Sword Knocks The Gates of Heavens

Chapter 499 The scorching sun

The temperature difference between day and night in Hongli City is very large, the morning is very short, the sun just climbed the city wall, the temperature in the city boiled .

The scorching sun scorched the houses, roads and pedestrians in the city.

Although it was still early, as shops opened their doors to welcome customers, the number of pedestrians on the road gradually increased.

“Have you heard? Ouye’s house was set on fire yesterday, and it was burnt clean!”

“I knew it last night, and it can be done from afar. I saw the fire.”

In front of a restaurant that sells breakfast, a table of two merchants chatted while eating bean curd in bowls.

“The Ou Ye family thought about how beautiful it was back then. Even people from Yanzhou Prefecture had to be courteous by three points. How did he think that in just ten years, it has become this scene.”

someone sighed.

“Every good thing these Aristocratic Family clansmen do, what do you pity them for? If the Xianmeng hadn’t killed so many Aristocratic Family clan clansmen and sects, we loose cultivators would be afraid of being suppressed by them. There will never be a day to come.”

“Just say it casually, how can I pity them? It’s just a pity that the Ouye family’s craftsmanship of forging weapons, for cultivators, it is the Divine of Genuine. Weapon.”

“You think the Xianmeng can’t think of this? The Ouye family’s secret technique of forging weapons, the Xianmeng naturally sent someone to take it away.”

” According to what you said, the fire yesterday was… the people from the Iron Fort…”

“Eat your bean curd well, everyone knows this, things are in the hands of the Xianmeng, It’s better than the Ouye family’s exclusive use, right? The Immortal Alliance is different from them. It is on the side of us loose cultivators and ordinary people.”

“It’s true, after the Immortal Alliance, we These ordinary people, don’t have to look at those Aristocratic Family sect disciples anymore.”

After the two chatted about the sect and the Xianmeng for a while, the topic suddenly changed.

“By the way, in the past few days, a strange thing happened at the Iron Fort. I don’t know if you have heard of it.”

“I’ve been busy sorting out the past few days. The goods shipped to the city have never been there, what’s wrong?”

“Three days ago, the City Lord killed a group of Autum Water remnants and hung their heads in the city of Iron Fortress. On the wall.”

“Hongli City has killed several thousand or hundreds of Autum Water remnants over the years. What’s so strange about this?”

“It’s odd. Qi Zai, from that day on, a child who appeared out of nowhere has been kneeling on the square in front of the iron fortress, not eating or not eating for three days and three nights, motionless.”

“Could it be, Are there any relatives of this child in this batch of Autum Water remnants?”

“But the Iron Fortress guards didn’t come out to drive them away, let alone arrest them.”

“Then you I don’t get it.”

“How?”

“City Lord is killing the chicken to warn the monkey, rather than risk a bad reputation by killing one A child who has no power to hold a chicken, might as well let him kneel under the city to deter those in the city who dare to be with Autum Water. In recent years, the Dead Head League has been rampant in ten states, and I am afraid that many people in Hongli City are also bewitched by it. , City Lord just uses this to warn those people, one move, two gains.”

“In this way, we City Lord are really brilliant.”

“You and I As a commoner, arguing about this is useless, why don’t we make a bet, whether this child can survive today, if he can survive today, brother’s drink money for this month, I will pay!”

“No, no, this kid has been exposed to the sun for three days. No matter how you look at it, he can’t survive today. I will lose if I bet this way.”

“I’ll bet with the two of you.”

But at this time, a tall man in a Confucian shirt walked to the table of the two.

“If the child can’t make it through today, this Spirit Stone will belong to the two of you. If you can make it through today, how about you two treat me to a bowl of lotus seed porridge?”

The man held a roast goose wrapped in oiled paper in one hand and a Spirit Stone in the other and smiled at the two of them.

Or maybe the man appeared too abruptly, and the two who had been chatting before were stunned for a while.

The man holding the roast goose didn’t say a word, just laughed, then took the roast goose and left, and the direction he left was the Iron Fort.

“What, who is going to bet with you?”

“Where are the strangers who dare to talk to us like this, we will go to City Lord’s Mansion to report on him later, Maybe I can get some money.”

“Big brother is right, I will draw a portrait of this man right away, and I will send it to City Lord’s Mansion later.”

When the man with the roast goose disappeared into the street, the two suddenly yelled at each other, and they couldn’t help but get excited when they thought that they might be able to exchange some reward money.

……

In the square in front of the Iron Fort of Hongli City, a group of people surrounded the city and looked at a little boy in the center of the square as if they were watching a monkey show.

This boy is none other than Tang Big Dipper

At this time, the sun is getting hot and scorching, and the air is roasted so that there is no moisture, and Tang Big Dipper’s sweat drips onto the bluestone slab The ground was immediately dried by the sun, the chapped lips opened and closed slightly, and the eyes without any luster looked up at the direction of the Iron Fort from time to time.

He just knelt here for three days and three nights.

Some people think very simply, thinking that this Don Big Dipper is a fool, and kneels here only when he sees the murder and is stimulated.

Some people think very complicatedly, because the head hanging on the iron fort belongs to the Autum Water party, so the child kneeling here is very likely to have something to do with the Autum Water party.

In fact, this child may be the bait that the Guillotine League deliberately placed here.

No matter how complicated or simple they think, this is undoubtedly a very interesting thing in the eyes of some people in Hongli City who like to watch the excitement.

So many people are waiting for this child to fall. As long as he falls, all kinds of guesses will come to fruition.

But what they don’t know is, Don Big Dipper will kneel here, just the instinct of a son after losing his father.

After seeing his father die under the Iron Fort, he has two choices, one is to endure the humiliation and leave here, the other is to risk his life and rush to the Iron Fort to take revenge, even in the end. To die in the Iron Fort is considered a death well deserved.

His father is the only motivation for him to survive, Tang Big Dipper has no reason to steal his life, so he will not choose him first.

As for the second method, he couldn’t choose, because as long as he rushed over, the Ou Ye family would be implicated for taking him in.

He didn’t want to run away and couldn’t take revenge, so he could only kneel here.

“Dad, I’m coming to see you soon.”

Don Big Dipper’s lips parted silently.

At this point, his mouth was as dry as a red-hot soldering iron. If it wasn’t for his Divine Soul Power, he would have fainted from the sun on the first day.

“I don’t know what the City Lord who lives in the iron fort looks like. If he can treat other people’s life like a mustard, he must have a ferocious face.”

he muttered like a flashback.

“Who? Don’t go there!”

“Hey, that young man, come back soon!”

“You’re going to die!”

Just as Tang Big Dipper was thinking about it in the heart, the crowd not far behind him suddenly let out an exclamation.

Don Big Dipper instinctively glanced back.

I saw a young man wearing an azure Confucian shirt, holding a paper umbrella in one hand and an oil-paper bag in the other, walking out of the crowd, and then walking through the empty square, little by little walked towards him.

Although Tang Big Dipper’s consciousness was a little sluggish at this time, he still recognized the silhouette after all.

Compared with teenagers of the same age, Tang Big Dipper’s temperament is much firmer. In the past few days, whether it was the pain of bereavement of his father or the burning sun on his head, his firm temperament never weakened in the slightest. .

But at this moment, when he saw that silhouette, for some reason, tears flowed from his face that had no expression.
