Volume 1: The Peace Bureau (Part I) Chapter 95, The Dead Knot

The next day, the ancient city ushered in the first snow after winter, and the sky was gloomy.

Fly ash of snow foam crept through the cracks in the window and formed a thin sheet of ice on the wall, making the already cold room even colder.

Phantom Bamboo got up and got dressed, and Fan Yan, who had been sitting in the hall for a night, intervened, and walked indifferently towards the cell door.

Fan Yan squinted her bloodshot eyes, looked at her slender back, and suddenly stopped her.

"What's your real name?"

Phantom Bamboo stood still, turned around slowly, and looked at him with contempt in his eyes: "Does this make sense?" ”

Fan Yan spread out one hand and took out three pills.

Phantom Bamboo was a little confused, and he didn't know why this guy who was about to retreat suddenly changed his mind and hesitated for a moment.

"Xu Qing"

Fan Yan suddenly, the sorrow between his eyebrows faded a little, and he threw his hand: "Don't let me down"

Phantom Bamboo's arm shook slightly, and a wisp of gray smoke was thrown out of his cuff, and he rolled the pill back into his hand, and without even looking at it, he turned around and left the room.

……

C-shaped tower prison.

Ye Mo and Lu Hua had just gotten up early when they saw Phantom Bamboo push the door and walk in, much earlier than he expected.

Phantom Bamboo glanced at the reed flower with pigtails, and looked at Yeming with some confusion, paused slightly, took out three Zhenling Pills from his arms, and stretched out his other hand, the meaning of which was self-evident.

After Ye Yan looked at it, he thought for a while and said, "How is Fan Yan now?" ”

Phantom Zhu sneered: "No, hurry up, otherwise when he wakes up, it will be difficult to say."

Ye Yan nodded slightly, and took out three hanging money: "I can't be sure whether this medicine is true or not, I can only give you one first, if everything goes well, enter the City God Temple, I will give you the second one, and when I return to Middle-earth, I will give you the third one."

Phantom Bamboo snorted lightly: "Pay the money with one hand, deliver with the other"

Ye Yu smiled: "Yes"

Phantom Bamboo took out a pill and exchanged it for a life money, but the next move made Ye Yu feel a little bad.

I just saw that the girl in black actually put the copper coin directly in her mouth and chewed it and swallowed it in her stomach.

Then, without saying a word, she turned and walked out of her cell, and walked down the stairs by the wall to the stairs.

Ye Su had no choice but to pick up the bamboo basket, pull the reed flowers, and follow closely.

But to the surprise of the master and servant, Phantom Bamboo did not go down to the first floor, but led them to a cell on the second floor that was piled up with miscellaneous items, and ripped off the rags covering the wall, where there was a dark hole.

The girl in black turned around and glanced at Ye Yan again, took out a medicine bottle from her arms and handed it to him: "Your face is too obvious, this is Yi Shoudan, it can change your appearance"

Ye Mo looked at the medicine bottle, shook his head slightly, took out a flower pot with a black cover from the bamboo basket, tore off the cloth cover on it, took out a ghost face flower that had been prepared for a long time, pulled off the stamens the size of egg yolks, wiped it on his face, and instantly turned into a white-faced young man with clear eyebrows, which was the appearance of Qingfeng.

When Phantom Zhu saw it, Xiu raised his eyebrows slightly, but he didn't say anything more.

"Where does this lead?"

Yeyu looked at the entrance of the cave, but did not burrow into it in a daze.

Huanzhu said: "This is a spatial crack left by the night of the great change in the ancient city a few days ago, there is the bottom of a dry well of a deserted house, and one more street is the City God Temple."

"Why don't you go the normal way?"

"Your every move now is under Fan Yan's surveillance, he has a close relationship with you, now you have to escape from the ancient city, even if you get the Zhenling Pill from someone else, he is the object of suspicion, if he is obtained by someone else, he will definitely be severely punished, and even put on death row again, and he is only one step away from becoming a guest of the Taiping Tower, and then he can use the power of the Taiping Tower to take revenge, so if you insist on going to the City God Temple like this, it will be absolutely impossible to succeed!"

Ye Yan lowered his head and thought about it, and then looked at Phantom Bamboo: "It seems that this is a dead knot, no matter how lustful Fan Yan is, he shouldn't be confused in this matter, could it be that you also have a deal with him?" ”

Phantom Bamboo's expression was indifferent: "Not bad, but do you have any other choice now?" ”

Ye Yu scratched his head, feeling that the hanging money was too early, he looked at the hole again: "You are advanced"

Phantom Bamboo chuckled and plunged into the hole.

Ye Mo took out another thing from her arms, handed it to Lu Hua, and whispered a few words in her ear.

The little girl pursed her lips, looked into the boy's eyes, and nodded.

Sometimes knowing that it is the tiger's den in Longtan, people also want to break through, which is to fight for that glimmer of life.

……

Outside the cave, the world is vast, the distant mountains are slanted, how can there be any deserted houses and dry wells, it is clearly a wild hillside far away from the city.

Phantom Zhu was stunned in the snow, a touch of horror appeared on his originally indifferent face, and his face suddenly became as white as the falling snow around him.

Not only did the environment outside the cave surprise her, but the person standing in front of her also made her feel a little shocked.

That turned out to be Fan Yan, who was still in the room and had nothing to do just now!

It's just that at this time, he is already the same as before, wearing a fox fur, with his hands on the ground, standing under a dead tree, squinting at her for a long time, his eyes are full of abuse and greed.

Phantom Bamboo suddenly realized that she had made a mistake.

With her understanding of Fan Yan, he shouldn't be the kind of person who can sit still because she can't calm down because she can't calm down and doesn't want to be looked down upon by a woman.

He's a thief! Sword thief! Whoopy thief!

Leaving such a piece of meat like her, which she had already coveted, must have had a bigger plan, and she should have seen this earlier.

But Fan Yan waited until the morning, just to convince her that he still had a bottom line.

He even asked her name, as if to memorize her.

"So it's all your ploy!"

Phantom Bamboo quickly regained her composure after being shocked, her voice grew colder, and a trace of true yuan like gray mist slowly emanated from her body.

It's not that she doesn't want to escape, but this spatial rift has been manipulated by Fan Yan, and it will be difficult to retreat.

Ye Mo and Lu Hua came out of the hole, and their hearts were also tense when they saw this scene.

Lu Hua looked up at Ye Su and saw that he shook his head slightly, and did not act rashly.

Fan Yan tilted his head and chuckled: "It's just a plan, otherwise, how can I force you to choose this path?"

Huanzhu took a slight breath, and she realized that she did underestimate Fan Yan as a person, and underestimated the other party's understanding of her.

"What do you want?"

Ye Mo suddenly interjected, his face cold.

"Three Gold Beads, Plus One Explanation"

Fan Yan turned to look at the transformed Yeyu, and glanced at the little girl next to him with contempt in his eyes.

Looking around, although he couldn't see any figures, he could faintly feel that there were several people lurking in the wind and snow in the distance, and they had surrounded them, but he didn't panic.

"Bring the Soul Relief Pill"

Nightshade spreads out one hand.

Fan Yan touched his chin with one hand and shook his head slowly.

"It's not a deal, it's a condition, a condition for letting you go alive"

Yeyu frowned: "Just the sword in your hand?" ”

Fan Yan suddenly let out a burst of poignant laughter: "Ye Yan, I admit that I underestimated you before, but the same mistake, I will never make a second mistake, you should know that I came prepared, even if you have the support of Juyizhuang behind you, it is useless, this time you are buying your own life with three gold beads, no matter how you calculate it, it is worth it"

Ye Yan was silent for a moment, and shook his head helplessly: "It's useless, you have a weakness, it's your family feud, even if you ambush people here today, and you are sure to keep me here, it won't change anything, the three golden beads are full of the essence of the three golden beads, I want to refine them easily, you don't have time to stop it, and you can't be reluctant, and you can't let go, so you will put forward such a condition, you should know that trading Zhenling Pill here, your risk is the lowest, and besides, if I want to leave, you can't stop it at all."

As he spoke, Ye Yu rubbed the head of the reed flower beside him.

The little girl's little face, which was a little pale from the cold, began to turn red, and there was boiling water emanating from her.

Fan Yan frowned, and sneered again: "Is it just her cultivation?" ”

Ye Mo looked down at Lu Hua, because he had just seen the snow outside, he took out a winter coat from Sumeru and put it on the little girl, but the child was too young, and he was dressed like a big cloak, completely blocking the little hands that should have been exposed at this time.

He crouched down and rolled up the cuffs of his winter coat, revealing his fleshy little hands.

It was only at this time that Fan Yan on the opposite side saw that the girl who didn't know the origin was holding an incense head that could be the thickness of an adult's little thumb in her hand, and the incense ash had burned out by one finger.

He was all too familiar with it, and a look of shock followed his face.

Even, even Phantom Zhu, who thought that Ye Yu was just delaying time, and that he was inevitably going to fight a vicious battle today, was surprised to see this scene.

It was a long-lit incense.

You can view the secret medicine according to the incense Suoji and the spirit of thousands of miles.

"Huh"

Phantom Bamboo suddenly let out a low chuckle, a little harsh.

She didn't expect that Ye Mo would have such a hand, and she would easily break the unsolvable situation in front of her, and there was a faint hint of jealousy in her heart.

Fan Yan's face gradually distorted, as if he was being violently kneaded by two invisible hands.

He hesitated for a while, and finally took out the two Spirit Revitalization Pills from his arms, but looked at the Phantom Bamboo beside Ye Yan.

"It seems that you didn't get the money for hanging your life, otherwise you wouldn't have taken him away"

Phantom Bamboo sneered: "The transaction always comes little by little, I told you before, if you believe me, it will be good for the three of us, but it's a pity that you are too conceited"

Fan Yan's eyes were cold, and he suddenly raised his hand and threw the two pills to Yeyu, and said to Phantom Bamboo: "I hope your transaction can start and end well."

Ye Mo took the pill, turned his head to look at Phantom Bamboo, and slowly spread his hand.

Phantom Bamboo knew what he was worried about, glanced down, and nodded slightly.

Ye Yan put away the Zhenling Pill, flipped his palm, took out three gold beads from Sumeru, and threw them back to Fan Yan directly.

"The two don't owe each other"

Fan Yan took the golden beads, but he didn't speak, he only swallowed the beads one by one into his stomach, and just as he was about to turn around, he suddenly threw a green pill the size of a bean into his mouth, and at the same time poked the scabbard in his hand into the ground.

Seeing this, Phantom Bamboo's face was shocked again: "Be careful, that's the Shenglong Pill, it can enter six into seven, and keep a stick of incense"

Before the girl in black could speak, the snow that fell around the two suddenly became messy.

The roar of a behemoth beast was faintly heard in the sky.

There were three strange lights of different colors lit up from a hundred zhang away, like majestic and upright mountains rising from the ground, not only keeping out the cold wind, but even the vitality of heaven and earth became thin.

Fan Yan looked at Ye Yan and said coldly: "You're right, it's true that the three styles of asking the heavens are my weakness, but now that they are no longer in your hands, I can keep you, since you have something to do with those old immortals in Qingcheng Mountain, you should know what kind of array this is, or you try the soul spell to see if you can get out."

Phantom Bamboo secretly bit her lip, hating Fan Yan for repeatedly going back on her word, and the gray mist around her body became more and more dense, faintly forming the outline of a tall giant.

Ye Yan looked around again, and suddenly realized in his heart that the big array set up by Fan Yan was the mountain protection array of the Qingcheng Sword Sect, and he sighed lightly: "I can't imagine that the four elephant array mountain swords of the Qingcheng Sword Sect are all in your hands, do you really want to die?" ”

At this time, Fan Yan no longer had any scruples, and his expression became distorted because of excitement.

There was only one thought in his mind right now.

That is to kill the boy in front of him who always seems to be able to calculate his back.

Phantom Bamboo carefully unfolded his divine sense, and found that there were at least eight people hidden around, three of whom had merged with this large array, all of them seemed to have seven realm cultivations, and the other five were guarding outside the array, their breath was unknown.

She was a little confused, most of the cultivators in the tower prison knew that there were very few who could cultivate into the Seven Realms, and each had its own backer, and she would never obey Fan Yan's orders like this.

Unless......

The girl in black suddenly thought of a possibility, and a chill suddenly surged in her heart.

In the tower dungeon, only those prison corpses who rarely see the light of day all day will help Fan Yan so carelessly.

Only in this way can the aftermath be better dealt with afterwards.

"All these people around are prison corpses, outlaws"

Phantom bamboo reminded loudly.

When Yeyu heard this, his face changed slightly, but he still shook his head in the end.

Based on his understanding of Fan Yan, although this person is lustful and misbeneficial, what is hidden under that unruly appearance should be a scheming person, if it weren't for this, he wouldn't have thought about revenge all day long.

He couldn't understand why he would take the risk when the knot had been untied just now.

This is not in line with Fan Yan's calm character.

Ye Yu said slowly: "You don't have more than one weakness, if you really want to die and break the net, then you must die first."

The young man touched the head of the reed flower beside him again.

The little girl raised her other hand, rolled down her sleeve, revealing her small fist, staring at Fan Yan fiercely with a pair of phoenix eyes, and pinching a copper coin between her fingers.

Lu Hua said in a voice that was still a little milky: "This is your hanging money, if you don't want to die, just stand still!" ”

Fan Yan had a cold face, and took out a red rope from his neckline, on which three copper coins fell.

Huanzhu just thought that Ye Mo could give her a surprise again, but she didn't expect to show her timidity, her face couldn't help but be a little ugly, and she said to Ye Mo with a psychic technique: "Work together to capture the thief and capture the king."

"Don't be reckless, the formation is mysterious, how many of these people do you know outside?"

"To the east, Gao Changgong, to the west, Huangfu Xuan, to the north is a fat man, I don't recognize it, the five outside are too far away"

Seeing that he couldn't restrain Fan Yan, he quietly took out a large jar from the bamboo basket he was carrying and slammed it to the ground.

With a bang, a large jar of copper coins was scattered on the ground.

I saw him raise his breath and say loudly: "No matter whether you are invited by this Fan loan master or coerced, I will give you a chance now, whoever can kill Fan Yan, I will return the money to him."

After a sound, the few people who were gathered behind them were silent, but one of the blue light barriers shook slightly.

Fan Yan said angrily: "Don't listen to his nonsense, he is simply bluffing, how important is the money for hanging his life to Taiping City, how can he be taken by them"

Seeing that Fan Yan didn't cry when he saw the coffin, Yeyu shouted: "Luhua, find out Gao Changgong, Huangfu Xuan, and the fat man's hanging money in the north!" ”

Lu Hua stiffened her little face, although she had not ordered this situation in advance, but the two had been together for many years, she was already very familiar with her style of acting, and knew that this was making her bluff, but she did not do it, but bit her finger and dripped a drop of blood on the copper coin.

Seeing this, Fan Yan didn't want to give Ye Yan and the little girl beside him who made him feel faintly weird a chance to turn the tables, so he suddenly poured a surging true yuan into the Canglong Sword in his hand, unlocked the forbidden spell on the scabbard, and was about to activate the big array.

However, the copper coins on the ground burned at this moment, and black flames appeared.

"Don't be so troublesome, my mother-in-law said, those who don't listen to persuasion will be burned to death"

Before the words fell, I heard Siye exclaim continuously, and the sword curtain like a green mountain on three sides shattered, and there was a faint wail.

"Stop"

"Stop"

“……”

Yeyu looked at Fan Yan, who was completely shocked: "What other tricks do you have?" ”

Fan Yan's face suddenly turned the color of pig liver, his forehead was full of green tendons, he was unwilling to be calculated again and again by Ye Yan, but there was nothing he could do, he almost wanted to pull out the Canglong Sword, and fight to the death, but the remaining trace of reason in his heart told him that drawing the sword at this time was likely to be besieged by the prison corpses, and he had no chance of winning at all, he was like a fierce beast that was suddenly locked in a cage, not advancing for a while, not retreating, and finally he could only swallow this evil breath: "Ye Yan, you won this time, but you won't always win"

After speaking, Fan Yan pulled out the Canglong Sword from the ground, turned around and walked into the wind and snow.

Ye Yu waited for a while, and made sure that Fan Yan was far away, so he said to Lu Hua: "It's okay"

Lu Hua pouted, stared coldly at the direction where Fan Yan disappeared, and shook his head: "This strange uncle is just underwhelmed, master, you withdraw first, and I will deal with the aftermath."

Ye Mo pressed her hand on the little girl's shoulder, "I said it's okay."

Reluge reluctantly raised her little hand again and took the drop of blood back.

The wailing around gradually stopped, and more than a dozen figures retreated one after another.

Seeing that the big event had been decided, Ye Yu hurriedly took out a jar from Sumeru: "Luhua, fill the money, and talk nonsense"

Lu Hua shook her head, handed the incense head in her hand to Ye Yan, and urged: "Master, you go quickly, my mother-in-law is coming, I can feel it."

Ye Yu was shocked when she heard this, and saw that the little girl was pinching her bitten finger hard, and her heart was slightly abrupt, but she didn't hesitate anymore: "Luhua, remember my words, wait for me to come back!" ”

Lu Hua lowered her little head and nodded silently.

Ye Yan smiled, pinched her little face, blew the soul incense, looked at the phantom bamboo again, and silently recited the soul mantra together, and the figure dissipated in the wind and snow in an instant.

Only then did the little girl look up into the distance, her face full of tears.
