The setting sun fell to the west, and the bloody sunset enveloped the entire Yancheng. The crowd at the city gate was in a hurry, just like when the city gate was opened in the morning.

The period when the city gate is about to be closed in the evening is also the busiest time of the day. Some people who go out to do business do not want to sleep in the wild, so they rushed into the city to find an inn and have some rest. Some small caravans in small villages outside the city also have to leave Yancheng before closing.

There are curfews in Yancheng, just like many cities near the border on the mainland, and wandering around the streets is not allowed at night. If this regulation is violated, the minor ones will be punished and confiscated and thrown into prison, and the serious ones will be killed on the spot. If you are treated as a spy, you will not just lose your life. Under the severe punishment of the law enforcement team in the city, you will be worse than death.

The soldiers at the city gate are busy checking at this moment. Every person entering the city and leaving the city will pay a piece of the city emblem for paying a certain amount of money. When leaving the city emblem, they can leave.

Among the crowds entering the city, an old woman dressed in weird clothes was particularly conspicuous. It was still late summer, but the old woman wrapped her body tightly with long clothes and trousers. The long large cloak was covered with a large hat on the cloak, which mostly covered her face, making it impossible for people to see her complete appearance. It was vaguely able to tell that the old woman was very old, with wrinkles on her mouth and chin.

Although the old man was walking in the crowd, the people around him felt an invisible thrust pushing the crowd three feet away from her body. Seeing this, people around him vaguely guessed that the old woman was not simple, so they all consciously avoided her position far away.

As the crowd slowly moved forward, the old woman finally came to the city gate. The soldier in charge of the registration was full of curiosity and vigilance when he saw the old woman's outfit. The old man avoided the people around him along the way. Although the soldiers did not know the reason, they probably guessed that the old woman should be someone she dared not provoke.

Coincidentally, this city gate was the gate that Zuo Feng and others walked when they entered the city. Yancheng had always been very strict with their soldiers. After whipping the last time they were whipped, the city gate did not dare to act out any qualities. At this time, when he saw this strange-dressed old woman, he did not dare to act rashly.

The old woman's steps were as slow as if the wind would be blown down. She came to the city gate and reached into her arms to take out five copper coins and put them on the registration table. The soldier glanced at the five copper coins on the table and then looked at the old man in front of her, and said a little embarrassedly.

"Well... Old man, as usual, I need to ask where you came from, what happened to you when you entered Yancheng, and how long you should stay in Yancheng."

After hearing the registered soldiers' words, the old woman raised her head slightly and looked at the soldiers. At this moment, the soldiers around her finally saw the old woman's complete appearance. Judging from her appearance, the old woman might look like she was in her seventies or eighties.

The old woman's face was covered with wrinkles, and there were gray spots distributed at the corners of her eyes that only older people would have. Her eyes also gave people a feeling of being turbid and invisible, but the complexion of her face was as rosy as a young man. The old man looked up at the soldier in front of her and spoke.

"Old man, I have long forgotten where I came from. I just went to Yancheng and I would just go around. I might leave tomorrow, or I might live for a month on a whim. I can't tell you."

After hearing the old woman's words, the registered soldier looked embarrassed and said again: "I'm not making things difficult for you, but we are also doing things according to the regulations. If we cannot explain the origin and explain the purpose of the origin, we can only...please rest outside the city for a while."

What he wanted to say was "If you can't explain clearly, please leave", but he didn't dare to say it at the very moment. In the end, it turned out to "please ask her to rest outside the city for a while."

The old woman looked at the soldiers in front of her with her turbid eyes. She felt a little furious when she saw them with her turbid eyes. The registered soldier couldn't help but take a few steps back, and even knocked down the chair behind her.

Seeing the soldiers' fearful appearance, the old man sighed slightly and reached into his arms again. The old man's move immediately aroused the alertness of the soldiers around him, and they all raised their weapons.

Seeing the soldiers around him as if they were facing a great enemy, the old man was stunned at first, and then he laughed twice. Then he slowly took out a small black stone from his arms and handed it to the soldiers in front of him.

When the soldiers around him were stunned when they saw the black stone. Seeing that the old man had just taken out a stone, he slowly put down his weapon. A group of soldiers looked at the black stone at the same time.

When you first see this stone, everyone will think it is just an ordinary black stone, but if you look closely, you will find its difference. First of all, the black surface of the stone makes people feel that it is pure and black, and it makes people feel that it is square or round, or whether it has edges or corners.

And if you keep staring at it, you will have a kind of self that will be swallowed half by this pure black. And there is a white light flowing in this black. The white light seems to be there or not, sometimes it seems to be wandering on the surface and sometimes it flashes inside the stone, making people feel as if the white light like thin silk is seen by my illusion.

"Is this...Black Stone?" a soldier with a captain's appearance said with some uncertainty.

After his words fell, a series of gasp sounds came one after another, and then the group of soldiers looked at the strange-looking old woman in front of them like a fool.

The old woman seemed very satisfied with the reaction of the soldiers, and smiled and put the black stone in her arms. Then she took her tiny steps and slowly walked into the city gate. At this time, the soldiers around her were still shocked and dull, but even if they woke up now, they would no longer dare to stop the old man in front of them.

A soldier trembled all over and murmured blankly, "Oh my God, is this old man actually an existence like the leader of the empire?"

When the soldier said the old man who was moving forward seemed to mutter to himself, "Chief... that little guy hasn't seen him for many years." After that, the old man walked towards the city without looking back.

Her casual words echoed in the minds of the soldiers like thunder. A few of them had poor willpower and had already sat down on the ground.

The old man's steps were still slow, and he still looked like he would fall when the wind was strong. As she stepped into Yancheng, Zuo Tiantian was knocked to the ground by the group of hooligans at this moment.

Suddenly, a strange dark and thick cloud appeared in the distant sky, and the black clouds were pressing very low and almost touching the ground. There were thick lightning and lightning flashes in the thick clouds. The lightning flashed with the lightning flashed, but it was not the rumbling thunder, but it sounded more like a huge beast roar.

At this moment, the entire Yancheng seemed to have completely stopped, and people put down all the work in their hands. Some of the guys were even making tea for the guests, and the tea cups were filled with the guys and the guests but didn't know it. It was not until the hot tea flowed along the table and the guests were on the legs. After half a day, the guests suddenly realized that they suddenly screamed and screamed.

Such things are everywhere in Yancheng. The chef looked sideways at the skewers in the pot and the stinky food was still unaware of it. The driver who was driving looked up at the sky and walked on the wrong path, and still continued to move forward stupidly.

There are only a few places that are special. One is the stone room of the largest mansion in the city. A middle-aged man with bearded face suddenly opened his eyes in seclusion. The dark stone room was like two lightning flashes across it. The moment he opened his eyes, a long roar spread from a distance as his throat rolled.

The sound was rolling, and even the thick stone wall could not stop the roar from penetrated. After the roar, several figures flashed out like ghosts outside the stone room, kneeling on one knee and saluting respectfully to the orders. The middle-aged man in the stone room only said lightly: "Find out this strange phenomenon."

At the same time, the same sounds sounded one after another in Yancheng: "Go and check".

"Yes, Lord Zuo."

"Snap to check quickly."

"Yes, right commander"

Similar words and answers came from two large mansions in Yancheng, and then several figures in Yancheng began to quickly gather towards the place where the shops in Zuojia Village were located.

Just as the vision happened, the mysterious old woman at the city gate had just walked out of the city gate by chance. When she saw the vision in the sky, her brows frowned slightly, but there was a faint look of excitement on her face. When the lightning flashed in the dark clouds and bursts of beast roars came out, the wrinkles on her face seemed to stretch out in an instant, as if she was dozens of years younger at this moment.

As the excitement and excitement arise, her whole body sways slightly and quickly swept towards the place where the vision occurred.

Although there are many people approaching the place where the vision occurred, the fastest among them is this old woman. If someone around him sees the moment the old woman moves, he will feel that the old woman in front of him shakes twice as if she can't stand, and then her whole body suddenly fades and disappears in front of him.

Starting from the city gate where the old woman is, the farthest distance among many people who rushed toward the place where the strange phenomenon occurred. But after a moment, the old woman was the first to appear on the side street where Zuojia Village is located.

Although the dark clouds in the sky have not dissipated, the beast roar and lightning in the clouds have gradually subsided. The momentum of wind and sand here has gradually weakened, and the things around it have become clearer.

When the old woman arrived, she found the corpses on the ground, and Zuo Changqing who was unconscious. But what disappointed her was that there was no other gain except these. She frowned and the old woman's voice was hoarse and said to herself: "Look at the vision that should be here, why didn't it? It shouldn't be... it shouldn't be?"

At this moment, the sound of breaking the wind sounded one after another, and several ghostly figures also appeared here. They seemed to be invisible, and after coming here, they tried their best to lurk in the shadows on the corner of the house.

As soon as they arrived here, they immediately focused on this seemingly ordinary old woman.

The old woman glanced at the surroundings, as if nothing had happened. Although the men in black later had hidden their bodies, after the old woman's turbid eyes swept over, each of them felt like they were seen through them.
