Volume 1: The Rise of the East Chapter 15: Poisoning Clues
The two men who came down from the attic were a man and a woman.
The man's sword eyebrows and tiger eyes look dignified, he is the second place in the top 100 list under the age of 20 in Lingzhen Academy, and the woman is Wu Caifeng, the eldest lady of the Wujia family in the west of the city, who seems to be slim and elegant, showing off Huizhong, but in front of the man, he always feels a little scratching his head and making a gesture, and he looks at the cultivation as only the seventh grade of the second realm forging bone realm.
Chu Ruochen's expression tightened, but he didn't show weakness and replied, "Who should I be, it turned out to be the eldest prince of Wu, the second in a thousand years! If you can come here, of course I can also come! This is Ruyi Fang, but it is not the 'Chunxiu Hall' of your Xiwu family in the city!" After speaking, he lowered his head and ignored the two of them.
Mo Yang looked at the man who spoke, cultivating to ~ the seventh grade of the Spirit Realm...... But he didn't take it to heart, but whispered to Chu Ruochen, "Chunxiutang, what is it? Why have I never heard of it......?"
Chu Ruochen's face turned blue for a while, scratched his head, and replied with some embarrassment, "Eh, Chunxiutang...... It's a brothel, a place ...... the moon."
Mo Yang suddenly realized after hearing this.
At this time, when the woman heard the word "brothel", she obviously became a little annoyed and angry.
"It's you sons and brothers, ruining the reputation of my Xiwu family in the city!
Whoosh! Whoosh!
As soon as the words fell, three black flying needles were like two black lights, breaking through the air and shooting rapidly towards the door of Chu Ruochen!
Even Chu Ruochen, who was the fourth rank of the Spirit Realm, could have thought that the woman would fight when she said it, and she was using a hidden weapon! Even if she was a big realm higher than the woman, she still reacted half a beat slower.
Seeing the flying needle, it is coming in an instant!
Ding! Ding!
There were three soft sounds, and at some point, Mo Yang had already taken out the black hammer and blocked the three black flying needles in a chic and easy way.
At this time, Chu Ruochen came back to his senses and looked at the three black needles on the ground in a daze. followed by a change in his face, wanting to pick it up and fight back, and treat it in the way of others!
"Don't move. This needle is highly toxic. ”
Mo Yang stretched out his hand and gently stopped Chu Ruochen.
"Oh, it's just a product of the Spirit Realm, and it also has such a body?" Wu Jinyou looked at Mo Yang with interest, as if a Venerable One was looking at two low-level creatures.
Chu Ruochen was so angry that his eyes straightened, he ignored Wu Jinyou, pointed at the woman and scolded angrily, "What a vicious woman! It's just a human-faced scorpion heart! You shrew, you are not even as good as the Fengyue woman of Chunyue Hall!"
Wu Caifeng heard Chu Ruochen's angry scolding, but she was surprisingly not angry, but sneered and said, "It turns out that the eldest prince of Chu likes Chunyue Hall so much! It seems that you will be able to make the headlines of the book review of the 'Yueyun Club' tomorrow! Miss Ben can let people preach non-stop every day in four chapters and eighty times, and also let everyone in the city have a good taste of the romances of the eldest prince." ”
Hearing Wu Caifeng's words, Chu Ruochen's body trembled with anger, and he couldn't wait to rush up to teach this woman a lesson.
Mo Yang stretched out his hand to stop Chu Ruochen's impulse again, and looked at the two opposite with a playful expression.
Seeing this scene, Wu Jinyou and Wu Caifeng laughed proudly.
After laughing, Wu Jinyou walked towards Moyang step by step, and said with a playful voice and an arrogant expression, "You should be the Moyang Mo Divine Doctor!" Although it is rumored that you have broken through the Spirit Realm in three days, you are a master of one in ten thousand, and even Chu Yukun is planted in your hands, but in my eyes, the Spirit Realm is a product, but even a dog is not as good as ......."
After finishing speaking, he laughed again, and when he walked to the door, he turned around and mocked, "Ah, that's right, I don't know if this 'Four Families Competition' will participate in the Mo Shen Doctor, you'd better be too scared to participate, otherwise, your end will be even worse than Chu Yukun......"
Mo Yang stared at Wu Jinyou and finished speaking, the corners of his mouth rose slightly, and he sneered, "That's it, it's better." ”
At this time, at the corner of the attic on the second floor, two people were silently watching the every move of the four people just now.
"Shopkeeper Joe, it's your turn...... After all, it's your turf......"
After the woman in red finished speaking, she immediately turned to the depths of the second floor and disappeared.
Mo Yang turned his head slightly, looking in the direction where the woman in red disappeared, his eyebrows raised slightly, it seems that this pearl city has begun to have an undercurrent surging, and it is about to rise in all directions......
At this time, Qiao Fuhai Qiao's shopkeeper happened to appear, and when he saw Mo Yang Chu Ruochen, he hurriedly stepped forward to greet him warmly.
"Oh, it's all a little negligence, and I actually neglected the two sons, it's really damned. Two sons, upstairs please. ”
Mo Yang spiraled up the stairs, and while slowly going upstairs, he began to slowly look at this "Hidden Saint Four Star Pavilion".
Although the first floor of this attic is used for reception, there are also some "spirit swords, spirit knives, spirit guns, spirit halberds" and other four-level lower grade spiritual weapons, among which there are also the same level of rings, defensive magic arrays, defensive spiritual weapons, etc.; The most obvious difference between the second floor and the first floor is that there is not a single fourth-level spiritual artifact seen on the second floor.
Could it be that there is a mystery hidden in this private room?
After the shopkeeper Qiao led the two into a private room, he ordered someone to serve a pot of excellent tea, and after the guest and host sat down, they waved their sleeves unhurriedly, and instantly flashed a ten-inch long spiritual artifact illustrated book from the ring, and the fairy waves around the illustrated book were faint, as if it was some kind of magic circle or prohibition.
After doing all this, Shopkeeper Qiao immediately waved his right hand lightly, made a gesture of please, and then looked at the two with a smile.
Mo Yang was silent, and gently opened the first page of the illustrated book.
The moment it was opened, the spiritual weapon on the illustrated book seemed to be alive, rising slightly in mid-air, getting bigger and bigger, until it was about the same size as the real thing, and the whole body was translucent, and the spiritual light surged, looming.
"Brother Mo, what type of spiritual weapon do you like......? Take your pick. Chu Ruochen picked up the tea in front of him and said after drinking it all.
"Hmm...... Forget about these spiritual weapons, I can't get used to them. Mo Yang pondered for a moment and said, "Originally, I came to this Ruyi Fang to see the world, but now I look at it, and it really lives up to its reputation......"
Then, Mo Yang paused, and the conversation changed.
"Shopkeeper Qiao, I have an appointment with the owner of Yufang, the time is almost up, please ask Shopkeeper Qiao to lead the way, or talk about business first. ”
After speaking, he got up and looked at Chu Ruochen.
"Brother Mo, I'm waiting for you here, just to pick out a few high-grade spiritual weapons. ”
............
Yufu is located in the depths of Ruyi Fang, surrounded by powder walls outside the courtyard, green willows hang around, the courtyard is connected with Yong Road, and the mountains and stones are embellished.
The two didn't talk along the way, just walked one after the other. Mo Yang knew that the more like this, the more difficult it was for the poppy to meet and talk about.
After a while, the two came to a hall, and the left and right guards automatically retreated, leaving only Mo Yang and Yu Meiren.
"Mo Gongzi, sure enough, he is a young hero, personable, and handsome. ”
"Master Yu, I praised it. The owner of Yu Fang is not a fairy jade, looking back and smiling. ”
The poppy hid her face and giggled, and then the two sat down separately.
"I don't know, what is the so-called invitation of the owner of Yu...... In the next place, except for seeing a doctor, nothing else is good. After Mo Yang spoke, he went straight to the point. Mo Yang knew in his heart that if he stayed with a bold and vicious woman like Yu Meiren for a quarter of an hour, he would be at risk for a quarter of an hour.
"Mo Gongzi is really anxious. The little woman made a long story short. I would like to invite Mo Gongzi to join Ruyifang, as a guest secretary of the 'Four Families Competition' in three months, to fight for Ruyifang. ”
This is the second time Moyang has heard the "Four Families Competition" today, and he couldn't help but ask, "What is the Four Families Competition?"
"The so-called 'Four Great Families Competition' is actually a trial that can only be opened once every twenty years in this Pearl City, and the participants must be young monks under the age of twenty, in a secret realm in the mountains behind the Lingzhen Academy - Thundering Valley. Because this valley can only be opened once in twenty years, legend has it that it was left by a monk who founded the Lingzhen Academy a long time ago, and there are countless high-grade spiritual treasures and immortal elixirs in it, but it can only be opened once every twenty years to prevent the resource from being depleted too quickly. Originally, this was a grand event in Pearl City, as long as they were under the age of twenty, monks above the Spirit Realm could participate. However, hundreds of years ago, because of the unequal resources of each party, the trend of today's four major families was slowly formed...... And the Pearl City Trial also existed in name only, and it has become a battle of the four major families today......"
After the poppy finished speaking unhurriedly, she slowly poured a glass of wine and tasted it slowly.
"Since the four major families all have a younger generation, and each of them is a dragon and phoenix among people, and the amount of the trial is all based on chance and ability, why should the owner of Yu Fang force it?" Mo Yang still asked with some puzzlement.
"The four major families compete, and obtaining resources is one of them, and the other is the other...... The family that won the first place was the future lord of the city...... And the Chu family has been the top of the list for five consecutive years!"
I see, I didn't expect that the first family has dominated Pearl City for a hundred years!
Mo Yang was silent for a long time before he slowly spoke, "Such a big event is related to the rise and fall of a clan...... Master Yu, why do you want to invite me, a first-grade cultivator of the Spirit Realm?"
Yu Meiren hid her face and smiled again, her face was ruddy, and she looked at Mo Yang Dao with a glow in her eyes, "Young Master Mo, why do you knowingly ask? Of course, the first product of the Spirit Realm will not be your true cultivation, if Chu Yukun had known earlier, he would not have ended up like this." ”
"Heh, what does the owner of Yu Fang think about the real cultivation under the geometry?"
"At least...... Seven products of the Agile Realm. ”
Mo Yang's face was slightly relaxed, and he neither admitted nor denied it. Come to think of it, just now in the "Hidden Saint Four Star Pavilion", Yu Meiren just wanted to secretly observe Mo Yang's true strength.
"So, the owner of Yu Fang is afraid of refusal, and plans to use the clues of Chu Yingxue's poisoning as a quid pro quo?"
"Not bad. ”
"How can I trust you?"
The poppy put down her wine glass, her face was slightly red and slightly drunk. At this moment, the poppy's face was like frost, her expression was cold, and she even seemed to have a bad look in her eyes, and said word by word, "This poisoned person is from the Northern Qin ......."
Mo Yang was shocked in his heart, coinciding with his own discovery, this poppy beauty is really not simple! But he still pretended to be suspicious, and continued to ask, "Dongzhou, Southern Xia, Xichuan, Northern Qin...... These continents are so vast, how do I know that you are not fooling me?"
The poppy giggled again, her expression bewitching.
"Mo Gongzi is really cautious! Tonight, there is an underground auction, and this person will also be there. Childe, do you dare to go with us?"
