Chapter 124: Who Is the Enemy? Who are the friends?

But anyone with common sense will realize that this place is not simple.

"What is this place?" I asked Ma Daoren.

"Don't worry, I'm safe with you. This is our shelter, and ordinary outsiders can't get in. ”

I thought to myself, yin and yang, tai chi, and gossip are all common patterns of Taoists, so it is estimated that only they will build the village into this shape.

I followed the Ma Dao people into the village, and soon found that this village was a little unusual, the village was very quiet, and there was no sound at all. It stands to reason that it is already afternoon, and it is not dark, although it is not too early to close the door to bed. The houses in the village are all wooden and tiled houses, which are somewhat antique, but the strange and uniform colors are very aesthetically pleasing.

The Madao took us to a house in the middle of the town. This house is the only one in the village that crosses the river, and the color is half black and half white, which seems to be deliberately balanced.

After entering the door, Xiao Shirong and his subordinates were arranged into a room, although the Diyin Knife loosened Xiao Shirong's binding, I don't know that he is also honest, or he was beaten enough just now, he did not continue to resist, but swaggered into the house as if he had arrived at his own house. The Earth Yin Knife also exited the house by itself, not knowing where it went.

So there were only two people left, Ma Dao and me. He led me into another room.

There was an old man in the house, who seemed to be waiting for us. He was dressed in a Taoist robe, his eyes were closed, his beard was white, and he sat on a futon with a whisk in his hand.

Judging by his appearance and age, he should be a member of Ma Daoren's master's generation, right? Didn't Ma Daoren say that his master died? Then this person may be his uncle or something.

I was figuring out what I should call him if I counted it like this, who knew that Ma Daoren opened his mouth and said, "Big brother, I'm back."

I said in my heart, big brother? Generally called that, it is not the heroes of the rivers and lakes who worship the handle, or the highest ranking one in the family, and the Ma Dao people don't seem to be the kind of people who like to worship the handle, right......

The old man opened his eyes and looked at me when he heard the sound, and his bright eyes did not match his old face at all, and even looked a little contradictory. His eyes are different from the kindness of Ma Daoren that makes people want to believe when they see it, and he really has the majesty of being a big brother.

He stared at me, and I almost called out big brother.

He stood up from the futon, his eyes still fixed on me, and he looked me a little uncomfortable.

He nodded slightly and asked, "Yuan Chu, is that him?"

Ma Daoren replied: "That's right, it's him."

The eldest brother continued to scan me with his eyes, and after a moment he spat out the word "good" to Ma Daoren, and then sat back on the futon and continued to meditate.

All this confused me, but the big brother on the other side seemed to be born with an unquestionable momentum, and I didn't dare to say anything.

The horse man led me out of the room. He must have known that I had a question for him, so he spoke first: "You go and rest with your friends for a while, and we'll talk about it after dinner."

I nodded, listened to his arrangement, and went back to Xiao Shirong's room.

Xiao Shirong heard someone come in, looked up from the bed and looked at me, and then lay down again.

I walked up to his bedside and asked him, "Do you know what they're doing?" Who is it? ”

He turned to me and asked, "Shouldn't you know them better than I do?"

"That's the one I know."

"Didn't he tell you?"

"No, why else I would have asked you, you know a lot."

"Hehe, they are Yin and Yang families, I know so much."

Yin-Yang Family... Yin-Yang Family? Ma Yuanchu, isn't he a Taoist? I only remember that there seemed to be a Yin-Yang family when a hundred schools of thought were contending at that time, and there were three sects, nine streams and ten families, and the Yin-Yang family seemed to have appeared together with the names of the Mo family, the Legalist family, and the Zongheng family.

Damn, these genres should not have been "deposed by the hundred schools" a long time ago, how can they be passed down to this day?

I wanted to ask something more, but Xiao Shirong had already turned his head, and it seemed that he didn't want to pay attention to me anymore.

Seeing him like this, although I had a lot of doubts in my heart, I didn't want to use a hot face to put a cold butt, so I also lay down on a wooden bed to rest. After so long in the carriage, it was so comfortable to be able to lie down.

After a while, someone came and called us for dinner. Xiao Shirong said that he was not hungry, so I took his men to follow. Speaking of which, it seems that I haven't seen him eat since I met him. Could it be that he secretly ate the flatbread while I was asleep?

When I arrived at the place, I saw that the food was really "green in front of me", all vegetarian dishes. It's meatless, but it's better than a dry cake.

Ma Dao and I sat together, and there was a Yin Knife on the table, and another person I had never met. I looked around, but I didn't see the "big brother", I used to hear that the Taoist family has a way of practicing "Bigu", I don't know if he is not.

"Let me introduce, this is the sibling of the Earth Yin Sword, the Tianyang Sword." Ma Daoren said.

The strange man nodded at me, and I realized that they did look alike. However, the two of them seem to be ordinary people except for practicing martial arts, and the others are ordinary people, although they are a little indifferent, but they don't seem to have anything to do with their names.

In order to get a little closer, I asked the Earth Yin Dao: "What kind of kung fu did you appear out of thin air today?" It just stunned me. ”

"It's nothing, it's just a trick." After that, he continued to bury his head in eating.

Soon, the two of them left after eating, and Ma Daoren and I were left at the table.

"These two people...... It's cold. ”

"Haha, the two of them have been practicing martial arts since they were children, and they have little contact with outsiders, so they don't have to care."

"Sword, sword, is that the real name of the two of them?"

"Well, both of them have the same name as their weapons, one practicing swords, and the other practicing swords."

"Oh...... I didn't expect that firearms have been used in wars these days, and some people have used cold weapons so slippery. ”

"Haha, don't talk about them. Why didn't the guy who came with you come to eat? ”

"He said he wasn't hungry, he didn't care about him, he didn't die of hunger."

"How do you know him? Did he bring you here? ”

"Well, he is my girlfriend's brother, his name is Xiao Shirong, I don't know why he knows so much about artifacts and elixirs, every time I ask him, he says that it was handed down from his ancestors, and it was he who suggested that we go to find medicine together to save my girlfriend and my mother."

"Hmm......" Ma Daoren stroked his beard, as if thinking.

"He knows that you are a yin and yang family." I added.

"Oh, is it? That's not surprising, maybe it's also passed down from his ancestors. ”

"Are you the Yin and Yang family of the Warring States?"

"Yes, we're in the same vein, although little is known about it. How did you find here? ”

"Oh, he took me to find the ovary tomb, and in the tomb a golden human figure made of a golden turtle gave me a copper plate, just a map of the megadomain, and we ended up here after matching the map. I've always wondered if that was the ovary. ”

"It really was providential. Yes, he is. Ma Daoren said, his face could not hide the joy.

"Xiao Shirong is also angry with me because the ovary didn't hand over the Zhaoyu Diagram to him."

"Oh, yes, haha. The ovary is the one who designed and built the tomb of Gaozu, and since he gave you the map, it means that he has allowed you to enter. ”

"But you saw it today, we searched for a long time and found nothing."

"It doesn't matter, I know where. Since you are open and honest with me, it doesn't matter if I tell you, our task is also arranged by the ovary, and the Yin and Yang family has been guarding the tomb of Gaozu here for thousands of years. ”

"That seems to ...... Our purpose is the opposite......"

"No, now that we know that he has agreed, we won't stop it, have a good rest today, and I'll take you there tomorrow."

"Huh? Are you sure? I couldn't believe it.

"Of course, what did I lie to you about. It's just that you can only go in by yourself, and we can't go in. ”

"Oh, okay." I wanted to ask him why he couldn't do it, but it must be related to the rules of this yin and yang family, so I can't ask more.

After eating, Ma Daoren didn't say anything other meaningful, and went back to rest by himself.

Actually, I have a lot of questions in my mind. I lay in bed and wondered what these things were all about.

But slowly, I began to doubt both of them at the same time.

First of all, I am most sure of the fact that I am a descendant of the Yellow Emperor's bloodline, although there is no way to verify it and even some nonsense, but Shenlong and Lao Long all say so, and those two want to use me. Is this the same with these two people now?

There is no doubt that Xiao Shirong is using me, and he has already explained on his face that only I can help him use the artifact and save his sister. But the others, whether it was the powerful ancestors in his mouth, or the abnormality that he came out of the ovary tomb, made me feel very strange, and there were many things that were still hidden from me.

And what about the Ma Dao people? He didn't talk much about it, but when we met, he said that I had something different about me, and I'm afraid he had already seen some clues. He's been nice to me, at least on the surface, but the secrets behind him seem so much more, and if I don't pretend to be unintentional and say that he's a yin and yang family during dinner, I'm afraid he won't tell me either. Moreover, it is not surprising that he appeared here at such a coincidental time, and according to him, managed to keep me safe.

But regardless of their stance, it doesn't seem to mean to hurt me so far, especially Xiao Shirong, who should still have a common goal to pursue.

Thinking of this, I remembered what Ma Daoren just said, tomorrow he will take us into the tomb of Gaozu, what will we face? If I succeed, am I one step closer to saving Xiao Fang?
