Chapter 242
The breeze blew slowly, brushing Gu Pinyao's white and tender cheeks, and the ink-colored green silk swayed slightly behind her slender back, obviously a harmless appearance, but the aura of her body was so cold that people didn't dare to look at it. She just stood silently in place, without moving, but the surrounding mountains and buildings quietly became the background, highlighting her figure particularly tall. Like a god standing on the top of Kunlun, high above.
"Who are you?"
The cold female voice sounded, with a majestic energy, like bursts of thunder falling into everyone's ears, making them feel a sudden shock in their hearts, as if they had been sounded the alarm by something, and the original arrogance of the superior sank at once, and they did not dare to make any more trouble.
As soon as the middle-aged man heard Gu Pinyao's words, his expression immediately became solemn, and he respectfully said to the person opposite, "We are from the Heavenly Doctor Sect, and we heard that the Yuan family was in trouble, so we came to the rescue." ”
He knew very well that the strength of the woman in front of him was by no means comparable to that of ordinary people, and the momentum and power that she carried with her words alone could not resist at all if she was not at the level of an elder in the sect. And the other party is only showing his strength now, and he has not launched an attack, so they can stand here intact, otherwise most of the people present will be hit hard, even if it is an easy blow from the other party. The other party looks young, but his strength should not be underestimated.
However, Gu Pinyao listened to the other party's answer, frowned slightly, as if he remembered something, and then opened his lips and said, "You guys are late." ”
Gu Pinyao remembered that someone had told her that Master Pu Zhen taught her that the Qinglian walking was the basic footwork of the Heavenly Medicine Sect, and it seemed that her long-separated master had a certain relationship with the hidden sect in front of her. I thought about it. She opened her mouth and asked, "I wonder if your sect has a disciple named Pu Zhen?" ”
"Pu Zhen?" The middle-aged man wondered why the woman in front of him asked like this, and searched carefully in his mind before saying, "There is no disciple surnamed Pu in the Heavenly Medicine Sect, I don't know what is wrong with the seniors?" ”
Yes, seniors, the Hidden Family is a place that pays great attention to the level of strength, and if you are strong, you will be long, this is a customary rule. So even though Gu Pinyao looked younger than him, the middle-aged man still respectfully called her a senior. And the young man who had offended her in a bad tone before was now hiding in the crowd with a pale face. Humbly bury your head. for fear of being pursued by Gu Pinyao.
"I have an old man who once practiced 'Qinglian Walking', and I heard that it was the basic footwork of Tianyimen, so I wanted to ask."
It's just that the middle-aged man shook his head suspiciously and said. "This is the first time that our Heavenly Doctor Sect has been born. None of us have left the forest for hundreds of years. I don't know who knows my footwork. Maybe it's just a similar name. ”
"Hmm." When Gu Pinyao heard this, he just nodded indifferently and said no more.
It's just that she didn't notice. Several old men in the depths of the crowd glanced at each other, their faces full of solemnity.
"Ahem, I don't know what your relationship is with this Yuan family? They've been wiped out? ”
Glancing at the neatly arranged pile of corpses not far away, the middle-aged man's expression was a little more gloomy at the moment, and he asked with a heavy heart. When they learned that something had happened to the Yuan family, they immediately left, but they didn't want to be too late, seeing such a tragic experience of the Yuan family, and knowing that it was the turbulent dark force that did it, they couldn't help but feel cold, hateful, and angry.
Just before Gu Pinyao could answer, Yuan Qingfeng, who was originally in the main house, heard the movement outside and walked out.
"In Xia Yuan Qingfeng, the one hundred and thirty-ninth generation head of the Yuan family, may I ask who the guests are?"
He didn't know the people in front of him, but looking at the clothes and temperament of these people, he also knew that they were hidden people.
"Yuan Qingfeng? Are you Yuan Ju's grandson? At this time, a Mai old man walked out of the crowd, looked at Yuan Qingfeng, whose face was somewhat similar to his old friend, and asked with uncertainty in his tone.
"Yes, you know my grandfather?" Even though he was still in a sad mood, Yuan Qingfeng knew that this was not the time for him to be vulnerable. Seeing that the person who came knew his grandfather, he thought that the other party was a friend and not an enemy, and the originally tense heartstrings were relaxed a little.
"I am Duan Changqing of the Heavenly Doctor Sect, your grandfather visited the Heavenly Doctor Sect with his father when he was young, and we met and became friends at that time. After he returned to Yuan's house, we still exchanged letters from time to time. When I was young, I also agreed with him that I would come to the Yuan family to find him if I had the opportunity, but I didn't expect to arrive this time, but I saw this situation, which made people sigh. ”
"My grandfather passed away 10 years ago, and he is still safe. It's just that no one thought that the Yuan family would suffer from this disaster, and the elders of the Heavenly Medicine Sect could come to visit, and Qingfeng was really grateful. I just don't know how you learned about the Yuan family's suffering? ”
"Two days ago, we received a letter from the Hidden Door Book League, and learned that the Xu, Luo, and Zhao families betrayed the original agreement and attacked the Yuan family frantically. So the head of the family agreed and sent us down the mountain to rescue, but I didn't expect it to be too late. ”
The Hidden Sect Book League is not a sect or family, but an organization, composed of highly respected idle people in the family's sect, which can be regarded as a medium to maintain the relationship between the families and sects of the Hidden Sect. If something happens to a family, they will immediately notify the people in the hidden door to react.
And now the experience of the old friend's family makes the old man feel a little emotional, this turbulent situation, even the Heavenly Doctor Sect has to break the routine and be born, it seems that it is a moment of great urgency.
"I don't know who this young lady is?" The strength of the woman in front of them was unfathomable, at least extremely tricky for them, and a few of their old fellows suspected that she had a connection to the person in the first place, and they would never be at ease if they did not find out who she was.
"It's me who was rude, Grandpa Duan. This is my friend, and I was able to get out of trouble this time thanks to her. Because Gu Pinyao didn't speak, Yuan Qingfeng didn't reveal her name, so he just introduced it so vaguely.
"Oh, I see." Lao Suo's original jealousy of Gu Pinyao did not dissipate because of these words, but he didn't say much about her identity, but said, "I don't know what the situation of the Yuan family is now?" ”
"The Yuan family, except for the breeze, there is no one alive. I was able to escape because my father pushed me into the secret passage of the family, and I was rescued by my friend to survive, and we had just come back from outside. ”
"The content of the letter is limited, can Qingfeng Xian's nephew tell us a little bit about the specific situation?" This is the middle-aged man who walked in from before and asked.
"I don't know who you are?"
"This is my descendant disciple, Duan Qingyang." The old man pinched his gray beard and said.
"It turned out to be Uncle Duan, disrespectful and disrespectful." After a pause in his tone, Yuan Qingfeng said, "Everyone should know the visions of recent years, zombies are coming, animals and plants are mutating, and the survival of human beings is becoming more and more difficult. A lot can't stand the silence. The lonely hermit family also began to be born one after another, wanting to develop in the troubled times. ”
Seeing that everyone nodded in agreement, Yuan Qingfeng continued to explain, "Not long ago, someone discovered a secret realm that contained a black crystal, which carried an unprecedented energy that could instantly improve people's skills or abilities. Although they cannot be completely absorbed by humans after being taken out of the secret realm, they can purify the zombie crystal nucleus, allowing people to absorb the energy in the crystal nucleus to increase their ability level and strength. However, everything is blessed and miscarred, such a thing is not completely harmless, whether it is directly absorbed by people or purified crystal nucleus, it will accumulate a certain substance in the human body, and the person who has the material matrix can control all creatures with this substance in their bodies, and let them become puppets to do things for him. ”
Hearing this, the middle-aged man frowned and asked, "Are you saying that the Xu, Luo, and Zhao families came to slaughter your Yuan family because they were controlled?" ”
"Exactly. That secret realm was deliberately led by the mastermind behind the scenes, aiming to infect them with the substance, and at the same time bring out the crystals inside and spread them to the family. ”
"Isn't that a waste of energy? Directly hand over the black crystals to the various families, and those who do not know the situation will also be infected. The middle-aged man was a little puzzled, and always felt that there were some loopholes in this matter.
Yuan Qingfeng also nodded approvingly, and said with a frown, "Actually, I don't understand, a lot of people died when I was looking for that kind of black crystal in the secret realm, and it stands to reason that the force behind it intends to let that thing spread, and it definitely won't be like this." ”
"Once the human body is close to dark matter in the secret realm, it will absorb it endlessly, and once the critical point is exceeded, the person will explode and die. So the people behind it did not choose to bring out the dark matter by them, but to lead the . Tempting them in, some people can directly absorb the dark matter crystals on the spot, and the small amount of dark matter they carry out can also infect the people of their family. However, it should have been an accident that so many people died inside. Otherwise, Hua Mian would not have been taken away by that person, it is estimated that the other party saw that there were fewer and fewer people left, and he couldn't stabilize it.
Gu Pinyao saw that everyone was puzzled, so he explained on the side. But when she said this, it attracted everyone's attention.
"I don't know how the seniors know?" Even though Yuan Qingfeng said that this woman was his friend, the middle-aged man would not regard her as Yuan Qingfeng's peer, and still asked politely.
"I have a certain connection to this substance." The specific Gu Pinyao didn't plan to go into details, and the fact that she was able to tell some things to Yuan Qingfeng didn't mean that she could tell anyone without reservation.
However, Yuan Qingfeng saw that Gu Pinyao had no desire to speak again. Wang, afraid of the embarrassment of the people of the Heavenly Doctor Sect, he spoke, "As far as I know, those hidden sect families who were born have that kind of substance in their bodies, and they all have a great chance of being controlled by the forces behind the scenes. The Yuan family is the first family to suffer, and it seems that their spearhead has slowly pointed at the hidden gate, and this matter must be discussed carefully with the people of the Book Alliance. Yuan Qingfeng also absorbed dark matter in the secret realm at the beginning, but there was nothing unusual in his body, he didn't know why, now Gu Pinyao appeared, and he asked her again when the two of them were alone.
"Go to City C."
Suddenly, Gu Pinyao opened his mouth and said to Yuan Qingfeng.
When the latter heard this, he looked back and asked suspiciously, "Why?" (To be continued......)
