Chapter 6: Shu Yan's doubts
It was night, in the room of the inn, Shangguan Jin and Shu Yan sat opposite each other, and the light blurred layers of halo, and the room was even more hazy.
"Ziyun came with the news, Maple Grove City's industry in the Eastern Regions has been hit hard, the shopkeeper was killed overnight, but the murderer is nowhere to be found, Maple Grove City has always been outside the rivers and lakes, and has never heard of who it has made enemies with, but now it is a big disaster, which is really heart-wrenching. I don't know what Brother Shangguan thinks about this matter? ”
Shangguan Jin still had a smile on his face at this time, as if he was talking about an inconsequential matter. "I've heard a little about this, but in my opinion, this Maple Grove City is not innocent."
"Oh? I would like to hear about it. ”
"The rivers and lakes are divided into five regions, namely the Wang family in the Eastern Regions, the Qin family in the Western Regions, the Tao family in the Southern Regions, the Sima family in the Northern Regions, and the Zhou family in the Middle Regions. These five major families each rule a domain, and they usually go their own way, and the leader of the martial arts alliance is shocked, but they are all right, but Brother Shu has never thought that Fenglin City is just a small merchant family in the middle region, but they have their own industries in the five domains, and the scale is not small. In the next rough estimate, Fenglin City has about forty percent of the economic lifeline of the rivers and lakes, this is only on the surface, and there is not much in the dark, if this Fenglin City suddenly disperses, or the market is suspended, this is no less than a small storm for the rivers and lakes. Besides......"
"And what?" Shu Yan asked anxiously.
"Besides, in the matter of the Eastern Regions, I found that there is a shadow of the Demon Sect in it."
"Brother Shangguan means that the Demon Sect is attacking Maple Grove City, and the Demon Sect wants to defeat Maple Grove City and cause chaos in the rivers and lakes, so that they can fish in troubled waters and take advantage of the opportunity to rise."
"I'm afraid it's more than that, Brother Shu still remembers the transformation of the elixir a hundred years ago?"
"Naturally, I remember, it is said that a hundred years ago there was a ghost doctor in the Demon Sect, this ghost doctor has superb medical skills, likes alchemy, and often uses living people to test medicines, the cruelty of the means is simply outrageous, everyone on the rivers and lakes is in danger, and the people regard it as a devil, and the ghost doctor is named after this, and his real name is not known. After countless experiments, the ghost doctor finally refined into the elixir, after taking it, you can soar in the day, the achievement of the immortal position, this pill is a total of two, the ghost doctor took one, nowhere to be found, some people say that he became a fairy, some people say that he has been secretly executed by the demon sect leader at that time, there are different opinions, anyway, no one has seen him since then, and another pill has fallen into the rivers and lakes, causing a bloody storm, in order to compete for this pill, countless people have died, and the masters of the rivers and lakes have gone for a while, and the talents have withered. Until a chivalrous warrior named Dongfang Yun made a move, defeated the leader of the Demon Sect at that time, and exposed the conspiracy of the Demon Sect, the elixir did not exist, it was fabricated by the Demon Sect in order to intensify the contradictions in various domains, the purpose was to make everyone kill each other, so as to reap the benefits of the fisherman, at that time, the heroes were angry and launched a fierce war with the Demon Sect, the Demon Sect suddenly suffered heavy losses, and almost wanted to destroy the Sect, and then the Demon Sect hid and never showed up again, to this day, there is still very little news about the Demon Sect. Referring to the tragic events of the year, Shu Yan couldn't help but feel heavy.
Shangguan Jin couldn't help but sigh and said, "Greed hurts people," he got up and paced a few steps in the room before he spoke, "Brother Shu, I'm just afraid that the Demon Sect is going to make a move, although the matter of the old man in the East has stopped, but after all, it is the surface, in fact, there are still many people who have extravagant hopes for the elixir and are still secretly exploring its whereabouts." ”
"Brother Shangguan is worried about the Demon Sect's use of the Immortal Elixir again?" Shu Yan said with a serious face.
"Brother Shu, have you ever thought that the Demon Sect has been hidden for a hundred years without moving, but now there is a sudden change, but what is it?"
"Naturally, the Demon Sect thinks that its strength is very strong, enough to fight against the righteous path of the rivers and lakes, and make the rivers and lakes fall into chaos again," thinking of the Eastern Regions, he was suddenly shocked and said, "Mo Fei, Mo Fei......
"That's right, I also think that Maple Grove City is very likely to be the property of the Demon Sect, and the matter in the Eastern Regions is likely to be something wrong within the Demon Sect, so we can find out." Shangguan Jin put away the smile on his face, and showed a serious attitude for the first time. "I'm afraid that the rivers and lakes won't be calm for long." Then he fell into deep thought, and the room was suddenly silent, filled with a solemn and heavy atmosphere.
After a long time, Shangguan Jin put on his face a smile that seemed to be not a smile again, and said: "Brother Shu is really a blessing, just by patrolling the Central Domain, he can charm a stunning beauty, which is really enviable." ”
Shu Yan was stunned, reacted, and then cried and laughed: "Brother Shangguan, don't make a joke, speaking of this Miss Lin, I don't know what Brother Shangguan thinks?" For a while, the solemn atmosphere was diluted a lot.
"I don't look at it much, it's not early, I'm going to rest, Brother Shu shouldn't think too much, rest early, I'm going to hurry tomorrow." Shangguan Jin suddenly got up and left, leaving Shuyan alone in deep thought. Lin Yue'er, who met Lin Yue'er who suddenly appeared in the Hundred Wood Forest before, was shocked by her strange outfit and didn't think deeply, the Hundred Wood Forest is the only way to the Wind Forest City, looking at her debauched clothes, she must not be a serious woman, and now the Wind Forest City is very likely to be related to the Demon Sect, so Lin Yue'er may be the demon girl of the Demon Sect, what is the purpose of her approaching herself? After thinking about it, Shu Yan decided to wait and see, no matter what her purpose was, if she found someone to jail her, she didn't expect to make any waves! At this time, Lin Yue'er, who was already asleep, didn't know that she was marked as a witch.
On the second day, after eating breakfast, Tang Rao walked in the courtyard, thinking about what she needed to prepare for the escape, thinking that there might be people watching around, so she didn't dare to make any big moves, so she had to pretend to be bored and wander around. If Nangong Jingxue finds out that he has the intention of running, he is afraid that it will be difficult to even get out of the yard in the future. Although money is not omnipotent, but no money is absolutely impossible, so money must be prepared sufficiently, followed by a way to escape, Fenglin City is heavily guarded, and the exit is full of formations, if no one leads the way, I am afraid that there will be no return, so it is obviously unrealistic to escape from Fenglin City, and it is only time to wait for Nangong Jingxue to take him out to play. Thinking of this, Tang Rao decided to go to Nangong Jingxue to find out when she would be able to go out and play, so that she could get ready.
said to go, Tang Rao immediately changed direction and walked towards the exit of Shuwan Garden, but when she stepped out of Shuwan Garden and looked at the path outside the garden, Tang Rao was dumbfounded, she didn't seem to know where Nangong Jingxue lived, it was like she had won five million, and when she went to receive the award, she found that the company had closed down, and Tang Rao Sensen's sadness. No matter what, there is always a right way anyway, and I should visit this place where the original owner has lived for more than ten years. Randomly selected a path to walk, only to see that both sides of the path are planted with all kinds of exotic flowers and plants, red, white, purple, blue, etc., and there are a lot of colors that can not be called, here is really beautiful, at the end of the path is a broken yard, the courtyard gate is obliquely hung with a plaque, the handwriting on the plaque has long been blurred. There is such a courtyard in this flowery place, Tang Rao couldn't help but wonder. Out of curiosity, Tang Rao gently pushed open the courtyard door, only to hear a squeak, accompanied by the dust falling on the door, revealing the true face of the courtyard, only to see that the courtyard was also a dilapidated scene, somehow Tang Rao suddenly had a sense of adventure, in the novels of the TV series, it is not often that the protagonist is in the dilapidated courtyard or some strange places, and gets the gift or true biography of the predecessors, is it his lucky day, and he will also enjoy the treatment of the protagonist. Thinking of this, Tang Rao was very excited, and explored here with the spirit of playing for twelve points.
The furnishings in the courtyard are clear at a glance, only a few tables, chairs and benches plus a stand for drying herbs, which are covered with dust and cobwebs, gently brushed by hand, it is full of dust, and the bare piece should be planted flowers and plants, all of which indicate that its owner has been away for a long time, there are only three houses in the front yard, which should be the residence of the people who usually take care of the flowers and plants, and slowly walk to the backyard, the backyard is also extremely simple, there are only five houses, the courtyard is disorganized, and the door is also seriously damaged and hung obliquely on the door frame, It's as if you just touch it and it will fall off. Through the door, you can see that the house is in a mess, and all the tables and chairs are lying on the ground, as if someone once searched for something here.
There are five houses in the courtyard, one is a utility room, one is a study, one is a bathroom, and the other two are bedrooms, out of respect for its original owner, Tang Rao did not go in to look through, only glanced at it from a distance, just when Tang Rao was about to go back, he suddenly found that there was a large house behind the rockery, strange, such a big house did not find out when he first came in, what was going on, Tang Rao was full of suspicion and bypassed the rockery, walked to the front of the house, only to see that the plaque of the house had two words written on it, and it could be vaguely seen that it was the word "Yaolu", Could it be that the owner is a doctor, why is it not mentioned in the original text? Although the house is dilapidated but not decaying, just when Tang Rao was in doubt, only to hear a squeak The door opened by itself, Tang Rao didn't have time to marvel, he was startled by the scene in the house, only to see that the wall that was rushing to the door of the house was written "Life is not at the right time, death is not blind, sad!" Great! "A few bright red characters, the signature is Tang Ye. I don't know what kind of paint the font is used to write it, but it's still very bright, as if it had just been written. That kind of sorrow, resentment and helplessness were deeply transmitted through history, washed by this breath, Tang Rao suddenly felt like a colic, she couldn't help but cover her heart with her right hand, and slammed the door with her left hand, so as to avoid slipping to the ground, but she also bent down in pain, and her tears were left uncontrollably. Tang Rao, who was immersed in this atmosphere, intuitively flashed white light in front of her eyes, and then lost consciousness.
