Seeing the long swords drawn by several foot merchants, Zhou Dehong realized that these people were simply disciples of the Iron Cloth Gate. But why did they come to the valley after that night, on certain days every year, in the guise of merchants? Why not come and find the surviving Zhou Tong? Also, why was he not embarrassed when he encountered these people in previous years, but why did they draw their swords against each other this year?

"It's not him," After the disciple led by him approached Zhou Dehong with the bell in his hand, the sound of the bell became weak, and when the bell approached Zhou Jiangwang, it immediately shook and made a piercing sound.

"It's this kid!"

"Catch him!"

"Be careful, don't let him run away!"

The four iron-clad disciples were about to arrest Zhou Jiangwang, who was almost stupid. Ten-year-old Zhou Jiangwang grew up in this poor countryside, and he had never seen a few people, and he was shy and responsible, so he had never seen this kind of scene at all.

Zhou Dehong suddenly understood that he didn't come to him in previous years because he didn't bring his son, and the bell seemed to only react to his son Zhou Jiangwang.

Zhou Dehong blocked his son behind him, hugged his fists and said, "You should be the Taoist leader of the Iron Cloth Gate, right?" ”

In fact, the people in the iron-clothed gate are not Taoist priests, and they are also born in Taoist robes for convenience, and a few people know that Zhou Dehong doesn't understand heretical ways, and they don't talk nonsense with him, so they directly ask him what is his relationship with this child?

Zhou Dehong said honestly: "This is the dog Jiang Wang. ”

The disciples of the iron-clad sect glanced at each other, and the leader asked, "Your son?" ”

Zhou Dehong nodded: "Yes." ”

The leader took out the bell again, and the bell still made a screeching sound when it approached Zhou Jiangwang. The man grabbed Zhou Jiangwang's arm again, looked at his fair skin, looked at his eyes carefully, and finally understood something, looked at Zhou Dehong and sneered: "You actually combine with the demon immortal." ”

……

At this point in the story, Zhou Dong paused, rolled up his sleeves, and showed Hu Shuntang and others the skin of his arms. Indeed, as an eighty-year-old man, Zhou Dongli's skin has no spots, and it is a miracle that he is still fair and delicate, is Zhou Dongli really a descendant of humans and fairies?

It's just that what are the descendants of this man and the demon fairy? Shemale fairy? Fairy people? Demon fairy?

Although Zhou Dongli presented the so-called evidence, Hu Shuntang and He Changqing were unwilling to believe it completely, because the Jianghe clan has always been a race that exists in myths and stories, just like the so-called demon clan in pagan myths and legends.

After Zhou Dong drank a cup of tea, he continued to tell-

Zhou Dehong didn't know what these disciples of the Iron Sect were going to do, but he still moved out of Zhou Tong, and bluntly said that after the big war here, only Zhou Tong survived. When several iron-clad disciples heard Zhou Tong's name, they immediately asked Zhou Dehong to take them to meet them.

After Zhou Dehong brought a few people back to the Tianquan Peninsula, he let those people see Zhou Tong, but he and his son were placed under house arrest and not allowed to leave the house. That night, there was a dispute between Zhou Tong and the rest of the disciples outside the door, as if Zhou Tong wanted to tell Zhou Dehong the truth, but the others refused.

After arguing for a long time, the door was opened by Zhou Tong, and Zhou Tong knelt directly on the ground after seeing Zhou Dehong, saying that he was sorry for Zhou Dehong, they were all deceived, and they were deceived by the people of the Tieyi Gate and the Jianghe Clan.

Zhou Dehong hurriedly picked up Zhou Tong and asked, "What's going on?" ”

Zhou Tong cried: "My master and brothers are just sacrifices, and the fight many years ago was just a transaction about blood sacrifices. ”

Zhou Dehong was confused, so he had to look at Zhou Tong in a daze, very dazed, blood sacrifice? Trade?

"It all stems from Hong Tie, which is a material for creating a divine weapon, and the method of making Hong Tie is only known to the Jianghe clan, and one of the most important reasons why the Tieyimen chased and killed the Jianghe clan was for Hong Tie," Zhou Tong cried, "I was deceived by my master, and my master and my brothers were deceived by other people in the same sect......"

From top to bottom, the Iron Cloak Gate is divided into the Secret Hall, the Yuan Fu Hall and the Taishan Hall, Zhou Tong's master is only one of the sixteen sons of the Taishan Hall Fu Demon, and he is also the most disciplined one, and he has long become a thorn in the side of the others in the Iron Cloak Gate. Because after thousands of years of wind and rain, the iron-clad gate has changed a little, and it is no longer as "unkind" as before, if the hunted demons can provide something valuable, they will often open the net, but Zhou Tong's master thinks that this practice is indulging the demons, so as long as the demons targeted by him will inevitably die.

If the Tieyi Gate wants to get Hong Tie, it makes no sense to directly use strong means, because once the Jianghe clan dies, they should not want to get Hong Tie again. Therefore, when Zhou Tong joined the Tieyi Sect and told about his experience in the Mohe generation, the Tieyi Gate knew the location of the Jiang River Clan's escape, but also understood that Zhou Tong's master would definitely go to cut the grass and eradicate the roots, so the Venerable of the Secret Hall decided to reach a private agreement with the Jiang River Clan to sacrifice Zhou Tong and his disciples to the Jiang River Clan in exchange for a steady stream of Hong Tie.

After hearing this, Zhou Dehong was completely stupid, but he was more concerned about what it meant to sacrifice? Didn't you say that the Jianghe clan didn't harm people? And Zhou Tong told Zhou Dehong that in fact, if the Jianghe clan wants to maintain its human form, it must go through the ritual of blood sacrifice, which must be carried out once every ten years, and the process is called "blood", that is, let the people of the Jianghe clan fight with ordinary mortals, and only after defeating mortals with their own strength, can they obtain the flesh and blood of the other party, and use the flesh and blood of the other party to maintain their human form, otherwise their original appearance is just a group of ugly river spirits.

After Zhou Dehong understood everything, his mind was chaotic, and what he was most confused about was that there seemed to be no so-called righteous party in this matter, and the ironclad men who originally thought they were righteous were just a group of hypocrites for profit. The river clan who claims to be the effect rather than the cause is still a bloodthirsty monster.

Zhou Tong told Zhou Dehong that although the children of the combination of people and the Jianghe clan can live on land, they also have to go through the ritual of blood sacrifice, if they don't do this, the child will also become a monster and ugly, and it must be carried out once every ten years, but as for how to do it, the specific process is only clear to the Jianghe clan.

Zhou Dehong almost didn't sit on the ground, he didn't expect the truth to be like this at all, now that the child is ten years old, so to speak, if you don't hurry up and carry out that cruel blood snatching, the child will become an ugly monster?

Zhou Daodao: "Brother Tou, there is only one way to plan now, that is, let your son take us to see the Jianghe Clan, because only he can enter the gate of the Shuizheng Palace, and as long as we are with him, with his key, we can also move freely in the territory of the Jianghe Clan, you can not only save your son, but also see your wife, and the people of the Tieyi Gate can also go to the Shuizheng Palace to return to their Hong Tie, killing three birds with one stone." ”

Zhou Dehong thought for a long time and agreed to Zhou Tong's request.

"That's the story, and the whole story is told by my grandfather's father, Zhou Dehong, because how he entered the Dragon Palace that time, and what happened, my grandfather doesn't remember at all, only that they brought back these Hong Tie," Zhou Dong said, and glanced at the Hong Tie on the table again, "Only these Hong Tie are left." ”

Wei Chiran frowned and looked at Hu Shuntang and He Changqing, feeling that this story was not bizarre, it was simply a dark version of a fairy tale, it was completely like Zhou Dong, a bad old man, who made it up by himself, but Hong Tie was real, how to explain this?

Hu Shuntang didn't question it, but just asked: "Mr. Zhou, do you remember the location of the Tianquan Peninsula?" Can you mark us on the map? ”

When Zhou Dong heard this, he immediately asked, "Are you going to find Hong Tie too?" ”

"No," He Changqing said immediately, "We don't have any interest in Hong Tie, we're just going for another thing, and we won't target the Jianghe Clan, you can rest assured." ”

Zhou Dong seemed to understand: "You are not from the Iron Sect?" ”

Wei Chiran said: "Of course not, but after we go this time, if we really enter the Dragon Palace, we will tell you what is there, but your Zhou family's wishes." ”

Zhou Dong clenched his fists and said, "Please don't break your word." As he spoke, tears were already in his eyes.

After getting the marked map, the three of them left Zhou Dong's home, but they didn't go far, they found a nearby kebab restaurant to sit down, and after ordering some barbecue beer, the three began to discuss what to do next.

He Changqing picked up the thermos pot and put it down: "I don't think Zhou Dong's story is credible, it's just too bizarre." ”

Hu Shuntang nodded: "I feel the same way, and it doesn't make sense logically." ”

Wei Chiran picked up a string of beef: "The most critical problem is that if Zhou Dongli is convinced of this story, then he will definitely insist on going with us this time, for two reasons, one is that if the Zhou family really wants to know what the Dragon Palace is like, future generations will definitely want to witness it with their own eyes, and second, according to Zhou Dong's story, to enter the Shuizheng Palace, there must be a special key, that is, the descendants of the combination of humans and demon immortals, that is, Zhou Dong himself." ”

Hu Shuntang said: "Yes, if the story is true, if he himself believes that those are true, then he will insist on walking." ”

He Changqing took a sip of tea: "The most important thing is that I believe that we are not the first people to come to Zhou Dong, after all, once Hong Tie appears, he will definitely attract the attention of other people, and Zhou Dong seems to be unguarded, and when he sees us coming to ask Hong Tie, he will tell it all, which is also unreasonable." ”

Hu Shuntang and Wei Chi looked at each other, both of them suddenly thought of something, immediately got up and walked towards Zhou Dong's house, knocked on the door again, but no one opened the door, the three of them could only break in, only to find that the house was empty, and the Hong Tie in the safe had disappeared.

"Search the whole house," Hu Shuntang finished speaking, and began to check the safe first, while Wei Chiran and He Changqing began to search the rest of the house.

Soon, Wei Chiran found a corpse under the bed in the bedroom, the corpse was an old man, who looked to be about eighty years old, and there was a strangulation mark on his neck, which was obviously strangled to death.

He Changqing also found some documents in the house, judging from the photos of the documents, the body under the bed was Zhou Dongli himself, that is to say, the Zhou Dongli they saw before was someone pretending.

Hu Shuntang looked at the empty safe: "Someone should have come here before us, asked what happened from Zhou Dong, and was about to leave to take Hong Tie, but we came, so he had to pretend to be Zhou Dong, and made up a fake story for us based on the real story." ”

Wei Chiran disagreed: "According to your speculation, the murderer should have changed his appearance as an old man, but under the premise that we suddenly came to the door, the murderer didn't have time to change his appearance, right?" ”

As he spoke, Wei Chiran looked at He Changqing, who was also proficient in disguise techniques.

He Changqing affirmed: "That person didn't change his face, I can see that it is a real old man." ”

In this way, it was another eighty-year-old man who killed the eighty-year-old Zhou Dong, who could this old man be?
