Taiqing Sword

Chapter 194, Pearl City

Shangguan Jinghong didn't speak, but quietly followed the carriage into the city. Originally, this Pearl City, which was surrounded by deep mountains and dense forests all year round, was no different from an ordinary village in Shangguan Jinghong's mind. After entering the city, I realized that I was wrong. This city is no less than the most glorious city.

In the ancient city in the evening, the setting sun sheds golden light on the earth, as if covering the ancient city with a layer of golden gauze like cicada wings, and it also casts a mysterious color on the ancient city. A quiet small river passes through the city. It was a beautiful view.

What a thousand-year-old city, Shangguan Jinghong couldn't help sighing in his heart.

A group of people walked in front of a main hall, and saw the three big characters of "City Lord's Mansion" from a long distance. After the guards who led the way for Lu Han and others arrived at the gate of the mansion, they left: "My lord, the younger ones can't enter and leave the City Lord's mansion casually. I've sent you here, you just go in."

Lu Han nodded, and immediately opened the door of the mansion, an old man pushed the door out: "Who are you looking for?"

Lu Han arched his hands and said: "Old man, we are from the Holy City, Mu's family, we are asking to see the Lord Mu."

The old man looked at the carriage parked outside the mansion: "Oh, it seems that the little princess has arrived, isn't it?"

"Exactly!"

"Since that's the case, everyone, even though I'm coming, Princess Lao must get off the carriage, and the carriage should be handed over to the people in the mansion."

Lu Han nodded, helped Mu Qiuer get out of the carriage, and followed the old man in. A middle-aged man was already waiting in the lobby. When Mu Qiuer saw this person, he was overjoyed and ran up and shouted: "Two uncle!"

The middle-aged man turned his head and looked at Mu Qiu'er with a smile on his face: "Little girl, do you still recognize Second Uncle? Oh, I've grown up so much, really, I haven't come to see Second Uncle for so long, have I?" Forget the second uncle."

Mu Qiu'er pursed her mouth: "Why, isn't he here to see Second Uncle?"

The middle-aged man sighed: "Hey, yours, father, are you okay?"

Mu Qiu'er stared straight at the middle-aged man with her eyes open, as if she was a little surprised by the middle-aged man's question. Sure enough, when the middle-aged man mentioned Mu Qiu'er's father, his expression was a little gloomy, but he didn't know why.

Mu Qiu'er seemed to be used to it a long time ago: "Second Uncle is really hypocritical. He obviously doesn't want to mention my father, but he still wants to ask."

"Hehehe, that's all, it's all over. If your father had nowhere to go, he wouldn't have looked for me, and he entrusted me with his jewel. It seems that the old man Pang Yuan did something to your father." The middle-aged man stands with his hands behind his back.

Hearing this, Mu Qiu'er finally couldn't help it anymore, her eyes turned red, it seemed that the grievances she had suffered along the way could only be vented at this time: "Second Uncle, you don't know, along the way, Pang Yuan tried to kill me several times. If it wasn't for Lu Han's desperate protection, and Brother Shangguan and Sister Xue helping me, Second Uncle might not be able to see me right now."

Hearing the words, the middle-aged man raised his head to look at Xue Xin, at first he thought it was Mu Qiuer's maid, but when he saw Shangguan startled, he was startled, how long this person has been here, it seems that if it wasn't for me It was as if this person had never appeared here before, such a terrifying cultivation base, the middle-aged man's own strength is good, so he was even more frightened in his heart, but the surprise was the surprise, and he walked forward with a smile: "Oh~ Xia Mu Qingyang, dare to ask Mr.'s name?"

"Shangguan shocked!"

"It turned out to be Mr. Shangguan. It's a pleasure to meet you. Qiu'er is really thanks to Mr. for helping me along the way. I thank Mu for being here." When Mu Qingyang spoke, his eyes were fixed on Shangguan Jinghong.

"City Master Mu is too polite, it's just a matter of little effort, besides, this little girl is so cute, she seems to have become a good friend with my wife."

Hearing this, Mu Qiu'er hugged Xue Xin even more intimately: "Yes, yes, Second Uncle, Sister Xue is my best friend now."

Mu Qingyang shook her head and smiled slightly, but said nothing.

At this moment, Shangguan Jinghong suddenly felt a sense of momentum, frowned, turned around and saw an old monk standing at the door, this is the first monk Shangguan Jinghong has seen since he became a demon A master who has some pressure on himself.

The monk naturally also noticed Shangguan Jinghong, and was even more shocked than Shangguan Jinghong: "This benefactor is really very advanced."

"To each other, you are also the strongest master I have ever seen."

The monk was also not modest, and said: "Is this old man ignorant? Since when have there been more masters like benefactors in the magic world?"

Shangguan Jinghong said: "Don't dare, I don't know how many masters there are in the magic way, I only know to walk my own way."

The monk originally wanted to find out the origin of Shangguan Jinghong through this sentence, but was choked back by this sentence: "It seems that Shijiu was killed, and Jiao Jiuniang suffered at the hands of the benefactor, so it is not wronged."

As soon as this remark came out, Shangguan Jinghong didn't care, but Lu Han's face changed drastically: "You, are you from Pang Yuan?" At the same time, he looked at Mu Qingyang as if asking, hoping to get an answer from Mu Qingyang.

Sure enough, Mu Qingyang explained: "Lu Han, you are thinking too much, and Pang Yuan still drives such an expert as Master Fudo."

The monk said the Buddha's name: "Amitabha, I just received some incense from Master Pang, so naturally I want to keep him safe. Of course, I know a thing or two about his subordinates, including Master Mu."

"Keep Pang Yuan safe? Coincidentally, I was trying to kill Pang Yuan. It seems that there will be a battle between you and me."

As soon as this remark came out, everyone present was frightened. The monk said: "It will definitely happen. Since ancient times, Buddha and devil have been incompatible."

"Hmph, for a villain like Pang Yuan, if you keep him safe, you don't know who is the Buddha and who is the devil?"

"Secular matters are not within my Buddha's control, and my Buddha does not care about secular matters."

"Hehehe, protecting him alone is equivalent to slaughtering ten thousand people, even though I, the devil, can't do such a shameless thing. I don't care about ordinary things? Why do I have to shout about my Buddha's mercy? My skin is thick enough." Shangguan Jinghong was a little scoffed.

The monk was already a little angry at this time, Mu Qingyang saw that the situation was not good, and quickly said: "You two, you two, let's talk about the future, today are all guests in my house."

Only then did the monk's anger subside a little, but Shangguan Jinghong didn't seem to want to show face, so he left the hall with Xue Xin alone.

After walking not far, Mu Qiu'er stopped him: "Brother Shangguan, don't leave. If you don't like that monk, you can stay in my courtyard. I haven't thanked you enough yet!"

Shangguan Jinghong looked at Mu Qiu'er's expectant eyes, then looked at Xue Xin, seeing that Xue Xin seemed to want to stay with Mu Qiu'er for a few more days, so he nodded and said, "Alright, let's bother you for a few days." .”
