On the evening of February 17, 930, the passengers on board a ship sailing from the United States came down one after another on the dock in Shanghai, looking excitedly at this oriental metropolis, which was called the magic capital in the West. Among these passengers are Chinese students who have returned from studying abroad, and foreign adventurers who hope to re-emerge in the East after going bankrupt.

On the dock, relatives and friends who had already received the news picked up the passengers who got off the ship one after another, and the foreigners who came alone also took the first step to get on the rickshaw and left the dock by virtue of their skin color advantages, and soon the originally bustling dock became empty, only the trumpet singing by the porter who was unloading not far away echoed on the dock.

Among the remaining passengers, two people stood out, both of them standing tall and standing out among the small crowd. Their physiognomy is also outstanding, one. Thin and handsome like a scholar, the other is fierce and vicious like a bandit, if they walk separately, it is not good, but when the two of them stand together, they are very eye-catching. The people around him speculated in their hearts why such two people with completely different temperaments came together. Most people guessed that one of them was a bodyguard, and the other was a returning student, but when they heard the murderer-looking person call the scholar Master, everyone could not hide the surprise on their faces.

"Let's go to Chen's mansion!" Hearing Long Jinbao's inquiry, Xu Changqing thought for a while and said, "I want to meet Chen Weng." ”

After saying that, he walked towards the city, and Long Jinbao followed closely behind. Followed.

Although it took 20 years to return to his homeland, Xu Changqing did not have the slightest joy of returning to his hometown. Due to the fact that the whole of China has been surrounded by the catastrophe of the Great Tribulation of Heaven and Earth, coupled with the restrictions of the Heavenly Dao, although Xu Changqing has a golden immortal cultivation, he cannot calculate the specific situation of Huaxia, and can only speculate on the general situation of Huaxia through overseas newspapers and other Chinese mouths. However, when he did return to Huaxia, he found that the situation here was far worse than he had imagined.

When Xu Changqing left, it was at the time of the change of power in Huaxia, although the luck of the Huaxia dragon vein was exhausted and the world was full of disputes, but this was only a brief darkness in front of the phoenix's nest. According to Xu Changqing's inference, when the Republic of China was officially established, even if Yuan Shikai was a hindrance in the north, it would not affect the recovery of the entire Chinese dragon vein.

After Yuan Shikai vainly tried to claim the emperor against the sky, he finally died, and the Beiyang Army was divided and disappeared one by one, which also confirmed his previous calculation. Originally, at this time, the authorities should be in charge of the world, stabilize the chaos, and the new dragon vein luck will gradually recover, and eventually form a complete dragon vein.

But when Xu Changqing set foot on the land and calculated the fortune of Huaxia, he found that the current luck of the dragon vein of Huaxia was not to mention the recovery. Even 20 years ago, it can't be compared, scattered but not gathered, and there is a possibility of disappearing at any time. So it seems. For so many years, the government of the Republic of China, which claimed to control the political situation in China, did not completely unify the various regimes, which made China form a chaotic situation during the Five Dynasties and Ten Kingdoms, and therefore could not replace the Manchu court to gather a new Chinese dragon vein.

The situation has become so bad, although it has something to do with the ability of the authorities themselves, but the people in the demonic path of the cultivation world should also use some means in it. The more chaotic the situation, the more conducive it is to the cultivation of people in the Demon Dao, and now the Immortal Buddha Sect has almost completely abandoned the Chinese secular world and retreated to the Kunlun Immortal Realm, and was blocked by the Ten Transformations Demon Lord and could not come out. According to Xu Changqing's speculation, there are many local forces vying for power and profit in the land of Huaxia, and there are some people in the Demon Dao behind them who are fueling the troubles and stirring up the situation in Huaxia even more, thus turning the resentment of heaven and earth into demonic qi and cultivating the supreme demon Dao.

The reason why Xu Changqing made such an inference was mainly because he saw that Shanghai alone could be said to be a place where the devil was in a vertical and horizontal way, and other war-torn places were only afraid of being stricter. When he came to Shanghai from Tianjin. Foreigners have already made Shanghai the magic capital. It's just that this magic capital is more of a compliment. In the eyes of Westerners, Shanghai is an oriental metropolis full of magical powers, where there are opportunities to make a fortune everywhere, and it is a veritable adventurer's paradise. But how could the foreigners who gave Shanghai this nickname at the beginning think that decades later, Shanghai, the magic capital, would really become a demon capital. Ordinary people have been immersed in this kind of demonic energy for a long time, and their hearts have become cowardly, selfish, and cynical, and violent and cruel, and murderous.

Since the wharf where the ocean cruise ship docked was not Wusong Wharf, but the Neijiang deep-water wharf on the Huangpu River, which was not too far from the Chen family's mansion in Shanghai, Xu Changqing and Long Jinbao soon came to the door of the Chen Mansion. Compared with twenty years ago, the current Chen Mansion looks a little deserted, and green vines climb all over the walls. The iron gate is induced, and when you look in from the railing, the garden is also overgrown. At that time, the Chen family could be said to be in charge of half of the world in China, and the people from all walks of life who visited every day could be said to be busy, but now they are full of birds, desolate and cold, and can only be said to be the ebb and flow of the tide, and the rise and fall of the tide. At least when Chen Deshang gave up the real power of politics and business in Huaxia and divided the Chen family into three, he should have expected the current situation. At present, although the Chen family has lost the power of China, it can spread its branches and leaves, and its influence has spread all over the world, which can be regarded as a kind of nirvana rebirth.

Xu Changqing sighed a little in his heart, and soon returned to normal, and motioned for Long Jinbao to go and call the door. Not too much. Then he saw a servant come out of the gatehouse by the side of the garden. Approached the door, carefully looked at Xu Changqing and Long Jinbao from the fence, and saw Long Jinbao with a fierce face.

Long Jinbao said truthfully: "This should still be Chen's mansion, right? We are looking for Chen Deshang and Chen Weng, and I hope you will go in and report it." ”

"I'm sorry, our master said, my body has been infected with a cold recently, and all the outsiders are gone, so please go back!" The servant pushed back Long Jinbao's request with a set of rhetoric passed down from above, and then turned around and walked back to the gatehouse without saying anything more.

"Hmph, this old man Chen is so big!" Long Jinbao, who had eaten the closed door, snorted coldly with a little dissatisfaction, and then turned his head to Xu Changqing and asked, "Master, what should I do now?" Is it to break in, or is it for the disciple to go in and pull out that old man Chen?"

"No need!" Xu Changqing shook his head slightly, looked around, and said, "You go and clean up those demonic people lurking around first, and leave a few alive mouths for the teacher to ask."

After saying that, his body disappeared from the spot in an instant, as if he had never existed, and Long Jinbao also showed a hideous smile on his face, looked around, and his body suddenly turned into dozens of black shadows, and then catapulted out like an explosion.1 Rushing into the surrounding houses and dark alleys.
