Chapter 33 The Past of the Li Family
Regarding Chu Yunfeng's approach, the old man didn't even reply. With the care of the young man's mind, he was not at all surprised by this.
When he came to the village five miles away, Chu Yunfeng released the little boy as he said, patted the bad luck on his body, and quickly moved away from this place of right and wrong.
A few hours later, we came to a small town, and by this time it was already dark.
After a night of tense mind, Chu Yunfeng was very tired, and found an inn and stayed in.
When I woke up, it was already noon. Come to the lobby, grab a bite to eat, and ask about something by the way.
Chu Yunfeng found a table where no one sat down, and waited for Xiao Er to serve the food before he said to Xiao Er: "Little Second Brother, when I came in the morning, I met a strange village, which is a murderous mansion, do you know what it is?"
As soon as his words fell, the people around him looked at him, and seemed to be very taboo about this matter.
Xiao Er glanced around, waited until no one noticed, then lowered his voice and told a bizarre story.
A few decades ago, there was a big family in Wutong Town, the Li family. The village that Chu Yunfeng passed through was the Li family's clan land.
The Li family was prosperous, and in order to make a living, the family moved to Wutong Town, and only a small number of people stayed in the clan land.
After moving to the town, the clansmen were very competitive, and one genius after another appeared, and several even became disciples of the Sword Sect.
Under the influence of these people, the Li family gradually became a big family.
But just a few decades ago, the Li family, which had been thriving, suddenly had a disaster, and everyone died overnight.
After asking the descendants of the Li family of the Sword Sect, after getting the news, he came back and collected all the dead clansmen one by one and buried them in the bluestone tomb.
Just when everyone thought that the town was going to be covered with a bloody storm, the descendants of the Li family quietly left Wutong Town and had not been heard from for decades.
The more this happened, the more panicked the people in the town became, and they kept the Li family secret.
At this time, there was another news of the haunting of the Li family, and people were even more afraid to mention it, for fear of touching the mold.
Later, in order to prevent someone from accidentally entering the Li family's land and causing an accident, someone erected a stone tablet at the entrance of the village and engraved the word "murderous house" to warn passers-by.
Recently, someone in the town has disappeared inexplicably every once in a while, and many people suspect that it is related to the murder house.
But the murderous house is more than ten miles away from the town, and it feels too unbelievable to think about it.
After Xiao Er walked away, Chu Yunfeng not only didn't understand the whole story, but became even more confused.
Since everyone was buried in the bluestone tomb, what happened to the coffins in the murderous mansion?
And the old man and the little boy named Yuanbao, what happened to them?
Chu Yunfeng was confused, and quickly shook his head, filling his stomach first.
But before he could start moving his chopsticks, three people with mysterious expressions came over and sat down around the table.
"Little brother, have you been to that murderous mansion?"
A man in his thirties, with a scar on his face, lowered his head close to Chu Yunfeng and asked in a low voice.
"This..."
The identities of the three are not simple at first glance. With such an abrupt question, Chu Yunfeng immediately became vigilant.
The man with the scar stretched out his right hand and made a downward motion, signaling Chu Yunfeng not to get excited, and said, "Little brother, don't be afraid! The three of us also came from afar, and we are very interested in the murderous mansion you mentioned, if you have been there, you might as well tell us about it." ”
The scarred man said, giving a look to a young man dressed as a retinue next to him.
The young man comprehended, took out a storage bag, and quietly stuffed it to Chu Yunfeng.
"A little courtesy, not a respect!" the scar man continued, "I hope the little brother knows something, tell us everything." ”
Chu Yunfeng glanced at the storage bag in his hand, which was much more advanced than his own. Separated a trace of his mind, and looked inside, there were five hundred spirit stones.
He had never seen so many spirit stones, and as soon as he held them in his hand, he was reluctant to give them away, so he had to act according to the wishes of others.
"Three big brothers, to be honest, I did get close to that murderous mansion. It was a small village, with only a few dozen households, all of which were made of unkempt grass, not like a big family. When I got there, it was one night. I ran for many days, trying to find a place to rest for the night, but there were no people in the vicinity for more than ten miles, only such a village, and later..."
Chu Yunfeng was talking, and was about to talk about the key place, when he suddenly stopped and stopped talking.
These people are so generous, it seems that it is not just as simple as interest. I almost lost my life there, but I can't just say it, I have to sell it for a good price!
The man with the scar had been practicing for many years, how could he not see what Chu Yunfeng meant? This kid was really insatiable! He was about to draw his knife immediately.
But at that moment, another man dressed as a servant held his hand. The man was younger than the young man, but he looked very sophisticated.
After holding down the man with the scar, the man in the servant gave the young man a slight glance. Reluctantly, the young man took out a storage bag again and sent it to Chu Yunfeng.
Without waiting for him to speak, Chu Yunfeng directly grabbed the storage bag and put it in his arms like a nobody.
After looking around, he said in a voice that only they could hear: "The three of you are from a small sect, you have never seen the big world, and you just want to earn more spirit stones." Under the guarantee, the information provided is definitely worth the price!"
The three of them listened to what Chu Yunfeng said solemnly, and couldn't help but get a little closer.
"In that place, there is no village in front of the village and no store in the back, there is only one village. Later, as a last resort, I had to go in, intending to find a house to spend the night. But just as I was about to enter the hospital, an old man appeared..."
Chu Yunfeng talked word for word about his experience in the murderous mansion, and the three of them listened attentively, lest they miss any detail.
When it came to fighting Yuanbao, the servant-clothed man suddenly interrupted him and asked, "I can fight you in the middle of Yuanqi, but I am slightly behind." What's so special about him when he's attacking?"
Chu Yunfeng thought carefully for a while and said, "It's so dark, I can't see it clearly. If there's anything special about it... His Yuan Force seems to be black. That's right..."
Chu Yunfeng thought of something, pulled open his cuffs, and showed the wound of being bitten by ingots.
"I restrained him, and he resisted and bit me. You see, after biting off such a large piece of flesh, the wound is still a little black, as if it had been poisoned. ”
Seeing Chu Yunfeng's wound, the eyes of the three of them suddenly lit up, as if they had determined something, and they did not have a trace of doubt about Chu Yunfeng's words.
After another cup of tea, Chu Yunfeng finished speaking. After talking for so long, his mouth was a little dry, he took a sip of water, and finally said: "According to what Xiao Er said just now, the Li family was buried in the bluestone tomb, but there are still dozens of coffins in the murderous house. There must be an article in this!"
The three of them got the clues they wanted, and they didn't have the heart to listen to him anymore. He didn't bother to interrupt him, and it wasn't until now that the man in the servant clothes asked, "Little brother, what you said is very useful to us!"
Taking advantage of the opportunity to speak, he asked the young man to stuff a storage bag into Chu Yunfeng's hand.
"Last question, can you tell us the location of the murderous house?"
This sentence happened to ask Chu Yunfeng's heart.
Fei worked so hard, in addition to wanting to make a sum of spirit stones, there was also a purpose, that is, to attract these people to the past and take revenge on the old man and the guy called the ingot.
Now that the goal has basically been achieved, Chu Yunfeng happily said the location of the murderous mansion.
After the three of them left, Chu Yunfeng began to ponder.
A family, from depression to prosperity, and then collapsed overnight. The rumors in the market are contrary to the murderous house, and there are all kinds of mysteries. Coupled with these three people of unknown origin, every point shows that things are not simple.
took out a few spirit stones and threw them on the table, and couldn't wait to say hello to Xiao Er, Chu Yunfeng got up and left. He wanted to go to the ruins of the Li family to have a look.
After walking out of the inn, I remembered that I forgot to ask the location of the Li family. But he is now worth a lot of money, and this little thing is not difficult for him. Just spend a few spirit stones, and it's easy to get the news you want.
In the westernmost part of Wutong Town, there is an abandoned building complex, which is the original mansion of the Li family.
There are collapsed buildings everywhere, and many places are caused by people who came to loot treasures after the collapse of the Li family. In comparison, there are many fewer scratches on the building.
Isn't the Li family killed in a fight? This is in line with the rumors, but what means can quietly destroy a family overnight?
Further inside, I carefully observed many places, and there was no trace of poisoning. If you are poisoned, some poison will be spilled and the growth of the creature will be affected.
The whole building complex, the grass and trees are very regular, and even the moss on the tiles is naturally grown, not like it is affected by toxins.
It's weird!
After the descendants of the Li family buried their clansmen, they did not seek revenge, could it not be a vendetta?
The hatred of the exterminating clan is not shared. If it was a vendetta, the descendants of the Li family were asking about the status of the Sword Sect, so they should not turn a deaf ear and swallow this breath silently.
Moreover, in this small town, the possibility of the Li family provoking a powerful existence is very small.
There are no rich mineral veins here, nor is there a strong aura, and the cultivation environment is very ordinary, and the strong will not live in such a place for a long time.
Therefore, there is a great possibility that the Li family will perish, and it is due to internal reasons.
But what is the reason for a prosperous family to perish on its own?
With this assumption, things get even more complicated.
If you want to figure it out thoroughly, there are only two clues at present: one is the bluestone tomb, where the Li family's bones are buried, and the other is the Li family's clan land, the murderous mansion.
