Chapter 067 The Legend of Lu Xiaofeng
The three smart people got together and talked incoherently. Xue Bing sat next to Lu Xiaofeng and listened to the whole thing, but still didn't understand what they would do next.
When asked about Lu Xiaofeng, he only comforted her that things would soon have a result, and he even swore on his own reputation that her grandmother would be fine.
Xue Bing spat at him and said with a red face that Lu Xiaofeng's reputation was worthless and the words of such a drunkard could not be trusted.
She said this, but she believed it in her heart.
After being worried and afraid for such a long time, as soon as she relaxed, she felt very tired. The maid from the City Lord's Mansion came forward and led her to the guest room to rest.
Lu Xiaofeng was next door to this guest room, which made Xue Bing's alertness disappear immediately.
She could doubt Hua Man Lou and not trust Ye Gucheng, but she would never doubt Lu Xiaofeng.
Not only because he was her sweetheart, but also because Lu Xiaofeng was a person who would never deceive or betray a friend, and the position she held in his heart... was at least closer than that of a friend.
Thinking of this, Xue Bing's face turned redder. She covered herself with the quilt, and her slightly furrowed brows slowly relaxed.
Finally, she was able to have a good sleep.
Xue Bing left, and Lu Xiaofeng's straight back relaxed. He sighed with a headache, and looked at Hua Manlou and Ye Gucheng with some resentment: "You two, let's be frank. I have told you everything I know, and you should tell me what you know too."
Just from the moment they looked at each other, he knew that these two people must be hiding something from him.
Not to mention anything else, he just didn't know the reason why Hua Manlou would travel with Ye Gucheng from Jiangnan to Feixian Island.
Thinking of this, Lu Xiaofeng sighed again. He had always felt that Hua Manlou was quite malicious, but unfortunately no one believed him. Now, the seventh child of the Hua family was becoming even more malicious.
Facing her friend's accusation, Hua Man Lou smiled, and her pink eyes retracted their bright light and turned back into translucent gems.
He said: "Is there anything in this world that Lu Xiaofeng with four eyebrows doesn't know?"
Ye Gucheng curled his lips slightly, and a smile appeared in his eyes.
Lu Xiaofeng took a deep breath and pretended to be surprised: "Wow! It's only been a short time since we last met, and you've learned to turn the tables on me?"
Hua Man Lou suppressed her laughter and bowed to him: "How dare I, how dare I, it's like saying that people get swayed by the company they keep. Who told me to have such a famous friend?"
The two looked at each other for a few moments, then laughed out loud at the same time.
Ye Gucheng looked at them, feeling a slight envy in his heart. He had never had friends as good as them.
The people of Baiyun City respected him, loved him, and feared him, but he had no friends, never had any.
The golden angel sitting in the air tilted his head to look at Ye Gucheng, who looked a little lonely. He blinked and appeared beside Ye Gucheng in a flash. The hand covered with golden gauntlets gently patted his shoulder, as if to comfort him, but it didn't seem to mean that.
He just wanted to pat him on the back. This human being is not suited to such emotions as loneliness.
Ye Gucheng paused in putting down the teacup, and a deeper smile filled his heart. He turned his head to look at the golden angel who was staring at him, and shook his head slightly to indicate that he was fine.
The angel looked at him for a while, then withdrew his gaze and turned back into the god who looked down upon the world equally.
Over there, Hua Manlou had already told Lu Xiaofeng why he came to Feixian Island and why he traveled with Ye Gucheng.
However, he still concealed the existence of the angel.
The angel is their biggest trump card now. When the enemy's true identity is unknown, His existence cannot be exposed no matter what the considerations are.
Just like he didn't tell Lu Xiaofeng that Xue Bing killed many people, and these people were all wronged souls.
These things will always be said, but not now, not now is not the time.
Of course, the biggest reason is the angel's will.
The angel didn't seem to want Lu Xiaofeng to see him. There was admiration for Lu Xiaofeng in his words just now. Although it was very faint, Hua Manlou and Ye Gucheng still heard it. However, it was just such a faint admiration, which was not enough for the angel to appear in front of Lu Xiaofeng.
Why didn't you show up in front of Lu Xiaofeng?
At this, Tarona just wanted to laugh.
Because [Mechanical Angel] is not interested in Lu Xiaofeng, who can be regarded as a very good person in terms of both character and personal morality.
[Mechanical Angel] is also an angel. In the vest card setting, he also follows the law of seven virtues, namely chastity (loyalty), temperance, generosity, diligence, gentleness, and humility (justice).
Compared to other angels, the Mechanical Angel, who was not endowed with emotions by the Supreme God, was more rigid and strictly followed all the angel doctrines.
As everyone knows, Lu Xiaofeng has many female confidantes all over the world. Although he may eventually return to his right path,... well, he no longer conforms to the first virtue followed by the [Mechanical Angel].
And why did the [Mechanical Angel] treat Hua Man Lou and Ye Gu Cheng more favorably? Not only because the two of them fit his definition of purity, but also because -
The Hua Man Lou and Ye Gu Cheng in this world are both... those who understand will understand.
Tarona wanted to laugh even more.
The [Mechanical Angel] still had a blank expression on its face, but the staff inside was already laughing so hard that they were rolling around in their sea of consciousness.
Theseus, who has not yet entered the relevant knowledge into the data: I don't quite understand your sense of humor.
Ye Gucheng supplemented some of the information that Hua Manlou confessed. After listening to it, Lu Xiaofeng fell into deep thought.
He had seen many strange things that were claimed to be ghosts and gods, but in the end they were all found to be nothing more than human nature. When he was younger, he had wondered why evil people were not afraid of such things when walking on the street at night.
As he met more and more people and things, he gradually understood a truth -
The Master does not speak of strange things, supernatural powers, or supernatural beings. The world is like this, and people's hearts are the worst.
Now suddenly there were real ghost stories, coming from the mouths of his best friend and the person he wanted to be friends with the most, both of whom were the last people in the world to tell lies.
Lu Xiaofeng's brows were almost wrinkled into a ball. He couldn't stop shivering and got goose bumps all over his body.
He suddenly remembered that after the restoration of the Ming Dynasty, several prisoners were sent to the government every once in a while. His eyes gradually became complicated and enlightened.
"Hua Man Lou, you can't be... able to see, right?"
What can you see?
It cannot be said. It cannot be said.
Hua Manlou nodded: "That's right."
Lu Xiaofeng's eyes and expression became more complicated, as if he had a lot to say. He opened his mouth, but the words were already on his throat, but he didn't know whether he thought of something else or swallowed them back.
He took one look at Ye Gucheng, who looked calm and composed, and knew that this man had known it for a long time.
This shouldn't be the case. He is Hua Man Lou's best friend. Why is he the last one to know?
...Forget it, when it comes to the safety of my friends, none of this matters.
Lu Xiaofeng is very smart. If he wasn't smart, he would have become a dead phoenix long ago.
The threats faced by Baiyun City and Shenzhen Villa can be summed up in one word: wealth. In contrast, the danger faced by Huamanlou is that danger comes from the sky while one is sitting at home.
The three seem unrelated, but if you think about it carefully, they have the same source.
[Evil eyes]? It sounds like he is not someone you would be happy to deal with.
Lu Xiaofeng looked at Hua Man Lou and then at Ye Gucheng. The murderous intention was approaching, but these two people were more calm than the other. It was him who had just learned about this and was getting so anxious that he was almost running around.
...Well, there are still things to hide from him.
So who is the master that Hua Man Lou is talking about?
Hua Manlou avoided his inquiring gaze, and Ye Gucheng didn't need to hide. He looked at him for a few seconds. The first person to look away was Lu Xiaofeng.
Tsk, Ye Gucheng's appearance gave him the illusion that he had seen Ximen Chuxue.
These two are both top swordsmen, so it is only natural that they have many similarities.
The road ahead seems to be filled with fog, which has only been slightly dispersed by the wind. If they want to make another breakthrough in this fog, they still need new clues.
But the angel said that neither Hua Manlou nor Ye Gucheng could leave His side.
Although they are not afraid of evil spirits, they are also people who cherish their lives and will not commit suicide recklessly just because of a whim. Hua Man Lou has the Hua Family, and Ye Gu Cheng has Bai Yun Cheng. They all have concerns and ties, and they cannot disregard everything, and now is not the time to disregard everything.
At this time, the angel who was sitting in the air with his chin in his hand said: "I will go to Shenzhen Villa to investigate for you. As for the new clues..."
He gazed at a point in the void, a new moon rose in his brilliant golden eyes, bright starlight revolved around the new moon, and his eyes were a dazzling cosmic sky.
"It will come, soon."
Someone will bring them new clues.
The next day, the sun rose, the angel spread his wings, and flew into the sky.
He turned around in the air and looked at the city below that he could control with one hand. Golden light condensed in his hand, and a hollow spear carved with intricate patterns was slowly grasped by his five fingers.
Tarona calculated the power output and then handed it to her partner for a second calculation. She only started to take action after the power threshold was accurate to six decimal places.
In order to prevent the anomaly from stealing her home during the short time she was away, she decided to put a barrier around Baiyun City.
Use the divine fire of [Mechanical Angel].
If you insist on saying there is something wrong...
It will be a little painful for those who have done evil and have no remorse.
The angel slightly turned his body, aimed at the city below, and raised the golden spear in his hand.
rub!
A gilded flame ignited on the gun. It was not a swaying mist, but a semi-fluid texture, which made it look particularly heavy.
The angel was exerting force, and the armor covering his entire arm made a slight sound. The flame on the spear burned more vigorously, and even the sunlight was not as dazzling as its brilliance.
A gust of wind blew from behind, and the slender waist twisted slightly, and the [Mechanical Angel] threw out the long gun in his hand.
call!
The long☆spear broke through the sea breeze and tore through the air. The golden divine fire dragged a long flame tail, like a meteor drifting from the sky. It fell straight towards the city below, moving forward unstoppable!
Ye Gucheng stood in the courtyard, looking up at the sky. His amber eyes clearly reflected the bright golden Mars that was getting closer and closer.
Even though it was still so far away, he could feel the power of this "Mars".
But, that's an angel.
He slowly loosened his grip on the sword hilt.
In the short process of rapidly approaching the earth, the spear gradually grew larger. When it was a hundred meters high, it had turned into the size of a mountain, and its cross-section was almost comparable to the entire City Lord's Mansion.
Ye Gucheng did not move, even though the sharp mountain was already pressing down on him.
Boom!
The golden light engulfed him and the entire Baiyun City. Within a few microseconds, the light spread to the entire island.
A spear as big as a mountain pierced through the island, leaving only the handle of the spear, which was engraved with intricate patterns unrecognizable to humans. It was straight and looked like some kind of anchor to suppress evil.
Only two people had the opportunity to witness such a grand scene.
Hua Manlou, who was standing by the window of the guest room, was stunned. He accidentally saw the golden light outside the window and walked over to take a look out of curiosity. Unexpectedly, he could see such a spectacular scene.
At this moment, the golden light had already condensed, but his eyes recorded everything that had just happened. It was such a dazzling light, but it only made people feel warm, and even if they looked directly at it, they did not feel uncomfortable at all.
Angel, no matter how cold your face is, you are a loving god inside.
Ye Gucheng exhaled slowly, and his heart beat faster than usual. How could one not be moved by such a grand scene?
Baiyun Sword Immortal thought that he had seen a magnificent scene that would never appear again in this world, and he had no regrets in this life.
As soon as the thought came to his mind, he heard a woman's shrill scream.
Ye Gucheng looked suddenly in the direction where the sound came from. That was... Lu Xiaofeng's residence.
It’s Xue Bing.
It was not just Xue Bing. The same miserable screams were heard from all over Baiyun City. Some of them were locals, some were men, some were women, and most of them were strangers.
These people have one thing in common -
Killing innocent people without any remorse.
The angel standing on the cloud overlooked the city. The [Holy Lance] penetrated the island with the City Lord's Mansion as the center. The invisible divine fire rose up to form a circular barrier, protecting the island from top to bottom, from inside to outside.
The good ones can go to heaven, and the evil ones will only be burned by the fire of God.
Until they sincerely repent, the divine fire will burn all the time until all their sins are burned away.
This will be a very long and painful process.
However, the Mechanical Angel is not an angel of judgment who is responsible for judging sins. He has no interest in the repentance of the wicked. This is just a protective barrier.
When He returns, He will take back the Holy Lance.
Therefore, just endure the pain for a few days.
…
drop.
——The current synchronization rate between Operator Tarona and the [Mechanical Angel] is 31%.
…
With the help of the [Mechanical Angel] at a speed of light years, Tarona arrived at the Shenzhen Villa from Feixian Island in the blink of an eye.
She hid her figure, passed through all obstacles in front of her like a ghost, stood in front of Mrs. Xue, and eavesdropped openly.
Xue Bing told Lu Xiaofeng that the information was wrong, or maybe she herself was kept in the dark by her grandmother. It was indeed 200,000 taels, but it was not silver, but gold.
Two hundred thousand taels of gold, even if you sell the Shenzhen Villa ten times, you probably still can't get enough. The only place in the world that can take out two hundred thousand taels of gold in one go is the national treasury.
The person who made this request had no intention of leaving any chance of survival for Shenzhen Villa. That was why Madam Xue knocked Xue Bing unconscious and sent him on board to go out to sea.
Why go to Baiyun City?
Who in the world doesn't know the White Cloud Sword Immortal? He is the most powerful swordsman in the world today, and he is well-known to everyone.
Mrs. Xue could only send her granddaughter to such a faraway but safe place.
And today marks the deadline that person mentioned.
After Madam Xue sent Xue Bing away, she dismissed most of the servants in Shenzhen Villa. Only a few loyal servants who refused to abandon their master's house and leave stayed. The huge villa was empty and a heavy atmosphere of dusk could be felt even in broad daylight.
She had actually made up her mind to die. Did she know that she would not be able to survive?
Tarona was sitting on the left side of Mrs. Xue. She tilted her head to observe the head of the family who was still in good shape. Even though he looked very old, one could still see the glory days of the past on his weather-beaten face.
No one who can become famous in this ever-changing world is a simple person.
Such a legendary figure in the past was actually trembling.
Very subtle, but definitely trembling.
She was scared, very scared.
This fear was not because of death, but for a reason that was more familiar to Tarona.
——horrifying.
This kind of fear usually occurs in people who are attracted by the horror and supernatural world.
She was afraid of terror.
She did not show this fear on her face. She tried her best to overcome it, but things in the world are not always as we wish. This fear that seemed to come from human genes could not be easily overcome.
The only thing in this world that can be associated with horror is anomaly.
The person who came to Shenzhen Villa was abnormal.
But why did it set its sights on Shenzhen Villa?
Tarona thought for a long time, and the only reason he could think of was one - Shenzhen Villa had a high prestige in the world, and although he could not get a hundred responses with one call, he could certainly get dozens of responses.
What do you want to do abnormally?
Is it only targeting Shenzhen Villa?
Theseus guessed: [A unified world? ]
Tarona shook his head and denied: [It's impossible. If it wants to unify the world, it must first kill the world consciousness, or make it impossible for the world consciousness to kill it, but it is not even complete at the moment.]
Therefore, Anomaly's greatest wish at the moment is to devour [Good Eyes] and become a complete body. Unifying the world is not within its consideration.
However...
【You gave me a new idea. 】
Abnormalities don’t take these into consideration, so what about abnormal possessed people?
The idea of a unified world is too grand. Let's try it out with a conspiracy. Wouldn't it immediately become more reasonable?
Tsk, aren't there too many elements of rebellion in this world?
Theseus quickly listed the names of the traitors. It was no wonder that many people were eyeing the emperor's chair. As expected, people's joys and sorrows were not the same. This kind of job, which was extremely disliked by the officers of the Time and Space Balance Bureau, was still very popular in this world.
Tarona had just named the names on the list, but before he had time to take a good look at them, the "radar" of the Mechanical Angel rang.
——An evil being is rapidly approaching the Shenzhen Villa.
The witch paused, then collected the list obediently. She stood up, and in a flash, she was already outside the manor hall.
She stretched out her hand and drew out a Holy Lance that was emitting divine fire from the air, ignoring the magic and continuing to operate it dutifully.
She still likes the drama where the enemy is in the open and I am in the dark, so I'd better hide as long as possible.
The person came very quickly and reached the mountainside from the bottom of the mountain in an instant.
There were eight people in total, led by a young woman wearing a light persimmon-colored silk skirt. She had a whip made of fine steel wrapped around her waist and a short sword hidden in her sleeve.
Behind her were two masked men on each side. They were tall and strong, with slightly protruding temples. They were obviously masters with profound internal strength.
As for the last three...
They are no longer human.
From a distance it looks like a human, but when you look at it closer, it would scare anyone with a smaller courage to death.
They are all terrifying in their own way.
One looked like a zombie, bloody and mangled, with both eyeballs drooping out of their sockets and two rows of teeth sticking out. Just by looking at it, one could smell the stench of a rotting corpse.
One looked like an alien, with a square head, no eyes, no ears, no nose, and only a mouthful of teeth that were not much thicker than a needle. The two hands were not hands, but forelimbs similar to a mantis, and the legs were not legs, but spikes covered with long thorns. The ends of those thorns were glowing with a faint green light, perhaps they were poisonous and deadly.
The last one looked like a lizard man, with muscular body and the ability to turn a person's head into fireworks with one punch. It had a tail as long as its body trailing behind it, with sharp scales opening and closing, looking like it could be used as a dart to shoot out and cut a person in half with one blow.
If these were the horrors that Mrs. Xue saw, then she should be afraid.
It would be strange if normal people were not afraid of them.
As they got closer to the gate of the manor, one of the people following the woman spoke up: "Palace Master, our spies reported that Xue Bing is not inside. Are we going to capture him later?"
He did not agree to arrest Xue Bing separately. Madam Xue was enough. The person in charge of Shenzhen Villa was Madam Xue, not Xue Bing.
The leading woman clearly disagreed: "Xue Bing has other uses, let them find him!"
The man slowed down his pace a little, as if he was not convinced, and it took him a long while to reply "yes".
Talona, who had heard their conversation, said in a confused voice: [Princess? It's not a rebellion, but a confrontation between the two countries? ]
Theseus: […Is it possible that he was talking about the ‘lord of the palace’?]
Tarona was not able to react for a moment: [Huh? Isn't it different?]
Theseus sighed: [Then change the name to beef soup, do you remember it? ]
Beef soup?
The witch blinked and suddenly realized: [It's her. ]
She looked at the list and saw Gong Jiu's name was on it, followed closely by Wu Ming's name, which could be considered a family of rebellion.
Then the question arises——
Who is the possessed person of [Evil Eye]?
