Chapter 29 Duanmu City Lord.

There were soldiers guarding around the high platform. When they saw a group of people, they quickly knelt down and saluted, saying: "See you, fairy masters and fairies!"

"Let's go to the city lord's mansion first." Chen Huan and the others had done many missions, and they were used to similar scenes, so they didn't even look at the soldiers, and said to Pei Ling, "The Duanmu city lord here is a senior in the foundation building period, wait a moment After seeing it, don't be rude!"

Pei Ling nodded: "Brother Chen, don't worry, I've made a note."

After a while, they arrived at the City Lord's Mansion. Although Luoshan City was under the same rule as Luquan City, it was obviously much richer. The City Lord's Mansion is also far more majestic than the Luquan City City Lord's Mansion.

He went to the door to explain his identity, and after a while, a housekeeper came out to greet him.

After stepping over the threshold, I suddenly felt a lightness all over my body, as if there was a breeze blowing towards my face, and my whole body relaxed a bit.

Noticing that Pei Ling seemed to have doubts, Chen Mei explained with a light smile: "City Lord Duanmu is a formation cultivator. This city lord's mansion has a spirit gathering formation, which is a simplified version of the spirit gathering formation on Huaiyin Peak, which can nourish Muscles and bones, and good for cultivation."

"Thank you, Senior Sister Chen." Pei Ling thanked, and looked around, but saw the deep courtyard along the way in the mansion, with sparse vegetation. Occasionally, servants and maidservants passed by. When they saw the housekeeper personally guiding guests, they all backed away, lowered their eyebrows and looked respectful. .

After a while, they were welcomed into a side hall.

The furnishings in the hall are gorgeous, and there are eight muskmelon-style floor-standing palace lanterns around them. Many jugglers are embroidered on the lampshade. When the butler greets the group to sit down, the maidservant serves tea and claps their hands, these jugglers jump out of the lampshade one after another. Come out, fall to the ground and shake, just like a stranger.

After bowing to the top, various juggling performances began.

The butler said with a smile: "The city lord is busy with some government affairs and will come to see all the distinguished guests later. Please sit down less."

While speaking, another group of beautiful women came in, holding calendula silver basins in their hands, filled with melons, fruits and pastries, and served them attentively.

"Don't dare to disturb Senior Duanmu." Chen Huan said hastily, "We waited for nothing, how dare we trouble Senior? Brother Duanmu's handwriting is here, please pass it on to Senior."

The butler said politely: "The city lord said that since you have come from afar, it is best to leave the honored guests to rest in the mansion for a few days. As for the letter from the young city lord, the city lord will arrive shortly after the meeting, and the honored guests are invited to deliver it in person."

Chen Huan and the others didn't really want to leave, so after exchanging pleasantries, they began to watch singing and dancing together while being served by female performers.

After about half a day, it was time to hold the lamps. There was a slight cough from outside, and the jugglers suddenly turned into silhouettes and returned to the lampshade.

The female prostitutes also stopped immediately, persuading them to drink and making fun of them.

The butler showed a respectful expression: "The city lord is here."

Chen Huan and the others stood up in awe and greeted them.

After a while, a group of followers surrounded a middle-aged man and entered.

This man looked about forty years old, with a majestic appearance, with a short beard under his chin, and his eyes were shining brightly between Gu Pan, looking very shrewd and capable.

When Chen Huan and the others saw him, they immediately got up and left their seats, and greeted respectfully: "After a few days, the city lord's demeanor is even better than before!"

"I'm old, I'm not young like you, and my future is limitless." City Lord Duanmu was very polite, "I'm in the sect, please take care of me."

The two sides exchanged a few words, Chen Huan took out his son's handwriting, Duanmu City Lord thanked him after taking it, but did not leave immediately, but asked with a smile: "Do you have any other tasks this time? If you are in Luoshan City Nearby, maybe I can do a thing or two?"

"I'm sorry to ask the city lord." Chen Huan said respectfully, "I'm about to ask the city lord for advice: we have two more tasks here, one is the flower demon outside the city; the other is the purple eye in the Luoshan mountain. mink."

"The flower demon outside the city is nothing more than the fourth floor of Kaihui." Hearing this, the city lord Duanmu stroked his short beard and said with a smile, "For everyone, there is nothing to fear, so I won't say much. As for that Purple-eyed mink, although the speed is extremely fast, but since you have accepted this task, you must have come prepared, it was not a problem at first, but recently, there are some troubles."

"Trouble?" Chen Huan was startled, exchanged glances with Huang Xian and Zhang Zhongqin quickly, clasped his fists and said, "Please ask the city lord for advice!"

Duanmu City Lord said slowly: "Because recently a human-faced spider in the foundation stage came out from the depths of Luoshan to lay eggs, and it happened to be near the territory of the purple-eyed marten."

When Chen Huan and his group heard this, their expressions changed: "Human-faced spider?"

"That's right." City Lord Duanmu sighed, "After I found out, I originally wanted to remove it, so as not to bring hidden dangers to Luoshan City. It's just that I had an accident twenty years ago. Not only did I have no hope of promotion, but I also fell into chronic illness. I couldn't make a full shot. Although the man-faced spider was seriously injured due to the birth, I was not completely sure, so I could only let it build a nest outside Luoshan, but ordered the people under it not to approach rashly, so as not to prey on it. .”

Seeing Chen Huan and the others hesitate, he thought for a while and said, "However, your task may not be impossible to complete."

"Please enlighten me, the city lord!" Chen Huan asked quickly, "But I don't know what we should do?"

Although the main purpose of their trip was for Pei Ling, none of the disciples of Chong Ming Sect would think that there were too many spirit stones. The task of purple-eyed sable was very rewarding.

Duanmu City Lord said: "Although I have not been able to get rid of the man-faced spider, I have been observing it secretly for many days, but I have roughly understood its current range of activities. I will ask the housekeeper to fetch a map for you later. You will work harder then. Just go around in circles."

Chen Huan and the others breathed a sigh of relief, and solemnly thanked the city lord.

After talking about the scene, Duanmu City Lord excused himself to leave in a hurry, leaving only the housekeeper to entertain them.

This time it was not in the side hall, but turned to a water pavilion, where delicacies had already been prepared, and there were two jars of low-grade spirit wine brewed from a special spirit fruit according to Chen Mei. Helpful in practice.

"City Lord Duanmu is really generous." Seeing the two altars of spiritual wine, even Chen Huan, who had been acting very decently before, couldn't help showing a gleam of joy, and said happily, "It's not in vain that I won this task on purpose."

This kind of spiritual wine seems to be very rare, Chen Huan even put one of them into the storage bag in public, and only opened one jar to distribute to everyone at the banquet.

Pei Ling picked up the wine glass, took a sip, and his eyes lit up immediately. The light blue wine had a mellow aroma. After taking a sip, it was long and pungent in his throat, and then a flame seemed to rise from his dantian, quickly burning his limbs and bones.

In this short moment, the spiritual power in his body has increased by a small amount.

"Yin Corpse Cloud lease needs ten spirit stones at a time, and the mission rewards for sending letters and peach blossom eyes add up to only a few spirit stones." Seeing this, Pei Ling couldn't help thinking to himself, "It seems that the reason why Chen Huan and others The reason for taking these two tasks is because there are additional benefits that can be obtained."
