The remnant sun fell in the west, and the blood-like sunset shrouded the entire Yancheng in it, and the crowd at the city gate was in a hurry, just like when the city gate was opened in the morning.

The time of day, when the gates are about to close, is also the busiest time of the day. Some people who go out of the city to do errands don't want to sleep in the wilderness, so they rush into the city to find an inn to have a good rest. And some small caravans in small villages outside the city also had to leave Yancheng before closing.

Like many cities on the mainland near the border, there is a curfew, and it is not allowed to wander around the streets at night. If this provision is violated, the offender will be fined and thrown into prison, or killed on the spot. If you are treated as a spy, you will not only lose your life, but you will be worse than death under the severe punishment of the law enforcement team in the city.

The soldiers at the city gate were busy checking everyone entering and leaving the city. Those who enter the city will pay a certain amount of money and will be given a city crest, and when they leave the city, they can leave as long as they hand over the city emblem.

Among the crowds entering the city, there was an old woman dressed strangely, and she was particularly conspicuous in it. At this time, it was still the end of summer, but the old woman wrapped her body very tightly with long clothes and trousers. A long cloak was draped over the outside, and a huge hat on the cloak covered most of her face, so that people could not see her full appearance, and it was vaguely distinguishable that the old woman should be very old, and the corners of her mouth and chin were wrinkled.

Although the old man walked in the crowd, everyone around her felt an invisible push pushing the crowd away from her three feet away. Seeing this situation, the people around vaguely guessed that this old woman was not simple, so they all consciously avoided her location.

As the flow of people slowly moved forward, the old woman finally came to the city gate. The soldier in charge of registration was also full of curiosity and vigilance when he saw the old woman's dress. The old man avoided the people around him all the way, although these soldiers didn't know the reason, but they probably guessed that this old woman should be an existence that they didn't dare to provoke.

It is very coincidental that this city gate is the city gate that Zuo Feng and other people from Zuojia Village walked through when they entered the city. Yancheng has always been very strict with the soldiers under his command, and after the last time he was whipped with a crooked mouth, this city gate did not dare to act out of line at all, and at this time, he didn't dare to make a casual appearance when he saw this strangely dressed old woman.

The old woman walked slowly, as if the wind would blow down, and when she came to the gate, she reached into her bosom and took out five copper coins and placed them on the registration table. The soldier glanced at the five copper coins on the table and then at the old man in front of him, and said with some embarrassment.

"Ahem...... Old man, according to the usual practice, I need to ask you where you are from, what you are doing in Yancheng, and how long you will stay in Yancheng. ”

When the old woman heard the words of the registered soldier, she raised her head slightly and looked at the soldier. At this moment, the surrounding soldiers finally saw the complete appearance of the old woman, and looking at the appearance, the old woman was probably seventy or eighty years old.

The old woman's face was full of wrinkles, and there were gray spots at the corners of her eyes that only older people would have. A pair of eyes also gave people a cloudy feeling of being unable to see, but the complexion on her face was as rosy as that of a young man. The old man looked up at the soldier in front of him and spoke.

"Old man, I have long forgotten where I came from, and I have been walking around this wild goose city casually, maybe I will leave tomorrow, or I may live for a month on a whim, I can't say for sure. ”

After listening to the old woman's words, the registered soldier had an embarrassed expression on his face, and spoke again: "The old man is not that I am embarrassed by you, but we are also doing things according to the regulations." If we can't tell the origin and understand the meaning, we can only ...... Please rest outside the city. ”

He wanted to say "If you can't say it clearly, please go away", but he didn't dare to say it, and in the end he changed it to "ask her to rest outside the city for a while".

The old woman looked at the soldier in front of her with her cloudy eyes, and her heart was a little hairy because of these cloudy eyes, and the registered soldier couldn't help but take a few steps back, not even knocking down the chair behind her.

Seeing the frightened appearance of the soldier, the old man sighed slightly and reached into his arms again, and the old man's action immediately aroused the vigilance of the soldiers around him, and they raised the weapons in their hands.

Seeing the soldiers around him look like they were facing a great enemy, the old man was slightly stunned at first, and then laughed twice. Then he slowly took out a small black stone from his bosom, and then slowly handed it to the soldier in front of him.

Seeing the jet-black stone, the surrounding soldiers were stunned. Seeing that the old man had only taken out a stone, he slowly put down the weapon in his hand, and a group of soldiers looked at the black stone at the same time.

At first glance, everyone will think that it is just an ordinary black stone, but if you look closely, you will see the difference. First of all, the black surface of the stone, the kind of black makes people feel that the black is very pure, and the black makes people seem to be unable to grasp whether its shape is square or round, or whether it has edges and corners.

And if you keep staring at it, you will have a kind of self that will be swallowed up half by this pure black. And in this blackness, there is a white light flowing. The white light seems to be absent, sometimes it seems to wander on the surface and sometimes it seems to flash inside the stone, making people feel as if the white filament-like light is seen by their own illusion.

"Is this ...... Black Phantom Stone," a captain-like soldier said, somewhat uncertain.

After his words fell, a series of gasps came one after another, and then the group of soldiers stared blankly at the strangely dressed old woman in front of them like fools.

The old woman seemed to be satisfied with the reaction of the group of soldiers, and smiled and took the jet-black stone in her hand into her arms. Then he walked slowly towards the city gate, and the soldiers around him were still in shock and stupefied, but even if they came to their senses now, they no longer dared to stop the old man in front of them.

A soldier trembled and muttered blankly, "Oh my God, is this old man actually the same existence as the leader of the empire?"

To the soldier's words, the old man who was moving forward muttered as if talking to himself, "Chief...... The little guy hadn't seen him in years. After saying this, the old man walked towards the city without looking back.

Her casual words echoed in the minds of those soldiers like thunder, and a few of them with poor willpower had already sat down on the ground.

The old man's pace was still unhurried, and his appearance still looked like he would fall when the wind was strong. As she stepped into the wild goose city, Zuo Tiantian was also knocked to the ground by the group of hooligans at this moment.

Suddenly there were strange dark clouds in the distant sky, and the black clouds were so low that they almost touched the ground. There were thick lightning flashes in the thick clouds, and there was not rumbling thunder along with the lightning flashes, but it sounded more like a huge beast roar.

The whole Yancheng seemed to be completely still at this moment, and all the people put down all the work in their hands. Even some of the guys were making tea for the guests, and the teacups were already full of people and the guests didn't know it, until the hot tea trickled down the table to the guests' laps, and the guests suddenly realized that they suddenly screamed in pain after a long time.

Such things abound in the whole Yancheng, and the chef looked sideways at the sky, and the dishes in the pot were already charred and stinky, and he didn't know it. The driver who was driving looked up at the sky and went the wrong way, and still continued to move forward stupidly.

There are only a few places that are more special, one is the stone chamber of the largest mansion in the city, where a middle-aged man with a full beard opens his eyes sharply during retreat. The dark stone chamber was like two lightning bolts slashing, and the moment he opened his eyes, a long roar rolled in his throat and spread far away.

The sound was rolling, and even the heavy stone walls could not stop the roar from penetrating. After the whistling, several figures flashed out of the stone room like ghosts, kneeling on one knee and respectfully saluting at the command. The middle-aged man in the stone room only said lightly: "Find out this vision." ”

At the same time, the same voice sounded in Yancheng one after another: "Go and check."

"Yes, Lord Left. ”

"Hurry up and look it up. ”

"Yes, Lord Right"

Similar words and answers came from the two small mansions in Yancheng, and then several figures in Yancheng began to quickly converge towards the place where the shops in Zuojia Village were located.

At the moment when the vision occurred, the mysterious old woman at the city gate had just stepped out of the city gate. When she saw the vision in the sky, her brows furrowed slightly, but there was a faint look of excitement on her face. When the electric light flashed in the dark clouds and there were bursts of beast roars, the wrinkles on her face seemed to stretch out in an instant, as if the whole person was dozens of years younger at this moment.

As excitement and excitement rose, her whole body shook slightly, and she quickly swept towards the place where the vision had occurred.

Although there were many people approaching the place where the vision took place now, the fastest among them was the old woman who was in a state of old dragon. If someone around sees the moment the old woman moves, they will feel that the old woman's body in front of her shook twice in place as if she couldn't stand, and then the whole body suddenly faded and disappeared in front of you.

From the gate where the old woman was, it was the farthest distance among the many people who rushed to the place where the vision had taken place. But a moment later, the old woman was the first to appear on the side street where Zuojia Village was located.

At this time, although the dark clouds in the sky had not dispersed, the beast roar and thunder in the clouds had gradually subsided. The momentum of the wind and sand here has gradually weakened, and the surrounding things have become clearer.

When the old woman arrived, she found the corpses on the ground, as well as the unconscious Zuo Changqing. But to her disappointment, there was nothing else to gain except these, her brows furrowed, and the old woman's voice was a little hoarse and said to herself: "Look at that vision should be here, how can it not be, shouldn't it...... Shouldn't it?"

At this time, the sound of breaking wind sounded one after another, and several ghost-like figures also appeared here. As if they could not see the light, they tried to lurk in the shadows of the corners of their houses when they came here.

As soon as they arrived here, they immediately focused their attention on this seemingly extremely ordinary old woman.

The old woman's gaze swept around as if nothing was around, although the later black-clothed people were each hidden, but after the old woman's cloudy eyes swept away, each of them had a feeling that they were being seen through.
