Chapter 4: Do you dare to pick up the bargain
The sky gradually darkened, the people of the Shangguan family did not move, Qian Ming was puzzled why they didn't come to catch him, and suddenly saw the fire in the middle of the East Mountain, and then fixed his eyes to see that it was the Shangguan family!
"I said these people were so kind to let me go, it turns out that these guys have a fire in their own house!"
These people at the foot of the mountain must have been ordered to go back to put out the fire, and they are not people who are kind for no reason.
Qian Ming looked at the fire of the Shangguan family in a daze, the fire was quite large, and the flames were soaring, it seemed that it was the rhythm of burning the Shangguan family to the sky. I don't know how this fire started? Could it be that the Shangguan family has very few members of the family, and no one has put out the fire? Otherwise, how could it have burned so big?
"Rhubarb, do you want us to take a closer look?"
Yuandezhen was lifeless, as if there was no fire at all. The Shangguan family is a terrible behemoth, a little move of a finger can decide the life and death of an ordinary family, most of the simple people instinctively have a sense of fear, afraid of suffering from the disaster of the pond fish, close the door early and go to bed.
There were also some capable people in the town who had seen some of the world, and they thought about this sky-high fire, and they came to a place about a mile away from Shangguan's family, and they didn't dare to make a big move for the time being, just watched the fire in silence.
About one mile of the buildings in the middle of the mountain is the range that the city lord of Xiadi County has assigned to the people of Yuande County, and once anyone enters the range of one mile of the Shangguan family, the Shangguan family has the right to dispose of it at will. Someone had accidentally broken into the town and didn't come back for a long time, and later a hunter found his bones abandoned in a wild mountain nest.
Now that the Shangguan family is on fire, this rule is like a heavy chain that still invisibly binds everyone.
The continuous Shangguan family's giant mansion in the middle of the mountain was like a huge monster in the firelight, overwhelming people.
"Brother Jing isn't leaving?" said Ah Yun, the leper head in the town, in a low voice.
When he said "go", he didn't dare to say that he was going back to the town or going to Shangguan's house.
These capable people in the town are also very afraid of the Shangguan family, for fear that a word they say a mile away will be heard by a mysterious master of the Shangguan family, and it will cause thunder, so they are careful to speak.
Li Jing looked at the fire and said, "Wait!"
Although he is the leader of this group of people in Yuande Town, he also feels very dangerous, but when he thinks of the large number of treasures of the Shangguan family, he is reluctant to leave.
Between gains and losses, he saw Qian Ming appear out of the corner of his eye, and couldn't help but be overjoyed, and said, "Qian Xiaodaoyou, hey,"
said that it was too late, it was fast, a black shadow rushed up and bit Li Jing's buttocks, Li Jing was in pain, screamed and jumped away, poor Li Jing is also a third-order warrior, and he was actually bitten off a piece of meat alive by a dog.
Li Jing was annoyed, brandished the saber in his hand and slashed at the dog, after the dog became a demon, he was very clever, and ran around a few times and ran behind Li Jing's ass to take a bite.
"Squeak!"
"Oops!"
Another bloody piece of flesh and clothing was torn off.
Generally, human beginner Yuan Qi stage monks, their comprehensive strength is not as good as that of third-order warriors, Da Huang has just entered the demon stage, and he also belongs to the beginner Yuan Qi stage demon beasts, but he can easily abuse Li Jing, the agility, speed and strength of demon beasts are much stronger than human beings, this is the difference between humans and demons.
"Qian Xiaodaoyou, stop your dog!" Li Jing said hurriedly.
Qian Ming was about to stop the rhubarb, but when he saw that Li Jing wanted to cut the rhubarb and refused to scream, he saw that the rhubarb took advantage of it at this moment, and hurriedly said righteously: "Rhubarb, stop, no matter how big the thing is, you can't bite people casually!"
Rhubarb squinted at Li Jing, still very unhappy.
"Boy, I'm going to catch you in front of all the beauties, whip you hard, pull you out a piece of, and let your kid experience what it's like to have that kind of image!"
Qian Ming nodded in approval, what Li Jing did in Zuiyue Tower was very excessive, if a human being was changed to let him fiddle like this, and he would shoot a string of farts, I am afraid that he would kill Li Jing, the bastard, rhubarb, this is considered benevolence and righteousness.
Li Jing waved his hand again and again and said, "Don't dare, don't dare." ”
Seeing that Rhubarb was no longer chasing him, he said, "Isn't Little Daoist Qian going there?"
He glanced at the Shangguan family mysteriously, he felt that it was a bit useful to pull Qian Ming, after all, he was a person from Mingyueguan, and he might have some scruples about acting in the Shangguan family, and they might be safer.
Of course Qian Ming wanted to go when he came here, but for the Shangguan family, Mingyueguan was also very jealous, and he didn't know what would happen. At the beginning, the master Qingsong Daoren found an excuse to visit this mysterious family, but the other party only sent it out politely after receiving it from the housekeeper, and the heart of defense was extremely heavy.
Mysteries represent unknown dangers most of the time.
"Wait, let's see!" Qian Ming said.
The fire in Shangguan's house has been burning for several hours, and seventy percent of the houses are on fire, probably the people inside are trying their best to put out the fire, and now the fire is gradually decreasing.
Qian Ming waited for a while, and felt that the momentum had gone, the fire had been controlled, and it was estimated that there was no chance, so he shook his head and left automatically.
After walking a hundred steps, Li Jing said behind him: "Little Taoist Qian, look!"
The fire began to spread again, and the large houses that had not been on fire before were also on fire, and the few houses that had been extinguished were burning again.
What does that mean? Someone set the fire on purpose? Who is setting the fire on purpose? Insider? Outsider?
Li Jing said: "What's the matter? Let's take a look?"
Qian Ming didn't know that he was pulling himself to borrow the signboard of Mingyueguan to add some safety components, and he didn't want to agree, but thinking that this guy didn't run too fast just now, and it was no big deal, he agreed in a flash.
Qian Ming said: "Let's go, go and see!"
Li Jing hurriedly followed and shouted, "The big guy has followed!"
Although Li Jing is the boss of these splashes, the fact is too big, the consequences are too serious, and not everyone is willing to listen to him.
As soon as he finished speaking, a few people immediately jumped out.
"Brother Li, my eighty-year-old mother is still at home and still has to be raised, so I won't go. ”
"Brother Jing, my baby is only two years old, and I won't go. ”
"Brother Li, take care!"
There were also people who left without making a sound, originally about a dozen people, five or six people returned to the town, and the other three or four people stood in place, neither daring to follow the past, nor willing to go back like this, still standing in place with all kinds of entanglements, and when they thought clearly, they didn't know how long it would take, and in the end only five people followed, so angry that Li Jing scolded.
Qian Ming shook his head and said: "Don't scold, don't scold, it's hard to say whether it's right or not." ”
Now there are a total of seven people, Qian Ming's junior Yuan Qi monk, Li Jing's third-order warrior, the three brothers of the Gu family, Qian Ming knows, Gu Da's second-order warrior, Gu Er, Gu San's are all first-order warriors, this Gu family is also the poorest family in Yuande Town, and they do all kinds of dangerous things on weekdays to collect medicine and hunt fierce beasts, in short, as long as they have wealth, they don't care about any danger at all, and they are the ruthless characters who have the courage to fight for their lives even if they want to break through the sea of swords. The other two, the squint-eyed Chen Yuan first-order warrior and the camel Zhao Qi first-order warrior, these two people Qian Ming are not familiar with.
Qian Ming didn't have any moral discomfort at all about going to the Shangguan family to gamble on his luck, if it wasn't for this sudden fire today, he wouldn't know what to suffer, although he was not wrong at all.
Although the Shangguan family is mysterious and powerful, it is definitely not bad or good, there have been at least ten homicides related to the Shangguan family in the past ten years, most of them are Shangguan family to grab all kinds of treasures, elixirs to kill people, among which the Yuezhu uncle of Mingyueguan may also be one of them, four years ago, Yuezhu Dao Chang went through a lot of hardships, risked all kinds of lives, picked a thousand-year-old strange flower from the northern cold ice field, and rushed back to the wind and food, and saw home, but disappeared in Yuande Town at the door of his home.
Mingyueguan was a little suspicious of the Shangguan family, because only the Shangguan family in Yuande Town could threaten Bizhu, and the fact that the Qingsong Dao people visited the Shangguan family was also to explore the truth of these things, but the other party was very cautious, and found nothing.
This has always been a major concern of Mingyueguan.
