Chapter 157: The Ke Family's Past
So, Yun Mo followed behind Kukang and quietly walked in. 35xs
Soon the two of them came to an open place.
Yun Mo raised his eyes and saw that although this place was empty, there was an aura of slaughter, the surrounding area was overgrown with weeds, and the walls were full of various traces, especially the dark red traces, which seemed to show the terrible battle here!
"This is the place where the city lord sheds blood!"
Looking at a location, Ku Kang's voice trembled a little, and his eyes were gloomy.
"The fighting aura here, to this day, can still exist in the slightest, it seems that the strength of that city lord is very strong!"
In this regard, Yun Mo couldn't help but sigh.
"Alas, although the strength of the city lord is only at the level of the first entry into the Xuan Pulse Realm, the pulse is strong, and as soon as he makes a move, it is like a surging river, endless. ”
It seemed to recall the battle posture of the city lord back then, and Kukang's eyes were shining.
"Back then, when the city lord was in his prime, he fought against three people of the same rank in one day, and finally defeated two people and drew one, which caused a sensation in the entire Beixiao City. As a result, he also gained his own marriage, and under the instruction of the previous old city lord, he married the other party's daughter and became the new city lord. ”
"Powerful and young and promising, it is indeed a pleasant thing in life!" Hearing this, Yun Mo couldn't help but nod in admiration.
"Actually, the lord of the city doesn't like the position of the lord of the city. ”
At this time, Ku Kang sighed, "Alas, but in order for Beixiao City not to fall into the hands of the Ke family, he has to shoulder the position of the city lord." ”
"What do you mean?"
Yun Mo frowned, as if he realized something, "Could it be that the Ke family did something before?"
"Have you ever heard of the Freedom Door?"
Kukang suddenly mentioned the name. 35xs
Comfortable door?
Yun Mo was stunned for a moment, then shook his head, "I haven't heard of it!"
"Speaking of which, I don't know much about this sect, but I know that they are very powerful, and although they are not well-known on the mainland, they are definitely a rather terrifying existence!"
Ku Kang slowly explained, "It is said that the ancestors of the Ke family are related to that sect. And their family used to be the city lord of Beixiao City a hundred years ago, but then their family's ancestor was beheaded, and then the city lord of Beixiao City also changed hands, went around and around, and finally came to the previous city lord. During their reign as the lord of the city, they once opened up territory, with Beixiao City as the center, and dominated more than a dozen surrounding cities. ”
"Their ancestors are so powerful?"
Yun Mo looked puzzled, "Then their ancestor's strength should be at the peak of the Xuanmai Realm, right?"
"Probably more than that!"
Ku Kang's expression was grim, "At that time, the cultivation world was also relatively prosperous, among which there were not a few powerhouses in the Xuanmai Realm, and if you want to dominate more than a dozen cities in one go, it should be at least at the peak of the Xuanmai Realm, or even in the higher realm of the Xuanmai Realm!"
"But though they have a considerable amount of territory, they rule in a more brutal manner, with expropriation, and in the land of fish, and they seem to be searching for something all day long, which makes the people panic. ”
"If you do much injustice, you will be killed. It didn't take long for them to be wiped out by a mysterious person, but the Ke family did not die out because of this, but took root in Beixiao City, and only rose in recent years!"
Listening to the secret story told by Ku Kang, Yun Mo couldn't help but sigh with emotion.
"No wonder their Ke family is so arrogant, it turns out that their ancestors are so good. Yun Mo nodded, then shook his head again, "But after all, this continent is invincible to evil, and they finally got retribution!"
"Evil prevails over good?"
Hearing this word, Ku Kang actually shook his head with a wry smile, "If that's the case, how good it would be!"
Yun Mo knew what he was feeling, and immediately said firmly, "Don't worry, the truth of this case will definitely come out!"
Then, the two of them began to grope their way here.
Three years will wear out many things, such as various traces, which have become blurred after being exposed to the wind and sun.
After looking for most of the day, the two finally had to choose to give up.
"That's not right!"
Suddenly, while passing by a dilapidated hall, Kukang's eyes froze, and he looked inside solemnly.
"What's wrong?
Seeing this, Yun Mo asked.
After a while, Ku Kang pointed inside, his eyes flickering slightly, as if he was not sure, "I remember that there seem to be two paintings hanging here, why are they gone?"
"Will someone take it?"
Yun Mo asked rhetorically.
"Impossible!"
Ku Kang shook his head, "There was such a bloody case here, where would anyone dare to approach it? Even the people who originally lived around it moved out in the days after the bloody crime. And I've sent people to guard here for half a year, and I haven't found anyone other than them approaching here!"
Suddenly, Yun Mo seemed to think of something, and hurriedly asked, "Are there any other paintings in the City Lord's Mansion?"
"Yes!"
So Ku Kang took Yun Mo to continue looking here, but to his surprise, all the paintings here were gone, as if they had evaporated!
Looking at the dust on the wall, Yun Mo said lightly, "If my guess is correct, those paintings should have disappeared a long time ago! If the paintings on this wall have disappeared recently, their dust should be different from the surroundings." But now the dust on this wall is almost the same, it must be caused by the dust together!"
Yun Mo's explanation was agreed by Ku Kang, who nodded, "You're right. It seems that I was negligent. ”
"No!"
Turning around, Yun Mo looked directly at Ku Kang, and said calmly, "I think someone did it on purpose, maybe the key to solving the case is in those paintings!"
"But it's just a few paintings? How is that possible?"
Kukang was a little incomprehensible.
In this regard, Yun Mo shook his head, "Although I don't know what those paintings do at the moment, but there are so many things, only they have disappeared inexplicably, I think it's no accident." ”
"That's right!"
Ku Kang nodded, and then looked at the various things around him, "These antique vases and the like are worth as much as those paintings!"
"What is the origin of those paintings?"
Yun Mo was silent for a moment, "Maybe we can start with their origins?"
"This-"
Ku Kang thought for a while, and finally shook his head, "I don't know, I have the impression that these paintings seem to have existed for a long time, and even this city lord's mansion is some years old, except for a small amount of repairs, the rest of the interior decoration has hardly changed!"
Don't know where it came from?
Yun Mo's heart moved, and then he took over and said, "You just said that this City Lord's Mansion has been some years, how many years?"
"It's probably a hundred years old!" Ku Kang replied, "If I'm right, it seems that this City Lord's Mansion was built by the ancestors of the Ke family. ”
Something to do with the Ke family?
Yun Mo's eyes froze, and he continued to speculate, "Could it be that those paintings are also the things of the Ke family?"
"-There is a possibility!"
Ku Kang nodded hesitantly, and then said in confusion, "Could it be that they had a premeditated plan? It's just that after a hundred years, such a long time, just to destroy the City Lord's Mansion family? This seems a little unreasonable!"
"Maybe—"
Yun Mo shook his head, "Maybe it wasn't necessarily a deliberate plan, but I accidentally discovered the secret of the City Lord's Mansion painting at some point-"
At this moment, Yun Mo was shocked, as if he had expected something terrible, and let out an exclamation.
"Not good!"
