him in.

While Ning Huaishan and Fang Chu pretended to be dead, they could see clearly through the slits of their eyes, saying that they were indeed our city lords.

Wu Xingxue didn't want to argue with Xiao Fuxuan over and over because of a small bell, but it didn't matter on her face, it just seemed like they had ghosts.

He simply closed his eyes, leaned against the wall of the carriage and pretended to fall asleep.I couldn't help laughing at myself: How about the devil, who is not good to learn from, like Ning Huaishan and Fang Chu, those two idiots.

A fool's method often has some effect. After Wu Xingxue pretended for a long time, he actually felt a little sleepy.

***

According to Yi Wusheng, the world is too chaotic nowadays, and each fairy sect will set up fairy gate restrictions and enchantments on the borders covered by their own forces, just like the ones that block the Great Sad Valley, and they are different in size.

They stand in forests on the outskirts of cities, mountains, docks and other places, layered on top of each other, and cannot be ignored.

Those who used to be among the immortals, those with high cultivation bases, could walk with a sword, shrink thousands of miles, and go from the extreme north to the extreme south without much effort.

Not now.

It's not that they can't defend if they retreat.It's that in an instant, I don't know how many forbidden barriers I have to force through, how many fairy gates I have to disturb, and along the way, I can get soft hands just by collecting letters from various families.

Therefore, in order to avoid trouble these years, as long as the situation is not particularly urgent, most of the trips are made by special vehicles and horses.

When the carriage stopped for a while or made a sudden turn, it passed another restriction.

Along the way, you can estimate how many cities you have passed through.

From the Great Compassion Valley to Luohuatai, it takes about a whole day to walk through four cities.

Wu Xingxue felt the carriage jerk slightly in his sleepiness, thinking that this should be the third one, not too far from Luohuatai.

It was just dawn when they set off, and now it was almost evening, perhaps because they were getting closer to the Night City of the Demon Cave, the cold air was much heavier.

Wu Xingxue actually felt the cold.

He hid his fingers in the wide sleeves, rubbing the heater lightly with his fingertips.The heat in the stove is actually very hot. It has been pasted for a long time, and it is even slightly hot, which is most suitable for such a winter night.

But Wuxingxue was still cold.

He thought at first that the chill was coming in through the cracks in the carriage windows, but then he realized that was not the case.It was more like growing out of his bones, like wet icy water, flowing around the cracks in the bones and the meridians.

The warmth in his hands was not enough to cover the coldness.

He tried to circulate Qi Jin again, and turned for several weeks...

colder.

No memory is trouble.He doesn't blink when killing people, but he's useless like a waste at this time.

Wu Xingxue laughed at himself in his heart.

He lazily opened one eye slit, trying to draw a thick felt blanket to cover it.However, Xiao Fuxuan lowered his eyelids slightly, and his eyes fell on him. He didn't know if he was looking at him, or he was fascinated by looking at him.

"..."

Wu Xingxue was stunned for a moment, then silently closed her eyes again.

The blanket was out of reach, and there was too much movement.As for the cold...

Then let's be cold, they are all turned into monsters, and they can still be frozen to death!

Wrapped in the cold, he fell asleep in a daze.Before falling asleep completely, the consciousness still struggled for a while, not forgetting to put Mengling in his hand so as not to be touched again.

Perhaps it was because of holding the white jade bell that he had a dream in his entirety.

***

In the dream, he was also very cold, and the same cold air flowed down his bones and covered his whole body.But he was wearing thin clothes and didn't even have a heater.

With empty hands, he stood in a certain huge courtyard, bent over and washed his hands beside a piece of green bamboo.

The moss on the side of the base stone was frozen, which showed that the water should be extremely cold, but he didn't know it.He just looked down at his pale fingers.

"City Lord." Someone called him.

Wu Xingxue stretched her fingers twice, then straightened up unhurriedly, and turned her head to look.

I saw Fang Chu standing under a towering tree, with a deep pool in front of his feet, with snow piled up beside the pool, and the water in the pool was deep and sticky.

The water looked black at first glance, but when the foam splashed on the snow, it was a bright red.

A hand struggled to come out of the pool and scratched twice out of thin air.Fang Chu kicked over, and the hand sank back again.

After a while, there was no more movement.

Fang Chu rubbed the blood from the soles of his shoes twice on the sedge, and reported: "City Master, these two ignorant talkers have already finished taking care of them, but I don't know how many words have been spread."

Wu Xingxue took a snow-white cloth towel from the silver rack next to the bamboo pump, wiped her hands and said, "I don't remember face, where did these two little things come from?"

Fang Chu: "...a little thing."

The corners of his mouth twitched.

His family always insisted that they always use this kind of address, and people who don't know it will think it's a nickname.However, those are two things who don't know the heights of the heavens and the depths of the earth. It is estimated that they are helping their master to find out the news, and they desperately found the bird.

It happened that he bumped into his city owner who was sick and in a bad mood, so they all fell into the pool of blood, not even bones left.

Of course, a good mood can be worse.

Ning Huaishan has always been a little afraid of the blood pool, but Fang Chu is not. He can only survive by crawling out of this pool, so he has no feeling at all.

Seeing a small golden hook floating on the pool of blood, he hooked it out with his fingers indifferently, discerned for a moment and said: "City Master, there is a soul hook."

The Devil's Cave Zhaoye City is a place without human feelings and humanity. In the mansions of the big devils, there are always many little demons who help them.

When the big devil can hold back, they are obedient subordinates and followers.If they are injured and weak and cannot be suppressed anymore, they are hungry wolves who will bite back at any time and wait for an opportunity to rise to the top.

For peace of mind and for easy control, some demon bosses will fasten a soul hook on the life gate of those subordinates, which is comparable to the neck leash used by mortals to tie dogs in the market.

Those soul hooks are usually hidden under the skin and flesh, and will only show up after death.

If this kind of sinister thing is in Xianmen, no one will engrave the name and surname on it, wishing that no one would know who did it.But in the Morden it's just the opposite.

The demon bosses are arrogant and domineering, and they all have unique imprints on their soul hooks, and they are not afraid of being seen at all.It's good to see it, and it can help them gain a bad reputation.

The more vicious the reputation, the more no one dares to commit crimes, and the more obedient and honest the subordinates will be.

So Fang Chu knew who it was when he saw the mark: "The owner of the city should belong to Mr. Sang's family."

Wu Xingxue: "Master Sang, which Lord Sang?"

Fang Chu's face was paralyzed.

Wu Xingxue said softly "Oh", "You mean Sang Yu?"

Fang Chu couldn't hold back, and muttered: "There is only one person named Sang in Zhaoye City."

The implication is, who can confuse this with!

But his city lord is very amazing, maybe because he is too strong, other people can't catch his eyes.There are several well-known devils in Zhaoye City. Everyone in the world is frightened by the news. Sometimes the owner of his family has to react when he hears the name.

Especially this Sang Yu.

But his reputation outside is second only to Wu Xingxue.

Some people said before that every time Wu Xingxue didn't remember Sang Yu's name, she was actually deliberately mocking her.Otherwise, how could he not know who "Master Sang" refers to.

Fang Chu thought so at first, but after following Wu Xingxue for a long time, he found out that the city lord of his family really didn't do it on purpose.

There are only a handful of people in the world who can make Wu Xingxue "deliberate".

"Where's Ning Huaishan?" Wu Xingxue put down the cloth towel and asked.

"Going out to do errands." Fang Chu said, "The last time the city lord explained to him, he said he would finish it in two days. I heard him yelling and feeling cold yesterday, and it is estimated that it is almost time for robbery. Can't get out."

Hearing the robbery period, Wu Xingxue's expression was indifferent.

On the other hand, Fang Chu glanced at Wu Xingxue carefully, and said hesitantly: "City Master, your catastrophe in the past few days..."

Wu Xingxue turned to look at him.

Fang Chu fell silent and didn't dare to say more.

Wu Xingxue said: "Since the soul hook belongs to Sang Yu, then you can go with me to Sang Yu's place."

Fang Chu honestly handed the soul hook to him, and couldn't help but said: "How can you let the city lord go to him, he should come to the door to make amends."

"That's not necessary." Wu Xingxue didn't pick up the soul hook, and walked through the corridor empty-handed towards the door, "I can't stand his smell, it's best not to come."

Fang Chu handed the soul hook, which meant it. Seeing that he didn't pick it up, he stuffed it into his pocket very skillfully, and then said: "It is true that those who practice the corpse way are a bit shady, but Mr. Sang has already practiced to the extreme. It doesn't taste good anymore."

But he realized in turn that his city lord was sometimes so particular that he didn't look like a devil, so he didn't say any more.

It should also be a cold winter in the dream, and the night city is foggy, and you can breathe out white air just by opening your mouth.

Wu Xingxue got off the black carriage and entered a huge mansion.

The demons in Zhaoye City have many eccentricities, and they have all kinds of strange mansions.Especially for those who practice corpse art, their mansions are often built like underground palaces.

Sang Yu's is very normal. At first glance, he is no different from those wealthy families in the royal capital of the capital.But when you enter the door, it's different——

Ordinary people's halls are lined with guest chairs on both sides, but his place is fine, with a circle of dark coffins leaning against the wall.

A ring of coffin nails was tightly sealed on the lid of the coffin, and it was also covered with yellow paper talismans. Some earnest and noisy laughter could be faintly heard.

If any common people came here, they would probably be frightened by the laughter.

But Wu Xingxue turned a blind eye and led Fang Chu through the hall and into the room.

Sang Yu's subordinates hurriedly chased after them, but they didn't dare to get too close, and tried to stop them: "City lord, city lord, city lord!"

"Say it, I'm listening." Wu Xingxue didn't stop in his footsteps, his posture was unhurried, but he often reached the other side of the covered bridge in a single step, which was very strange, making the demon's men confused.

"Our Mr. Sang, it is not convenient for him to meet guests at the moment." The subordinates said.

Sang Yu is used to being arrogant in Zhaoye City, even with his subordinates in the house.If it was someone else who entered the mansion, they would have already started, and they didn't even bother to open their mouths.But it happened to be Wu Xingxue, they didn't dare to do it at all, so they had to use their mouths.

Wu Xingxue said "Oh", and said: "It's his business if Fang is inconvenient, it has nothing to do with me, did I ask him?"

Men: "..."

As if he had entered the land of no one, he turned a few turns and stopped in front of a tall house.

Needless to say, she also knew that Sang Yu was in this room.Because the whole room was filled with extremely thick dampness, as thick as tens of thousands of people were buried here.

This time even Fang Chu felt the smell was too strong.

Wu Xingxue frowned, and touched the tip of her nose without any concealment.

Men: "..."

They couldn't stop them, so they had to shout loudly into the house: "My lord, the city lord is here!"

They seemed to want to get close to the door, but were afraid to get close. They looked like scrawny wolfhounds with green eyes and hungry eyes.On the one hand, there is the food they covet, on the other hand, they are discouraged because they are not strong enough.

There was no echo in the room, but some extremely low human voices, as if sealed by a barrier, sticky and vague.

But the lingering dampness suddenly became thicker.

"My lord—" the subordinates continued to shout.

Wu Xingxue moved her fingers hanging by her side, and there was a loud bang, and the closed and sealed door was slammed open by an invisible force.

They hit the wall with a loud bang.

Thick and damp Yin Qi flowed out from the door, like a fluffy gray mist.

Wu Xingxue turned her head to avoid it, then turned back, and finally saw the scene inside the door clearly——

The curtain is wide open, the room is filled with the smell of half-dried blood and entangled shadows.

As soon as the restriction was broken, the voice that had been muffled in it flowed out unobstructed, hitting the walls, doors and windows, flickering dully and bright.

Demons have always only sought pleasure, they have no heart and lungs, let alone the shame and morality of ordinary people.

Sang Yu glanced out the door, then turned back with narrowed eyes.After a while, he turned over unhurriedly and sat on the couch with his legs propped up among the intertwined figures.

He rushed out of the door and said in a hoarse voice: "Why is the city lord here? I happened to be in the catastrophe period, it was too cold, so I called some people to warm up, but I couldn't go to the hall to welcome me, I was offended."

Wu Xingxue showed no expression, but Fang Chu rolled his eyes.

When Sang Yu saw it, he laughed: "Why, isn't this how the catastrophe period is passed? If you don't rely on these, is there another way?"

He was hugged by those figures, and his body was covered with sweat, so he really didn't look cold.

It's just that the sweat dried up in an instant, and he shivered very lightly, then grabbed the hand of one of them, and drank the blood under his embrace.

The person whose hand was bitten didn't respond at first, and then began to tremble and struggle after a long time.

Sang Yu threw away that hand, leaned back against the other person, and looked at the big devil at the door with blood on the corner of his mouth.

He shrugged his nose and pretended to sniff a few times: "Hiss—by the way, I heard from my subordinates that the city lord was also in a catastrophe a few days ago."

"Tsk, those of us who are cultivators are free to do anything, except that the catastrophe is hard to endure, and the higher the realm, the harder it is." Sang Yu said with a smile: "Then I am somewhat comforted, at least the city lord must be more uncomfortable than me too much."

"However, I have never seen the city lord arrest anyone during the catastrophe period. How did you get there? I was really curious, so I sent some people to keep an eye out for me. It seems that they can't come back?"

He obviously knew why Wu Xingxue came here, so he simply said it without any concealment.He sighed hypocritically and said, "Two poor things, but these two poor people told me something very interesting yesterday."

He looked at Wu Xingxue and said: "I heard that they saw a person in Quebuluo during the days of the city lord's robbery, and they suspected that they were hysterical. Since those two poor things are already dead, I will help you." They ask..."

"City lord, why would Tianxiu Shangxian stay by your side during the calamity period?"
