Chapter 138: The Shadow of Strife
"Puff ......"
The cold water splashed with Ah Xing's fallen body, and I saw Ah Xing's thin body lying on his back on the ground, with that stunned expression still on his face, but at this time, he no longer had the breath of life.
"What's going on?Ah Xing!?Ah Xing!!" Chen Siyi was shocked, and hurriedly rushed forward to try first aid, but she suddenly found that Ah Xing's body had quickly dissipated under the encroachment of the black light on her chest, not only that, but the black light even had the tendency to spread outward.
"Miss, be careful!" Uncle Yun's expression was grim, and he hurriedly grabbed Chen Siyi, but Chen Siyi was not the only one who was shocked by this situation.
"Is this ...... 'Curse of Extinguishment'!?" Jiang Yao recognized the black light at a glance, and the familiar picture immediately reminded him of the scene when the blue bird was killed in the Netherworld.
"How, how can this be ......?"
The mutation happened so suddenly, in just an instant, a living human life completely disappeared in such an unbelievable way, which caught everyone on the scene off guard.
"......" gluttony had a calm face, staring at the place where Ah Xing dissipated without saying a word, and then raised his head again as if he had a feeling, and looked in the direction of the ancient mansion, a cold light flashed in his red eyes.
"It's 'curse' again! Could it be that this time it's ...... It's also related to the mastermind behind the destruction of the blue bird??" Jiang Yao was stunned, the possibility revealed by the current situation in front of him pointed directly to an amazing inside story, and the person behind the pestle was undoubtedly the biggest black hand who controlled the blue bird in the first place and held the 'Soul Stone'.
"Da Da Da ......"
The roar of the helicopter gradually came from a distance, and in the first rays of sunlight in the morning after the rain, the shadows of several rescue planes had slowly flown closer, apparently the previous movement had alarmed the outside world.
"Those who have been 'cleaned up' have already arrived. Uncle Yun looked up at the helicopters and said worriedly. "This time the incident is so big, I'm afraid that in the eyes of the outside world, everyone of us present is to blame, in order to avoid trouble, I suggest you should avoid it as soon as possible, especially for you. β
Uncle Yun said, turning his head to look at the glutton, who smiled tacitly and did not answer.
"This incident started because of our Chen family, and I will take all the responsibilities with all my might. Chen Siyi clenched his fists and gritted his teeth and said. "Also, Ah Xing's death can't just be counted like this! including Wen Jie's unjust case...... I swear I'll find out!"
"Ah Xing's death must have something to do with the 'man' he met in the mountains......" Jiang Yao frowned. "Speaking of which, which is the Miaojiang Mountain area where he and Wang Le went at that time?"
"I ...... I've heard about ...... before Ah Xing: They went to Changyou Mountain east of Weiyang...... I don't know which village it is......" Zhao Minmin wiped his tears and sobbed intermittently, as if he had not recovered from Ah Xing's death earlier.
"Changyoushan, it seems that it is necessary to go once, maybe we can find the clue of the mastermind behind the scenes......"
Jiang Yao groaned in a low voice, and exchanged glances with the glutton, who nodded slightly, turned around and prepared to leave with Jiang Yao, but at this time, he heard Uncle Yun unexpectedly open his mouth:
"I'll send you off. β
As he spoke, Uncle Yun temporarily left Chen Siyi and the others behind, and walked to the side of the two glutton, and the gluttony didn't say anything when he saw this, and the three of them walked to the edge of the mountain forest.
"I heard that Changyou Mountain has not been peaceful recently, and the internal fighting of the Demon God Mansion has burned to that area. Uncle Yun said softly, turned his head to look at Chen Siyi and the others who were waiting behind, and then moved his gaze back to the gluttony in front of him.
"A while ago, the 'Kunlun tribe' seemed to be fighting against the forces in the Xiangxi area, although there is no obvious impact on humans for the time being, but it is said that there have been many demons or missing or died, if you really plan to go to Changyou Mountain, please be careful. β
"'Kunlun tribe'...... Hmph, Lu Wu's gang is really going to make trouble. Gluttony snorted disdainfully and said. "But no matter how much trouble they make, it doesn't matter to me, right? I don't belong to the Demon God Mansion. β
"Having said that, with the current state of affairs in that area, I am afraid that the slightest carelessness will lead to the disaster of the pond fish, let alone your current state. Uncle Yun sighed softly, turned his head to look at Jiang Yao, who was tired and soaking wet, and slowly raised his hand. "Once you get acquainted, I'll help you one last time, just as a farewell gift before leaving. β
As soon as the words fell, a pale spell light slowly flowed out from Uncle Yun's palm, gently surrounding Jiang Yao and Tao Tao's body, as the light rose, Jiang Yao suddenly felt a warmth flowing rapidly in his body, and the clothes on his body also turned from wet to dry, and even the fatigue and fatigue of the whole night were swept away.
"Uncle Yun...... Who the hell are you?"
With the end of the light, Jiang Yao's head, which was originally slightly chaotic due to fatigue, suddenly cleared up a lot, and he looked at Uncle Yun in front of him in surprise, but found that the other party was just smiling like this and did not answer.
"Okay, I know the situation, thanks. Tao Tao tidied up the clothes on his body, then turned around and waved his hand to Uncle Yun.
"As for the follow-up aftermath here, I'll leave it to you, Lu Shu. β
"Huh...... It's been a long time since I've heard anyone call me by that name. Uncle Yun smiled and bowed slightly to the glutton.
"Please be careful all the way to this trip, Lord Glutton. β
β¦β¦
"They...... Gone?"
Seeing Uncle Yun walking back alone, Chen Siyi hesitated for a moment and asked.
"Yes. Uncle Yun nodded, turned his head to look around, and found that only Zhao Minmin was next to him, and Wu Lao Liu was gone.
"That Wu Lao Liu was afraid of causing trouble, so he had already run away. Chen Siyi shook his head, looking like he didn't want to say more, and then raised his gaze again, looking in the direction where Jiang Yao and Tao Tao disappeared.
"That red-haired man shouldn't be an ordinary person, right?
ββ¦β¦ He is a powerful, yet sad figure. Uncle Yun sighed softly and looked up at the clearly recognizable helicopters in the air.
"If one day he can get rid of his 'shackles' and reveal his 'true self', I think ...... The world will be turned upside down once again. β
------------------------------
"It turns out that you knew Uncle Yun before......"
Jiang Yao turned his head, cautiously glanced at the direction of the helicopter landing in the distance behind him, and asked Tao Tao.
"I haven't seen him for hundreds of years, and I didn't expect him to become a human steward. Gluttony shrugged his shoulders indifferently and said. "Maybe for him, he would rather be with humans than hang out with the guys from the Demon God Mansion. β
"'Demon God Mansion'...... I've heard rumors about their internal infighting, but I didn't expect it to be so severe. Jiang Yao muttered. "The area where Ah Xing had an accident more than a month ago is near the disputed area, plus this 'Demon Gu' incident...... Could all this be related to the infighting in the Demon God Mansion?"
"I don't know, that's why I'm going to look it up. Tao Tao walked in the dense forest in the early morning with Jiang Yao, and looked around at something.
"Changyou Mountain......" Jiang Yao sighed and looked at the electronic map on his phone. "The scope of that area is too large, I'm afraid it's not so easy to find exactly where Ah Xing met 'that person', if only I could get more information......"
"Heh, if you want to ask anyone for information about this area, there is one that is the most suitable. Tao Tao suddenly stopped, stretched out his hand and pointed to a figure not far away, and said.
"Look, here it is. β
Jiang Yao looked up, and suddenly stood in place, only to see a rickety old man smoking a cigarette gun, sitting on a mountain rock in front of him expressionlessly, a pair of cloudy and protruding eyes were looking at Jiang Yao and the two of them steadily, as if they were waiting for them.
"HeβIsn't he just ......!?"
Seeing the mysterious old man appear in front of him again, the look of surprise on Jiang Yao's face could not be concealed, but the gluttony seemed to have already looked surprised, put his hand in his trouser pocket, stepped forward with a big grin, and said:
"The landslide was so big before, and it also attracted the guys who 'cleaned up the aftermath', I said, can't you take action earlier?"
"Hmph, you still have the face to complain to me, if it weren't for your foolishness, things wouldn't have gotten to this point. The old man snorted coldly, spat out the smoke ring, and looked at the glutton. "When I saw you show up, I knew it wasn't good. β
"Hehe, can you blame me for this?" the gluttonous eyebrows raised, looking like he couldn't laugh or cry. "Anyway, you should have noticed that something was wrong with that house, or you wouldn't have secretly appeared there pretending to be a doorman. β
"From my standpoint, it is impossible to intervene in the grievances of the world, and even if you sense that something is wrong, you will not be able to act until the demon actually appears, you should know this. The old man took a puff on his cigarette gun and said coldly. "It's you, who knew that Ah Xing wasn't dead early on, but you deliberately watched from the wall, watching the situation get out of control step by step, don't blame you?"
"You...... You already knew that Ah Xing wasn't dead??" Jiang Yao came back to his senses abruptly and looked at Tao Tao in surprise. "When did you find out?"
"I found out when the kitchen exploded. Gluttony spread his hands and simply admitted it. "The corpses at the scene are so large in size and abnormal in appearance, no matter how you look at it, it can't be left by Ah Xing with a small body, and it is almost the same as that left by Wang Le, who was soaked in well water. β
"Since you've seen through it a long time ago, why don't you say it?" Seeing the afterthought of the glutton, Jiang Yao suddenly became a little angry. "If I could have known about Ah Xing's fraudulent death earlier, maybe the subsequent tragedies would not have happened!"
"Even if you knew that Ah Xing wasn't dead at that time, what could you do? At that time, you could have predicted that he would kill people in the future?" Gluttony glanced at Jiang Yao and sneered.
"This ......" Jiang Yao was stunned for a moment, and was speechless.
"Besides, don't forget what we're here for, and I have no reason to make a fuss about it. Gluttony shook his head, as if he didn't intend to dwell too much on the matter, and then turned to the old man who was watching the show with a cold eye.
"It's been so long, let's get down to business. β
Gluttony stared at the old man, and finally restrained the playful expression on his face.
"How much do you know about the dispute over Changyou Mountain? β
