Yu Tianqi has been cautious all the way, but unexpectedly, there is no other danger in this funeral except for the flower poison, Yu Tianqi walked for more than an hour, and finally walked out of the flower mist area, and vaguely saw a clear world in front of him.

"Have you finally reached the center of the funeral shrine?" Yu Tianqi muttered to himself, and couldn't help but speed up his pace, and after a while, Yu Tianqi broke through the heavy flower mist and stepped into the new world in front of him.
"Fragrant big meat buns, three pennies a piece!"
"Rock sugar gourd, a string of five texts!"
"Outside the nickname, the rookie crown of Tiandu Huacheng, on the night of the full moon on the fifteenth day of this month, he will marry the pearl of the city lord's palm!"
......
What surprised Yu Tianqi was that he actually came directly to a city at this step, and the pedestrians around him were endless, the voices of people were boiling, and the shouts of hawkers were heard from time to time.
Yu Tianqi looked left and right, this city was the most ordinary mortal city, there was not a single cultivator within the scope of his spiritual sense, and even the spiritual energy between heaven and earth was thin and negligible.
"Where is this!" Yu Tianqi frowned, and suddenly looked back, only to see that behind him, the way he came had disappeared, and the funeral was completely gone, but Yu Tianqi was sure that in the previous step, he did not touch any prohibition or fall into an illusion, everything in front of him should be real.
"In the funeral depression, how can there be such a human city, joke!" Yu Tianqi's mind turned sharply, and he was sure that everything in front of him was illusory, but what made Yu Tianqi incomprehensible was that if everything in front of him was an illusion, when did he fall into the illusion?
"Forget it, let's take a look first!" Yu Tianqi looked calm, and actually walked directly to the breakfast stall on the side to ask for a bowl of noodles, and then quietly looked at the passers-by.
After a while, the fat and round-waisted proprietress gave a bowl of steaming green vegetable noodles, and Yu Tianqi didn't have any scruples and ate the noodles directly. However, it was at this moment that a slender woman walked up to the stall and asked for a bowl of noodles.
This woman is dressed in coarse linen clothes, although she is not beautiful, but she is not ugly, but Yu Tianqi can see it clearly, but the woman's hands are covered with calluses, and the whole person's complexion is very bad, completely because of the lack of qi and blood supply caused by long-term overwork.
"Hehe, Hongru, I'm here to buy breakfast noodles for your father-in-law today!" The proprietress was obviously no stranger to women, and greeted her very familiarly.
"Yes, Mrs. Li, Xianggong loves to eat your noodles!" The woman reluctantly smiled, carefully took out the embroidery bag, took out the three pennies from it and settled the account, then packed the noodles in the food box and left.
The proprietress looked at the back of the woman leaving, couldn't help sighing, and muttered to the wife on the side while or flour, "This little lady of the Li family is also a poor person, his husband is not doing his job all day long, so ambitious, and he is bent on flying Huang Tengda, if it weren't for Hongru's dedication to running the family, I'm afraid that their family would collapse early!"
"Okay, other people's family affairs, don't nag!" As he spoke, the thin old man glared at the proprietress complainingly, and then turned to clean up the wooden table, but when he turned around, he found that the young man who was still eating noodles at the next table was gone, and only the white noodles that were still exuding heat remained on the table.
Yu Tianqi left the noodle stall, and followed the woman named Hongru all the way, quietly following behind, and after a short time, the woman turned into an alley and entered a rather dilapidated tiled house. Yu Tianqi didn't need to look at it, just swept his spiritual sense, and sighed helplessly, in the tile house, it can be said that there are four walls of the house, only some tattered bottles and cans left, the woman took out the steaming noodles, and put them on the square table with a missing corner, and sat quietly at the table and waited.
This is a day and a night, the whole process, the woman does not sleep, does not sleep or eat, until the sunlight shines through the window cracks in the house, the woman numbly stands up, dumps the noodles on the table, washes the dishes, and then numbly walks up the street, towards the stall.
I also bought a bowl of noodles, I also paid the bill and came back the same way, and I also put the noodles on the table, and the woman waited quietly. The face went from white to cold, and finally rancid, and the woman's eyes didn't blink, just looking at the face.
Yu Tianqi outside the house had been watching so quietly until late at night, when Yu Tianqi came back to his senses, and his figure disappeared in place in a flash. The next moment, a agile figure appeared at the mouth of the alley, only to see this person look left and right, only to cautiously enter the alley, and quickly entered the dilapidated tile house.
As soon as this uninvited guest came, the woman in the room came back to her senses, and her eyes were full of tears and said, "Xianggong, you are finally back!"
The man who arrived looked at the woman with a strange expression, and said "um" slightly, and his eyes saw the cold noodles on the table, and the man looked stunned, so he subconsciously asked, "Do you still buy noodles and come back to me every day?"
The woman nodded slightly, showing a happy smile and said, "Xianggong likes to eat noodles, and the concubine is afraid that Xianggong will not have noodles to eat when he comes back, so she has been preparing!" While speaking, the woman saw the cold noodles and said, "This noodles are cold, and the concubine's body is hot!"
"No need!" The man stopped the woman and said, "I have a few words to say to you!" Speaking of this, the man was a little speechless and stopped, but after thinking about it, he gritted his teeth, pulled the woman in front of him, held the woman's hand and said, "Hongru, I am very grateful to you, you have been silently with me when I was at the lowest point in my life, but, you know, today's life is not what I want, what I want is to get ahead!"
"Xianggong, what are you talking about, I don't understand!" When the woman heard this, her expression was a little panicked, and she looked at the man with a dodgy look.
"Hongru, I want to say, our fate is over, but I can swear, the person I love the most is you, you will be considerate of me, won't you?" As he spoke, the man's broad hand had let go of the woman and pinched the woman's neck, only to see that the man had unbearable tears in his eyes, and said, "Hongru, forgive me, your existence will only drag me down!"
As he spoke, the man turned his head unbearably, and as soon as he used his hands to exert himself, he only heard a "click", and the weak woman fell to the ground in such a fit of anger. The man, after killing the woman, threw out a fire fold and lit the thatched pile in the house, and then the man left straight away.
The fire soon burned the whole room, and the woman lay quietly on the cold ground, with tears in the corners of her eyes. I don't know how long it took, until the silence of the night was broken by the sound of firefighting, the woman's motionless body trembled slightly, only to see the woman stand up with a wooden expression, her whole person fell into hesitation, those raging flames were ruthlessly burning the woman's body, but she was still unaware.
The fire was ruthless, and the woman was burned to the ground, which was very miserable, but the woman was always standing like this, and I don't know how long it took, until there was a dense sound of footsteps outside the house, and the woman came back to her senses slightly, only to see that the cotton and linen clothes she was wearing emitted a flush, and the surrounding fire was isolated from the body, and then the woman's destroyed skin recovered at a speed visible to the naked eye.
The woman looked at the bowl of noodles on the table with tears in her eyes, and finally sighed secretly, and left quietly.
Yu Tianqi watched this scene as a bystander, and did not make a move during the whole process, until the woman left, and Yu Tianqi followed her out of the city.
Tiandu Huacheng is the largest city within a radius of 100 miles, extremely rich, and there are even fewer dignitaries and dignitaries in this city. Yu Tianqi followed the woman all the way to Tiandu Huacheng, and came to the deepest part of the city lord's mansion.
In front of the City Lord's Mansion, Yu Tianqi saw the woman's father-in-law, at this moment, he was flattering to accompany a woman in luxurious clothes, and around several people, a large number of maidservants and family members were clustered.
At this moment, this group of people was about to enter the City Lord's Mansion, and the woman named Hongru walked towards the man step by step so quietly, as if for the woman at this moment, she only had the man in her eyes, not the City Lord's Mansion and the outsiders.
"Who are you, this is the City Lord's Mansion, you must not trespass!" When the woman walked in front of the City Lord's Mansion, the two guards suddenly looked terrified, and stopped the woman with a long stick, and directly framed the latter. And the shouts of the guards also happened to reach the ears of the men and women who were about to enter the door.
When the man looked back and saw the woman who appeared not far behind him, he seemed to have been stepped on by the tail, and he was immediately frightened. In his memory, wasn't his wife, who had knotted hair, obviously killed by himself? Could it be that he couldn't bear to kill her, leaving her a glimmer of life?
"Xianggong, Hongru is here, come home with me!" The woman's mournful voice sounded slowly, her eyes looked at the man tenderly, and in an instant, the expressions of everyone present changed slightly, just this sentence, they guessed a lot. Especially the woman who was supported by the man, her expression flashed with a haze, and she looked at the man next to her indifferently and said, "What's the matter!"
"This! I don't know her!" The man was a little panicked and anxious, and hurriedly shouted at Hongru, "Where is the barbaric woman, don't you know that trespassing on the city lord's mansion is a capital crime?
"Wait!" the man was anxious to get rid of the woman, but unexpectedly, the woman next to him sneered and said, "She called you Xianggong before?"
"You heard me wrong, I don't know her, I swear, Xiaoqian, I love you so much, don't you believe me?" The man was also calm, and he still said with courage at the moment.
"Okay, you said you don't know her, come here, beat her to death!" With the woman's order, a group of guards with wooden sticks rushed out of the mansion, and they came to Hongru's side, only to see one of them beat Hongru to the ground with just a stick, but Hongru was extremely tenacious, and her eyes always looked at the man without blinking.
"You say you don't know her, then you go up and fight to prove your loyalty to me!" the woman next to the man sneered and urged.
The man's expression changed slightly, a little unbearable, but thinking of his situation, he gritted his teeth, and finally picked up a long stick and joined the ranks of the guards.
On this day, in front of the city lord's mansion, a guard beat Hongru to death, and Hongru's corpse, which was lying in a pool of blood and covered in scars, was also transported outside the city and sank into the rolling river outside the city.
