Demon King's Wife

Chapter 426 The Power of the Fence
Zi Mo took Mu Ruoxin to his home that had been seized by Qian Zihao. Just as Zi Mo guessed, a simple bamboo house was never seen by Qian's family, so no one cared about it, and it was always a mess. There are not many damaged things, and the overall structure of the bamboo house is fine, and it can be lived in after a simple tidying up.

When Mu Ruoxin walked into the courtyard of the bamboo house, he took a brief look at the environment here, and his first feeling was that this place was not simple, it was not an ordinary bamboo house.

According to what Zimo said, she and her mother have lived together here for decades. This bamboo house has not been renovated, and it is still as solid as a stone after decades, even much stronger than the houses of those big families. There is no slight decay, but it looks old, and people who are not careful can't find this clue at all.

Logically speaking, this is impossible. Unless there are other reasons, it is impossible for this bamboo house to remain unchanged for decades.

Yan Liheng also noticed the specialness of this bamboo house, and told Mu Ruoxin privately about his discovery when Zimo was cleaning up the house.

"Ruoxin, there are invisible formations on the front, back, left and right sides of this house. It looks like an ordinary bamboo house on the surface. Once the root is touched, the magic circle here will be touched, and there will only be a dead end."

"Invisible formation, what kind of formation is this?"

"It's a magic circle that protects the foundation. This magic circle is different from other magic circles. It doesn't have any effect on weekdays. Once it touches something that can't be moved here, this magic circle will be activated immediately. This kind of magic circle The magic circle is very strange, and the person who puts it up must have a certain level of cultivation to be able to put it out. Before I got the inheritance from Senior Xiuyun, I couldn't afford to set up such a magic circle. It's because I got the inheritance from Senior Xiuyun , so I can feel the existence of this invisible formation."

"In this way, few people in the entire Xuanling world can detect this invisible formation."

"If it was before, no one would know. If my guess is correct, this formation was set up by senior Xiuyun."

"Ah... no wonder no one has discovered the strangeness of this bamboo house for so many years. But it's wrong! Senior Xiuyun has been dead for millions of years, but Zimo said that she and her mother came to live in this house more than ten years ago No matter how you calculate it, how can senior Xiuyun and Zimo's mother and daughter have any relationship with each other after several million years?"

"I don't know about this. I can feel that the aura here is very similar to that of Senior Xiuyun, and it is even very likely that they are the same."

"It seems that Zi Mo must have something to do with Senior Xiu Yun, as for what kind of relationship, I'm afraid it's hard to know." Mu Ruoxin guessed the relationship between Zi Mo and Xiu Yun, but every guess was wrong.

Father and daughter... Impossible, Xiu Yun has been dead for millions of years, Zi Mo looks like he is only 20 years old at most, the age difference between the two is too far.

Master and apprentice... Impossible, Xiuyun has been dead for so long, how could he accept disciples?

Could it be that Zimo's mother has something to do with Xiuyun?
But it is impossible to calculate in terms of time.Xiuyun was seriously injured after the battle with the strong men of the five clans, and his life is not long. There is absolutely no time to accept apprentices, let alone have time to fall in love and have children.

The origin of Zi Mo seems to be an unsolvable mystery.

Zi Mo simply tidied up the house and came over to invite Mu Ruoxin and Yan Liheng to sit in. She entertained them very warmly. Because of the conditions, she was a little embarrassed. The opened bamboo is used as a cup.

"The two benefactors live in a simple and shabby place, so I really don't have anything to entertain. I just made some tea casually and asked the two benefactors to make up for it. I will prepare some daily necessities and get some food later."

"Zi Mo, you don't have to worry about it. I carry all the necessities of life with me, and I can just take them out when I need them. I have some questions to ask you. Why don't you sit with us for a while?" Mu Ruoxin pulled He held Zi Mo's hand and asked her to sit down, both in attitude and words were very friendly.

Zi Mo was very straightforward and sat down straight away, enjoying chatting with Mu Ruoxin very much, "Benefactor, if you have any questions, just ask, and I will definitely answer if I know."

"You don't need to call me a benefactor. If you don't dislike it, just call me sister."

"Is this... really okay?" Zi Mo was a little flattered, not because she felt that calling Mu Ruoxin "sister" was a disadvantage, but because she felt that she had gained a rare friendship.Such a good thing came too suddenly, and she was very afraid that it was just a dream, and when she woke up, there would be nothing left, and she was still alone.

"Of course, I appreciate your kindness and loyalty along the way. I wish I had a good sister like you! I look older than you, so it shouldn't be an exaggeration to be your sister, right? "Mu Ruoxin is actually talking about her age on the surface, she really does look older than Zi Mo, and Zi Mo looks like a little girl who has just learned about human affairs.

Mu Ruoxin doesn't know, but Zimo knows that she is actually much older than Mu Ruoxin, but she has less knowledge and experience than Mu Ruoxin, so it's not an exaggeration to call her sister.

"elder sister……"

"Good sister, just say 'sister' to you, sister, I will definitely cover you in the future. Sister Zimo, I have a few questions here, if you feel embarrassed, you can not answer."

"Sister, just ask, I have nothing to answer here."

"Well, I'll ask directly. When did your mother come to live in Yinducheng?"

"I'm not quite sure about this. From what my mother said on weekdays, I can vaguely guess that my mother came to this place a long, long time ago, and there was no Yindu City at that time, and it didn't matter. There are five great spirit mountains, not to mention the Heavenly Star Gate. The five great spirit mountains were later divided by the powerhouses of the mysterious spirit world, and I also know that there is a secret hidden in each spirit mountain, but I don’t know what the secret is.” Zi Mo answered truthfully, without any concealment, she was pure and innocent like a piece of white paper, exuding a unique aura from her body.

Mu Ruoxin was surprised when she heard Zi Mo's answer, "A long time ago, how long did your mother live?"

"I don't know much about this. My mother never told me this. Since I was sensible, my mother has always been depressed, as if she was missing someone, and sometimes she would cry secretly. Once I asked my mother why Crying, my mother just told me that no matter what happens in the future, I must live well, and only by living well can I have the opportunity to find and fight for my own happiness."

"Your mother is really mysterious enough. So is your mother related to Xiuyun?"

"I don't know. I once overheard my mother talking to herself about Xiuyun. As for who this person is, no matter how I ask my mother, she won't tell me, and she won't even tell me who my father is. , she just wants me to live happily."

"Then have you ever suspected that your father is Xiuyun?"

"I..." Zi Mo showed a sad look on his face, and lowered his head slightly, it was a bit difficult to answer this question.

Seeing Zi Mo showing such an expression, Mu Ruoxin stopped embarrassing her, "Don't be sad, I'm just asking casually, you don't need to answer."

"I'm not sad, it's just that every time I hear the name Xiuyun, I feel so strange. In fact, I once doubted whether my father is Xiuyun, because my mother often mentions this person to herself. A person who is so worried about a woman must be her most beloved person. This person is most likely to be my father. But my mother never answered me for sure, and I am not sure whether Xiuyun is my father. Although I have doubts , but not sure."

"Why doesn't your mother tell you who your biological father is?"

"I don't know. At the beginning, I never once asked my mother who my father was. Sometimes my mother was silent, and sometimes she shed tears, and even felt sad. I couldn't bear it. Slowly, I couldn't I asked. As long as my mother wants me to live happily and happily, I have to work hard, and I don’t have to worry about other things. Over the years, I have been doing what my mother said, live happily, and live hard. But since I rejected Young Master Qian, my life has changed. Great changes have taken place. Friends around me are alienating me one by one. Even when I go to the street to buy things, those vendors are unwilling to sell them to me. There was a time when I was so hungry that I could only dig Bamboo shoots to eat. Fortunately, there are enough bamboo shoots here, otherwise I will really starve to death. My mother said that life is a collection of ups and downs. Difficulties and setbacks are inevitable. Face it bravely and don’t blame others. Giving up on one's own life." Speaking of his miserable experience, Zi Mo didn't complain, but faced it with a normal heart.

After hearing Zi Mo's words, Mu Ruoxin admired Zi Mo even more, and admired Zi Mo from the bottom of her heart. I'm afraid that even she would not be able to reach Zi Mo's level.

"Good sister, if you have nowhere to go in the future, you can follow us, but if you have a better place, my sister will definitely bless you."

"Really? Can I really follow you?"

"Of course! In fact, there are quite a few people around me, and they are all handsome guys. If you like any one, just tell me, sister, I will help you as a matchmaker."

"Ah... elder sister, what are you talking about?" Zi Mo is already a person who understands the relationship between men and women, but it doesn't involve much, Mu Ruoxin said it so bluntly, her face turned red, she was extremely embarrassed up.

"Don't you understand what I said? Let me tell you, the handsome guys around me are all first-class good men. It's hard to find a good man like them in the world. Of course, the best one I have already contracted it, and the others... are actually not bad. Beauty is in the eye of the beholder, and maybe others will be the best in your eyes."

"Sister, I won't tell you anymore, you only talk about these things."

"Yo... Sister Zimo is blushing! Did she have a crush?"

"No way, sister, don't talk nonsense."

"Okay, okay, big sister, don't talk nonsense, I will introduce those guys to you slowly later. I also have a son, a adopted son, they..." Mu Ruoxin was about to introduce his son and adopted son to Zi Mo recognized him, and suddenly there was a loud roar outside.

In the bamboo forest outside the bamboo house, a lot of people came, and everywhere they went, they cut down the tall bamboo trees, and their behavior was extremely bad.

The leader of these people is a middle-aged man, slightly fat, with a big belly, a palm-sized golden abacus hanging around his neck, and a golden silkworm dress, obviously a rich man.

This man is Qian Dafu, the father of Qian Zihao.

When Qian Dafu learned that his son had been castrated, he was so angry that he took all the masters of the Qian family to take revenge.

Qian Zihao is the only son of Qian Zihao, the only seedling of the Qian family, and now his lifeline has been cut off. This is simply asking them to cut off their sons and grandchildren. How can they not avenge such a great enmity?

"Is that ugly girl named Zi Mo living here? My master will definitely strip her alive today and let her be buried with my son's lifeblood."

"Yes master, that girl named Zi Mo lives here. According to the reports from his subordinates, the two people brought back by Zi Mo came to the bamboo house in the bamboo forest with her, and they are probably in the bamboo house at this time."

"No matter where she is, even in the remotest corners of the world, I will find her and tear her into pieces. And the two people she brought back, I will not let go of any of them."

"But master, according to the young master's attendants, these two have a lot of background, it seems to be..."

"No matter what their background is, I will never let anyone who makes my family lose their sons and grandchildren. Cut down trees, burn down houses, and kill people when they see people."

"Yes……"

With the words of Qian Dafu, the morale of the people who came from the Qian family soared, and they felled wantonly in the bamboo forest, not letting even a blade of grass be spared. You can make more contributions.

Not long after, the people brought by Qian Dafu came to the outside of the bamboo house, surrounded the bamboo house, and shouted at the people inside.

"Listen to the people inside, come out and die quickly, otherwise a fire will burn this place to ashes."

"Come out, come out quickly and die."

It was almost the same words back and forth, but Zi Mo was very anxious and panicked when he heard it.

"Oops, no good, Qian Dafu dispatched all the masters, it must be to avenge Qian Zihao. Sister, you guys leave quickly through the back door, maybe there is still time."

"Is the master of Qianjia very good?" Mu Ruoxin sat still, drinking tea leisurely, disapproving.

She could already feel the aura of those people outside, and she already knew the strength of these people very well. Most of them were small characters, so she was not afraid of them.

Even the guards around Qian Zihao are so poor, how can the Qian family have any real masters?Those so-called masters are probably cheating and cheating. When it comes to using swords and swords, they are useless.

"I don't know how powerful the Qian family's masters are, but I heard that there are many masters in the Qian family. The Qian family is the richest man in Yindu City, and he makes many good friends, especially people in the Jianghu. As soon as the Qianjia Order is issued, these people will come out to do things for the Qianjia. My mother once said that you should not think too highly of yourself. The strength is very strong, but for the sake of safety, it is better to be careful."

Mu Ruoxin didn't pay attention to the people from the Qian family at first, but after hearing what Zi Mo said, even if the people from the Qian family are poor and rich, she has to take it to heart.

"Silly sister, so many people have come to Qian's family, do you think you can get out through the back door? We are surrounded now, and there is no other way to survive except to break out of the encirclement."

"What should I do? It's all my fault, and it hurts you."

"Again, it's nonsense, it's not sure who is involved! Don't say such things in the future, my sister doesn't like to hear them. I won't take Qianjia lightly, so you don't have to worry. If we really can't beat it, we can still slip away. The whole For the tricks in the Xuanling Realm, I would say it is second, no one dares to say it is the first."

"Ah..." That's right, with the fire phoenix beast around, it's not difficult to slip away.

When Mu Ruoxin was talking with Zimo, Yan Liheng had already drank three cups of tea, and every time he drank a cup, he sneered inwardly, even more ignorant of the rabble outside than Mu Ruoxin.

He had already let the Qian family go, since they wanted to die, he had no choice but to let them go.

The subordinates of the Qian family shouted outside for a long time, but the people inside still couldn't come out, but they didn't dare to attack easily. After all, there were two very powerful people inside, so they had to ask Qian Dafu for instructions first.

"Master, the people inside can't come out!"

"Why don't we just set the place on fire and see if they can come out?"

"Okay, set it on fire." Qian Dafu agreed to the proposal and ordered someone to set it on fire.

Not long after, the yard outside the bamboo house caught fire.

"Oops, they set fire to it." Seeing the flames, Zi Mo was so anxious that he walked around the room and wanted to go out to save lives, but was stopped by Mu Ruoxin.

"Sister Zimo, if you go out now, not only will you not be able to put out the fire, you may even burn yourself to death."

"But if we don't put out the fire, we will be burned to death!"

"Not necessarily."

"what?"

"After burning for so long, don't you notice something strange?"

"What's the difference?" Zi Mo really didn't know what was the difference, looking out the window, he saw that the fire was still raging outside, it was burning extremely vigorously, the fire was soaring into the sky, and it was about to burn into the courtyard.

None of those fires seemed to have reached the yard, though.

"Hey, what's going on here?" Zi Mo observed for a while, and found something strange, and was particularly surprised and puzzled.

With the bamboo house as the center, the outside yard was surrounded by bamboo fences. The bamboo fence surrounded the bamboo house. The fire was burning outside the fence. After burning for a long time, nothing happened to the fence.

It stands to reason that the fence should have been burned to ashes long ago, but they are all right, and they also blocked the huge fire outside and protected the bamboo house in the middle.

"What's going on here? Why can't the fire burn into the fence? Sister, did you and brother-in-law block the fire?" The first possibility Zi Mo thought of was that Mu Ruoxin and Yan Liheng blocked the fire. .

She has seen the abilities of the two benefactors, it is not impossible to block these fires.

"Zi Mo, when did you see us fight?"

"Ah... it wasn't you who kept the fire out, who was that?"

"Maybe it's the bamboos."

"Those bamboos, how is this possible?" Zi Mo couldn't imagine that those bamboos were indeed keeping the fire out, and she couldn't even imagine that this seemingly simple bamboo house actually hides a huge mystery, but this mystery is very simple. It's hard to know.

The fire outside was still burning, burning all the things that could be burned around the fence until there was nothing to burn, and then gradually extinguished, but the strange thing was that those fences were safe and sound, not even a little sawdust was burned.

Seeing this strange thing, everyone in the Qian family was shocked, but they didn't suspect it was because of the bamboo, but thought it was man-made, the two people brought by Zimo.

Thinking of this, the people of the Qian family dared not hide any more, and spoke out some unclear things.

"Master, in fact, the person who made the young master like that is from the Demon City. There have been a lot of rumors about this couple recently. I heard that they are not easy to mess with. They just wiped out the Shi family in Changri City. Now in our hidden capital city, I'm afraid..."

"You mean they will destroy my Qian family?" Of course Qian Dafu was afraid in his heart, but when he thought of Qian's family cutting off his children and grandchildren, the resentment in his heart was so strong that it overwhelmed his reason. No matter what the devil city, the devil king, he only wanted to avenge his son. He came down and said: "Continue to burn it for me, put tung oil on it, I want to see how capable they are?"

So the fire started again, much more ferocious than the previous one.

But no matter how fierce the fire was, it still couldn't burn down the bamboo fences surrounding the yard.

At this time, outside the fence was a sea of ​​hellfire, but inside it was as usual, not a single flower or grass was harmed in the slightest.

The power of this kind of fence made Zi Mo really puzzled, for some reason.
