After running away with a cub, I became the sickly villain Bai Yueguang

Chapter 36 "The Beautiful Girl in You Tan"

"Can I take a look at the map?" He stretched out his hand politely.

Ye Yan pondered for a while, then handed it over to the man.

The scenery unfolded the picture scroll at the same time, and he only took a few glances, and he analyzed the trend of the formation to the two of them sharply and clearly.

Unexpectedly, this man looked like an ignorant dude, but he actually had two skills. Ye Yan guessed that based on the strength of these two fellow brothers and sisters, they should at least be inner disciples of a certain elder of Sifangzong.

"Do you know where these eyes are?" He raised his eyebrows, playing tricks.

Ye Yan shook his head honestly.

Jing Jingtong smiled triumphantly, closed his fan and knocked on his palm, narrowed his eyes and looked at the City Lord's Mansion, "The eyes of the array are right in front of you."

*
The city lord is not a monk, just like the common people in the city, he just passed his [-]th birthday not long ago, but due to proper maintenance, his complexion and body look like he is in his early forties.

It's just that he has been so busy with the cholera in the city recently that his temples are quite grizzled, as if he has aged a few years in an instant.

When the three of Ye Yan arrived at the city lord's mansion, the city lord had just finished receiving the disciples of the Wujian Sect, and hurriedly asked his servants to arrange a place for them, and then brought a few people to the inner hall to be honored guests.

"Presumably, all the immortal elders have heard about the recent situation in the town. Every night, some people unexpectedly disappear, and their lives and deaths are still uncertain."

"In the beginning it was just one person, then two people, and then even a whole family disappeared overnight..."

The city lord sighed heavily, pinched the center of his brows with his big palms, his eyelids were blue and purple, and he was quite tired, "Even if I promulgated a curfew later, that evil spirit still refused to let go, and I implore all the elders to save the town and the people of Liming in this city what."

"Don't worry, the city lord. Naturally, we have traveled thousands of miles to come here. We will definitely investigate this matter thoroughly and give the people in the city a peaceful life!" The disciples of My Sword Sect are the most righteous and courageous. act wildly.

Jing Jingtong shook his folding fan, and said calmly, "I don't know how much information the city lord has, has anyone seen that evil appearance?"

The city lord shook his head and sighed, "The people who have seen the evil spirits probably have already..."

Everyone discussed in the lobby for a while, expressing their opinions one after another. Seeing that it was getting late, the city lord said, "Everyone has traveled a long distance, please rest first tonight. I have already prepared a grand dinner for you. We must not lose our duty as the host!"

The city lord spent a lot of money, the dinner was naturally rich, and there were countless delicacies from mountains and seas, but Ye Yan only moved his chopsticks twice, maybe the food was too greasy, she felt a little sick, so she hurriedly apologized and left.

The corridors of the City Lord's Mansion are too complicated, and Ye Yan had already left the table when she came back. She wanted to go back to find her own room, but accidentally broke into an unknown backyard.

Numerous unnamed flowers and plants are carefully planted on both sides of the courtyard, blooming in the autumn. Groups of dark green vines climb to the top of the wall like poisonous snakes, like pairs of twisted ghost hands, jumping over the fence and looking into the inner room .

How to describe it?
It is beautiful and vibrant, but also has a bit of indescribable treachery.

The huge courtyard didn't have a single maidservant, it was too deserted and desolate, the stone slabs under the feet had accumulated several layers of dust, and the withered yellow leaves were rustling and falling.

It seems to have been abandoned by the owner.

Ye Yan was a little distracted, and just about to lift her foot, there was a sudden sound of hurried footsteps behind her.

She reached out and took out a low-grade concealment talisman, dodged and hid in the nearby bush.

The person who came was actually the city lord.

Before his feet stepped into the courtyard, he cautiously felt the fluctuations in the surrounding atmosphere, and said in a cold voice, "Who?!"

The city lord's eyes were not as kind as before, and his gloomy voice swept across the surroundings if it had any substance.

"Ahem." Ye Yan walked out from behind the fallen leaves, the face of the city lord suddenly changed, and he instantly returned to the amiable and pleasant face when he first met. Naturally, she did not miss this change in his expression.

"Well, I ate too much just now, and I have a little indigestion, so I walked around and came here by accident." She rubbed her stomach, her face was still pale and haggard.

"Haha, the immortal elders don't eat this ordinary food. I will ask the servants to send some radish seeds later." The city lord stroked his beard and smiled.

"Then I'll have to work." Ye Yan looked at the surrounding courtyards, seemingly curious, and muttered inadvertently, "The courtyard is so bleak, and the dust on the floor is not cleaned, probably these servants are lazy."

"Hey, friend Xian doesn't know something, this is my wife's residence, my wife..."

The city lord seemed to have something difficult to say, "My wife is usually crazy, and she is most afraid of being disturbed by strangers, so on weekdays I strictly forbid those maids and servants to approach, for fear of disturbing my wife."

"Crazy?"

Ye Yan's eyes looked through the window lattice concealed by vines, and the night was thick. She vaguely saw the dim yellow candlelight rising in the back room, and the woman's slim and attractive figure was looming.

However, the city lord has stopped talking.

Ye Yan also had no choice but to resign.

Before leaving, he looked around the courtyard without any trace.

Under the leadership of the servants, Ye Yan returned to her room, but after a while, a servant brought radish seeds, oil soup and some snacks for supper, but she didn't move a single bite.

After going to bed, she pulled down the veil immediately, and took out the low-grade concealment talisman that had spontaneously ignited in her palm.

The low-grade concealment talisman can not only isolate the foundation-building stage and below from the spiritual detection of monks, but also has a magical effect comparable to invisibility in front of ordinary mortals. However, this city lord claims to be a mortal, but it has no effect at all.

interesting.

Ye Yan thought of her eyes again, her eyes were deep and cold, she immediately took out the jade plate from the Qiankun bag, stuffed it with a middle-grade spirit stone and swiped it twice, a video was projected on the screen.

She had been careful before, and stuffed a photo array in the bushes.

The array plate and the jade plate have already been linked by her spiritual consciousness.

Half an hour later, a figure appeared on the jade disc video.

The city lord staggered out of the courtyard, staggering, almost falling.

That appearance of kidney deficiency that has been drained of energy is not like going to see the wife, but like a tryst with a beautiful female ghost.

Before the city lord took two steps, the shadows in the bushes on both sides seemed to move. He turned around and left the monitoring range of the photo array.

This city lord is definitely weird, and he's hiding things quite deeply.

Feng Jingtong had already calculated that the eye of the Dementor Array was in the City Lord's Mansion, and the most critical part of the array eye, which was the source of the array that provided the source of power, was hidden somewhere in the City Lord's Mansion.

If her guess is correct, that courtyard is the key to breaking the secret.

She went to the courtyard again in the middle of the night.

There was a faint singing voice in my ears, as if a woman was singing softly.

Curly and tactful, like weeping like complaining, like a sea monster on the reef, it is so charming that people can't extricate themselves.

It is now the middle of the night.

The candles in the window sills were still burning.

The woman's graceful figure is looming, she seems to be changing clothes, her long hair is pouring down like a waterfall, covering the beautiful spring, but in the blink of an eye, there is no figure in the window again, it is empty, and the candlelight is gone. It has long been extinguished, and the house is completely dark.

Ye Yan stabilized his mind and pushed the door, but was blocked by an invisible barrier.

And this... is not a spiritual barrier!
"I wanted to stay with you for a few more days. Since you found out, I'll die!" A gloomy breath suddenly came from behind, and she immediately drew her sword to block it.
