Chapter 33 The Hall Master’s Thousand Faces
Sun Youshan didn't go into details. Most of the people who went to Tianying City were ghosts. Since it is nonsense, why should you really listen to it?
He narrowed his eyes, shook the meat pie in his hand, and threw it behind him.
Only then did Zhou Zhao realize that there was an old man as thin as a monkey hiding in the shadow diagonally behind him. The old man jumped out instantly, almost in the blink of an eye, like a wild dog that had smelled meat and bones. After a while, he bit into the piece of meat pie and then retreated into the shadow.
Anyone with poor eyesight would just think that a huge tongue stuck out and rolled up the meat pie.
But Zhou Zhao saw that the ten nails of the thin old man were half a finger long, extremely sharp, and shone with a cold metallic luster.
Sun Youshan saw Zhou Zhao's expression change and his expression softened a lot, "Everyone, be more alert. We will return to Tianying as soon as the rain stops."
The ruined temple suddenly became quiet.
Zhou Zhao did not continue to speak. Even his previous arrogant attitude seemed to have calmed down a bit, and he looked a bit like a normal little girl.
Sun Youshan felt relieved, closed his eyes and fell asleep.
The rain didn't last long, it only fell for half an hour and then stopped.
The people from Tiandou Village soon left, and only Zhou Zhao and Liu Huang were left in the ruined temple.
Zhou Zhao pricked up his ears and listened to the noise. He made sure that there were no hiding people around. He could only vaguely hear the howling of wolves and tigers in the nearby mountains and forests, and then he breathed a sigh of relief.
She stretched out her fingers, flicked Liu Huang's bamboo hat, and took off the wet hair tie on her head.
"Ahuang, if you go out without permission, do you know that you will get into trouble?"
Zhou Zhao said, his tone was a bit harsh. Because she wanted to have a force in Tianying City before the end of July, she rushed here almost non-stop. The original plan was to meet Zhao Yizhou for a while before entering Dai County, and then inquire about the news about Tianying City, so that he could come back well prepared.
Unexpectedly, just after he entered the throne, he received a letter from Zhang Ran, saying that Liu Huang left Beijing privately and was afraid that he would go straight to Tianying.
She immediately changed her plan and gave chase. Before she could even make any disguise, she met Sun Youshan from Tiandou Village in Tianying City.
Liu Huang is different from him, he is a prince.
Originally, His Majesty was struck to death by a lightning bolt from the sky, but if he does it again... His Majesty is afraid that in a sudden change, he will strike everyone to death.
Tianying City is extremely dangerous, and Liu Huang has a pure heart, how can she let him take risks?
Liu Huang raised his head, his eyes sparkling, "Wherever you go, I will go. If those things could be exchanged for him, I would rather just be a caregiver from now on. If he is gone, I will be your brother."< br>
"Now that Sun Youshan has seen me, and I left suddenly, and he sees you someday, how can you justify it?"
Zhou Zhao looked at Liu Huang and his eyes turned red. He didn't know whether he was moved or angry.
She snorted, reached out and gently touched the two black and white hair ribbons, carefully put them into her arms, then took out a piece of white linen and tied her hair up.
"Ahuang knows how to use tricks. Although you and I are good at martial arts, there are so many masters in Tianying City, so don't be careless."
Liu Huang was born with supernatural powers, but because he was different from ordinary people since he was a child, he did not practice properly with the masters. Fighting relied on the two-character formula "Strength".
As the saying goes, defeating ten groups with one force, there is no rules and all relies on strength.
"Are your wounds feeling better? I have good medicine for golden sores here. You didn't pick up any tips along the way, and you didn't stay in a hotel. You just walked to uninhabited hills. Just now, you wanted to pick ten of them. Li Shen knew , it’s time to scold you.”
Zhang Ran's biography to her stated that Liu Huang was so angry that His Majesty was so angry that he gave Liu Huang a good beating because he was posing as a widow to perform an autopsy. He ran out again before his wounds healed.
Liu Huang hummed softly: "I'm fine."
Zhou Zhao was slightly relieved when he saw that he didn't seem to be lying.
The two of them rested for a night in the ruined temple, and went straight to Tianying City early the next morning.
Unlike the imaginary cottage, Tianying City is really a city. When the sun rose, the gatekeeper opened the door yawning and cursing, and the farmers lined up with their burdens waiting for someone to enter the city.
Tianying City has four gates in the southeast, northwest and northwest, each named after the four divine beasts.
Zhou Zhao and Liu Huang chose the Xuanwu Gate in the north. As soon as they entered the door, a woman in commoner clothes came over and said, "You two are coming back to Tianying City, right? Do you need a place to live? It's not that I, Grandma Zhang, am bragging. You can't find my home in this city." Such a cheap and safe place to stay.”
"Do you know the Twelve Outer Walls in Tianying City? This Tianying Mountain is the inner city and ordinary people like us are not allowed to go there, but the outer city at the foot of the mountain is covered by the Twelve Outer Walls. This is the North Gate. The territory of Xuanwu Hall”
"My son is from Xuanwu Hall and Tiandou Hall."
The woman was a genius. She saw that Zhou Zhao was the one who made the decision among the two, and gave her a look that you know without saying a word.

She was about to say a few more words, but her expression changed, and she suddenly lowered her head and backed away to the side of the road. Seeing that Zhou Zhao was not moving, the woman reached out and pulled her, and lowered her voice and said, "Little Girl, don’t raise your head, come here quickly, the people from Nei Qitang are here.”
Hearing this, Zhou Zhao pulled Liu Huang and retreated to the roadside with the woman.
She raised her eyes and looked over, only to see a funeral procession going from inside the city to the outside of the city. This group of people was so powerful that it was almost impossible to see the end at a glance.
Walking in front of the coffin and holding a tablet was a beautiful woman with scarlet eyes from crying. Beside her, there were two children on the left and right. The older one is a girl, about eight or nine years old, and the younger one is only five or six years old, and she walks a little unsteadily.
Zhou Zhao took a closer look and saw the words "Chen Qifu, Master of Yaoguang Hall" written on the tablet.
Chen Qifu?
Wasn't Chen Qifu kidnapped from Chang'an City by Zhu Li and sent back to Tianying City?
Chen Qixu is dead?
Then whether Zhu Li or Qian Mian, would he be in the funeral procession?
Zhou Zhao thought, raising his head slightly and looking behind the coffin.
Behind the dark coffin, there was a black horse, and a young man sitting on the horse.
He was very tall and dressed in white. He did not have a sword on his waist, but he had a jade flute.
The upper half of his face was covered by a mask engraved with unknown patterns. As if he felt something strange, he looked in the direction of Zhou Zhao.
Zhou Zhao lowered her head suddenly, her fingertips trembling slightly.
The masked man under Chen Qixu can be recognized at a glance. According to Zhang Ran's description, this man is most likely to have a thousand faces.
So Qianmian, could it be the Su Changying she was looking for?
She thought she would meet Qian Mian soon, but she didn't expect that she would meet someone so soon after entering Tianying City.
Zhou Zhao felt that the surroundings suddenly became silent, and she could almost only hear her own heartbeat.
"Girl, little girl! Are you scared? That is the new leader of Yaoguang Hall. Just the day before yesterday, he bloodbathed Yaoguang and defeated all the elders... That is someone we cannot afford to offend."
"How about it? Grandma's house is in that alley. Come with me!"
