Standing in front of Chusheng is an ancient city wall, dozens of feet high and hundreds of miles long, majestic and majestic, as if witnessing the vicissitudes of countless years, with the heaviness and desolation of the ages.

For the sake of safety, Fatty Li chose a place slightly far from Qingfeng City, so it was not until sunset that the master and servant arrived at the boundary of Qingfeng City.

Now outside the city wall is an endless wilderness, with dust sweeping through it and the cold wind is everywhere in the sky, as if everything is withering.

In front of you is the ancient city wall, and under the remaining clouds, it becomes more and more heavy, like an insurmountable natural barrier.

The carriage slowly drove past the official road and soon arrived at the city gate. After only meeting the guards, he let them enter the city without caring about the purpose of Chu Sheng's behavior.

The guards just looked at Chu Sheng and the others slowly entering the city, gradually disappearing into the night in Qingfeng City.

As the night gradually approached, the city should have been filled with dim lights and bustling, but now it seems particularly different.

Looking around, Chu Sheng felt that there was a silence in Qingfeng City. None of the lights in the thousands of houses were lit. Only the occasional barking of dogs came from the distance but it disappeared quickly, and even there was no one on the street.

The entire Qingfeng City is like a lion that has lost its vitality, quietly crawling on the boundless earth, bringing people endless silence.

At this moment, Chu Sheng felt like a huge rock was pressed on his chest. Under strong suppression, he couldn't help but recall the hideous demons in his mind.

Thinking of it, Chu Sheng unconsciously shook the whip and rushed towards the Chu Mansion at a faster pace.

After an afternoon of hard work, he was already hungry and pressed his chest against his back, and the little food he ate in the morning was useless.

Chu Sheng felt that this was not a solution.

On the one hand, not only does he eat more, but the process of eating is also a waste of time. It takes nearly half an hour to eat breakfast, and he becomes hungry again after a while. If this continues, Chu Sheng feels that he doesn’t have to do anything a day and just eats it.

"It seems that I really need to buy some essence and nourishing things, some ginseng, bear bile and the like."

Chu Sheng thought to himself that what his body needs now is not food, but the energy brought by food. Rather than this, isn’t it better to eat some medicinal materials for tonics?

Thinking of this, Chu Sheng soon came to the street he was familiar with.

Seeing the Chunxiaofang, which was singing and dancing in the past, the door was closed, and the pub, which was usually crowded, also closed its door signs. A strong sense of anxiety gradually surged into Chu Sheng's heart. Even Xiao Qi, who was beside him, was a little scared. She curled up in the carriage and hid behind Chu Sheng, as if this danger had stopped here.

Soon, the carriage stopped in front of the Chu Mansion.

When the guards outside the door saw Chu Sheng coming off the carriage, they were stunned at first, as if they didn't know the mighty man in front of them. When he saw Xiao Qi behind Chu Sheng, he carefully looked at Chu Sheng's face and then confirmed that the man in front of him was not his eldest son.

He hurriedly opened the mansion gate, and the guards greeted Chu Sheng in with a respectful look on his face.

As soon as they entered the Chu Mansion, they clearly felt that the depression in the Chu Mansion was even more serious than in the city. The guards in the outer courtyard all looked tired. After seeing Chu Sheng back, they just greeted him simply, and were obviously absent-minded.

After calling a guard casually, Chu Sheng asked, "What happened in the mansion during my few days in the city? Why do you all look very tired and scared?"

The guard hurried to Chu Sheng, whispered, "Young Master, the few days you were not at home, the Chu family received an order from above and sent guards from the mansion to patrol the army every night. However, after only one night, most of them died tragically, and only one person survived, but that person was no different from dead. Now he was stupid and crazy.

Later, this situation also occurred in the Chu Mansion. Ergou, who was guarding the door in the mansion, was found to be a mummy lying on the steps early the next morning, without a trace of wound on his body. If it weren't for his clothes and his guarding the door yesterday, he would have almost no recognition."

Speaking of this, the guard's eyes were floating, staring at the surroundings, and a hint of panic gradually surged upwards, and whispered to Chu Sheng: "Young Master, we suspect that these strange things in the city are all the ghosts and monsters!"

"Ghost?"

Chu Sheng narrowed his eyes slightly. It seemed that his previous guess was indeed good. The monster he encountered that day had lurked into Qingfeng City.

And the ghosts in the guard's mouth are most likely those monsters!

What exactly are those monsters? What makes them look like? What are they sneaking into Qingfeng City for?

All kinds of doubts lingered in Chu Sheng's heart, and at this moment he suddenly felt an indescribable sense of crisis.

Perhaps it is the fear of the unknown, or the desire for strength.

Chu Sheng clenched his fists. No matter what the monster was, he would not let them hurt their relatives. This is his bottom line!

"What kind of ghosts, it's just some bandits wandering around the city. If you are afraid of this, why are you still guarding the Chu Mansion?"

Chu Sheng's words were filled with anger, and suddenly these guards were silent and no longer speaking.

The news of Chu Sheng returning home soon came to Chu Tianxiao's ears, but when he called Chu Sheng to the study room, he was stunned when he saw Chu Sheng, who was one head taller than him.

Is this still my handsome son?

In response to this, Chu Sheng had no choice but to shake his head helplessly and tell his father about his practice of martial arts.

After being stunned for a long time, Chu Tianxiao reluctantly accepted this fact.

Chu Sheng looked at his father who had been half-white in just a few days, and anger rose in his chest, as if it was the last nostalgia of this body for the old man.

Perhaps because of practicing the Red Practice, Chu Sheng found that not only his body had obvious changes, but also his temper was good.

Chu Sheng just wanted to live a simple life with his family and then marry a beautiful girl to spend the rest of his life, but the world always forces him to do things he doesn't like!

"Oh, you shouldn't have come back!"

At this moment, Chu Tianxiao sighed softly, looking at Chu Sheng, the sad face on his face remained unshakable.

Without answering Chu Tianxiao's words, Chu Sheng asked: "Father, what are the ghosts in the mouths of the servants?"

Chu Tianxiao sighed: "Recently, I sent someone to recruit some guards to guard the gate with me. There was nothing wrong at that time, but when the guards were divided into several teams to patrol only one person, an abnormal situation happened.

Moreover, because of the recruitment of the army, Zhao Bo also went to guard several important locations, and even the other four major families were transferred to some personnel."

Nodding, Chu Sheng suddenly spoke: "Since that's the case, then I'll be alone in guarding the door of the mansion tonight. I'm going to see what kind of demons and ghosts dare to disturb my Chu Mansion!"

"No, I won't agree to this!"

Hearing Chu Sheng's words, Chu Tianxiao quickly refused and said, "I heard that the ghosts are extremely fierce. I heard that some Tongli warriors died tragically, so you can't go."

"Father, I told you before that I have practiced some martial arts and I am still confident in my strength. Those ghosts can't do anything to me."

Although Chu Tianxiao repeatedly stopped him, Chu Sheng seemed to have made up his mind. After the advice was fruitless, Chu Tianxiao could only send several guards to secretly protect Chu Sheng's safety.

After exiting Chu Tianxiao's room, Chu Sheng directly ordered the kitchen to cook a lot of hot dishes.

Braised pork elbow and stewed chicken, each of which is several plates, and even a whole bucket of rice.
