Chapter 171: Weird Qingzhou Mansion

"Trap?" Suning asked back. "Yes, it's a trap. At first, the state government tempted a large number of monks to go with a high amount of compensation, but I didn't expect that the first batch of more than a hundred monks who entered for three months disappeared silently. !"
"Disappeared?" Suning frowned and said. "Yes, disappearing is like evaporating from the world. Since they entered the state capital, they have never come out again. Then they called again. Everyone was puzzled that not many people dared to go. Until a year ago, a large number of monks in the state capital Started to catch cultivators on the street and take them away with various unreasonable charges."
"Everyone is in danger for a while, and many of my friends around me have been arrested. I have no choice but to escape from Qingzhou Mansion and settle in this area to hijack high-ranking officials." Cao Shuang said.
"You mean what happened in Qingzhou Mansion, and why did you want to kidnap high-ranking officials?" Suning asked suspiciously. "It must be them. Officials colluded to persecute us casual cultivators, and my seniors and juniors were killed by them!" Cao Shuang gritted his teeth.
"Is there any more detailed information, what is Qingzhou Mansion like recently?" Suning asked. "I heard from the monks who recently escaped from there that the entire Qingzhou Mansion is now like a ghost town. Recently, as long as people passing by there are basically arrested, Qingzhou Mansion has begun to have a large number of civilians pouring out, many people It is said that you can hear ghosts and monsters at night, which is really terrifying."
When Suning and others heard this, they couldn't help thinking. "Where is King Huai, he didn't even react at all when something like this happened in Qingzhou Mansion under his rule?" Chu Xiao asked, who had not spoken. "Huh, the king, all the eight achievements of all this is the made a ghost!" Cao Shuang said angrily.
Qingzhou Mansion can be regarded as a relatively prosperous city in the entire Chu Dynasty. Although it is not as good as the imperial capital and Yunguicheng, it is still one of the largest cities. The owner of this city is Wang Huai, and the current Wang Huai is The same generation as Chu Xiao, who is only 30 years old this year, although Qingzhou Mansion is not very good under his governance, it is not as bad as Cao Shuang said.
Besides, how could Emperor Chu sit back and ignore such a big incident. Unfortunately, Chu Xiao didn't know that the Emperor Chu had been missing for five years, and the larger princes in the court coveted that position. In fact, the Chu Dynasty, which seemed peaceful on the surface, was already in danger in the interior.
Qingzhou Mansion is the only way for six people to go to the imperial capital. If you want to make a detour, you will definitely not be able to reach the imperial capital within half a month. Moreover, although Suning is not an official of the imperial court, I am afraid that every individual will go and see it. In the end what happened.
"Do you have the guts to follow us back to Qingzhou Mansion?" Looking at Cao Shuang, Suning asked lightly. "I still advise you not to go to death. The water in Qingzhou Mansion is too deep this time. Although your strength is high, your two fists are hard to beat four hands. Don't lose your lives in vain." Cao Shuang replied.
"You don't have to worry about it, don't you want to take revenge, take us to Qingzhou Mansion, and then you can leave by yourself." Seeing Suning's attitude so firm, Cao Shuang said cruelly, "Okay, I'll take you there. The big deal is Once I died, I Cao Shuang gave up."
Along the way, people saw many people drag their families and drive in the opposite direction. During this period, many enthusiastic people told the group not to cross Qingzhou Mansion. One day, the seven people rushed to the periphery of Qingzhou Mansion non-stop. When dusk was approaching, everyone glanced at the guarded city gate and walked cautiously.
"Do you know where the pharmacist union in Qingzhou Prefecture is?" Suning asked Cao Shuang. Hearing Suning’s words, Cao Shuang shook his head and smiled bitterly,
Two years ago, for some reason, the Alchemists’ Union and the Artificer’s Union of Qingzhou Prefecture went to the building overnight. Now, except for a few Dan shops and weapon workshops, most of them are closed. door."
Everyone was walking on the road, looking at the closed doors on both sides, they couldn't help but secretly startled. Suning looked at Jiang Bailin and nodded secretly. Jiang Bailin, who knew Suning well, immediately understood what he meant, with his eyes slightly slanted around the observation period.
Sure enough, this rough sweep made me feel no less than the three of them staring at them. Sure enough, Cao Shuang didn't lie. Qingzhou Mansion did have some problems. After strolling around half a city, everyone found an inn that was still in operation. The dusty tables, chairs and benches all told everyone that no one had been here for some time.
The store was surprised to see so many people in the group, but then he watched the three people dressed up and said in a low voice, "I don’t want everyone to say that this place shouldn’t stay long." But the group came to investigate this matter. Leave like this. Suning smiled slightly and said, "The boss is interested, it doesn't matter that we are here tonight. We will open three big rooms next to each other."
For everyone's safety, Suning didn't ask for more rooms. He and Lingyue, Jiang Bailin and the other three men had one, and Mengyao's two girls had one. It's getting late, everyone is ready to rest first, don't know what will happen tonight.
"Everyone first eat the dry food that you bought on the road. Do not touch all the food and water in Qingzhou City these few days. Let's rest early. I'm afraid it won't be peaceful tonight." After listening, everyone nodded and dispersed. "Bai Lin comes to my house." Suning said.
At night, the silent city during the day became more terrifying at night. Suning stood up and covered Lingyue with a quilt and quietly watched the scene outside the window through the window. All the groans around the divine consciousness spread all the way to it. Suning's ear came in.
"It's really weird." Taixu Dragon God's voice came from Suning's mind, "Why did you notice something?" Suning asked. "This city seems to have been portrayed with a huge formation, but your consciousness is too weak and I can't see what formation it is, but it is definitely not a good formation."
"To the northeast, the evil spirits and grievances there shocked me. I am afraid that there are not a few people who died there." Suning looked in the direction pointed by the Dragon God Taixu, relying on his excellent eyesight, Suning distinguished the right place. This is where the state capital is located.
"It seems that what Cao Shuang said is true. Those people are probably already dead inside." Suning shook his head and sat in front of the room. It was him who was on vigil tonight. Jiang Bailin must be meditating in the next room. , No matter who it is tonight, he will have no return.
Su Ning, who was straightening out the situation in his mind, suddenly heard a soft noise.
