Chapter 616: Investigation

I breathed a sigh of relief: "I see." (Fast update, no ads, just come) just tell us no? Why wear a shroud and be so sneaky in the middle of the night? ”

The old men said: "We only know that these two masters are young people, but we don't know the specifics. This kind of thing is not good to be asked all over the world on the street, so I have to use this method to test it. Thankfully, I've finally found the two of you. ”

Wushuang snorted and said, "You guys go home with the two of us, let's sit down and talk." ”

The old men looked grateful. He followed us and walked towards my house.

I listened to their conversations along the way, and I could feel that they were indeed young people, old people in their seventies and eighties, and would not be interested in what they said.

By the time we got downstairs, the old men were out of breath.

I looked at them and said, "Why are you also cultivators, why are your physical strength so poor?" Don't you usually practice? ”

The old men explained, "Why don't you practice? We used to be strong and strong, but since a few months ago, after inexplicably getting old, so many years of penance are gone. Now we are simply wasted. ”

I nodded, thinking: it seems that these people have lost more than just their lives.

We stayed downstairs for a while, then led the old people upstairs and back to the house.

Wushuang and I let them rest for a while and eat a little. Then he asked, "Is there any reason why you have suddenly become so old?" ”

The old men said, "There must be a reason, but we don't know. For no reason, it suddenly became like this. Or perhaps, we have done something to suffer this kind of retribution. But with so many things going on every day, who knows which one. ”

Wushuang said: "Then tell me, what do you all have in common?" Find out the common ground, and you will find the reason. ”

The old men said with sad faces, "We have discussed it countless times along the way. Except that we are all cultivators, we really can't find anything similar. There are a few of us, and we don't even have the same surname. ”

Wushuang said: "In this way, you are both cultivators, which may be the similarity. We're afraid we'll have to start from this place. ”

When I heard Wushuang say this, my heart moved: "How do I feel, this matter is a bit like when the wizards were in the underworld, and all the cultivators had to evolve the soul pool after death?" ”

Wushuang said, "Yes." The calamities of cultivators are endless. ”

I sat down and asked casually, "How do you know that Wushuang and I are in Zhengzhou?" How do you know the two of us can help you? Who told you that? ”

The old people said babblingly: "It was a fat man who said it, we saw him a few years ago, and at that time he said that there are two great immortals in Zhengzhou, which are unprecedented in ancient times." He also encouraged us to practice hard, and sooner or later, we can also become immortals and gods. ”

When I heard this, I couldn't help but ask, "Is this fat man still leading a group of little Taoist priests?" ”

The old people nodded again and again and asked, "So, you two know that fat man?" ”

I nodded, "How many people has he been talking to about the two of us?" ”

The old man said: "That Taoist master talks about this everywhere he goes, and we cultivators also aim to become immortals, and when I heard that there are really people in the world who have cultivated, I am naturally excited, and the deeds of the two of you have also been passed down by word of mouth by us and carried forward." ”

Wushuang walked to my side, looked at the old people and said, "The top priority now is to find out the reason why you suddenly lost your lifespan. What a fat guy or something, don't bother with it. ”

The old people said yes again and again, and then glared and asked, "How to check?" ”

Wushuang thought for a moment and said, "In this way, I'll register you first." A few of you write about it. Your name, your birthday, and your home address......"

I was holding a pen and about to memorize. A few old men took out the household registration book from their pockets. He handed it to the two of us and said, "It's all here." ”

I was stunned for a moment, then opened the household register. After all, a cultivator is also half a monk, and it is really strange to carry a household registration book with him.

The old men seemed to see my confusion and explained, "Originally, we didn't want to bring the household registration book. The main reason is that we have been concentrating on cultivation over the years, not asking about the world, our ID cards have long been lost, and we need to take a train to Zhengzhou, so we have to take the household registration book and open the certificate all the way. ”

I nodded. At this time, it can be seen that the household registration book of a cultivator is different from that of ordinary people after all.

In addition to the official projects, there are also those who have painted themselves. Write your own eight characters, life numbers and the like.

I handed the household registration book to Wushuang: "Do you know the eight characters?" Your dad didn't teach me this. ”

Wushuang took the household registration book and said, "I don't understand either." ”

The old man sitting across from us said, "This principle of reading the eight characters is ......"

I waved my hand: "Wait, it's not a matter of eight characters." ”

I pointed to the household registration books and said, "The addresses of you seem to be interesting." ”

Wushuang frowned and asked, "What's the point?" Everyone is different. ”

I pointed to the household registration book and said, "You see, their addresses go all the way to the north, starting from Zhengzhou, and they can almost be arranged in a line. ”

Wushuang nodded: "You say that, it seems to have some truth." ”

I asked the old men, "How many of you have suddenly become so old. Do you remember the day you were recruited? I want exactly. ”

The old man replied, "It's all written down in the back of the household register." ”

I turned the last page and lined up the book by day. At this time, it can be clearly seen that these old men have been recruited in turn from south to north.

Wushuang said: "Could it be that the same person is doing this? ”

I nodded: "It's the same person." And this person started from Zhengzhou and walked north along the road. ”

Wushuang asked, "Where is his next stop?" ”

I looked at the route and said, "Taiyuan." ”

Wushuang chuckled: "This person seems to be destined for us." From Zhengzhou to Taiyuan. What do you think? Shall we go to Taiyuan to catch him? ”

I nodded and said, "The two of us have to leave quickly, and then speed up our pace and rush to Taiyuan." Fight to intercept him here. ”

Wushuang asked me, "Will he meet us?" ”

I said, "Since he specializes in dealing with cultivators, the two of us are cultivators, and there is no reason why he should not show his face. ”

Wushuang thought for a moment and said, "If the two of us are bait." You have to suppress your breath. Otherwise, I'm afraid I'll scare him away. ”

I nodded: "This is natural." Alright, let's go. ”

Wushuang looked at the old men and asked, "What should they do?" ”

I thought about it, looked at the old people with a smile, and asked, "You are very weak now, after all, you are not suitable for long journeys." How about I get you a job in Zhengzhou? When Wushuang and I find out why you are getting old, we will come back to pick you up. ”

These old men naturally had no objection to my proposal, and happily agreed.

Then, Wushuang and I took these old people overnight and walked to the amusement city.

At this time, it was not yet dawn, and Lao Liu was still asleep.

Musou and I started slamming on the door.

Lao Liu opened the door scoldingly, poked his head out, squinted his eyes and began to scold: "Which bastard, he doesn't sleep in the middle of the night." Knock what knock? ”

I wasn't annoyed, and said, "Lao Liu, I'm here to send you business." ”

Lao Liu heard that it was my voice, reached out and took out a flashlight, and shone it on my face brightly: "Xu You? What do you want to do? You like to go to work, you can't come so early. ”

I said, "I'm not here to work. I'm here to introduce you to workers. ”

Lao Liu waved his hand: "Introduce fart workers." Why do I need so many workers? You have to pay your salary. ”

I explained, "You don't need a salary, you just have to eat and live." ”

Then I gave in and exposed the old men: "These people look a little older, but they are scary and experienced. It's also terrifying. Playing the imp in the amusement city is sure to be a success. The point is, they don't want to be paid. ”

Lao Liu took the flashlight and shone it one by one, nodded, and then said: "There is no good food to eat at my place, you have to think clearly." ”

Those old men looked indifferent: "We cultivators, eating and drinking, refining gold and refining bones, what is this?" ”

Lao Liu scolded two more sentences: "Grandma's, there are workers who shouldn't be introduced in the middle of the night." The old man was already sleepless. ”

After Wushuang and I settled the old people, we called out the one who was in charge. I asked, "What, fellow Daoist, what's your name?" ”

The man said, "My name is Wang Heng." ”

I nodded: "Wang Heng, you have to follow me and Wushuang to Taiyuan, although you haven't seen the person who harmed you, but if you see it again, you will definitely have a feeling." You've got to follow us. ”

Wang Heng was very happy: "Okay, I'll go sell tickets." ”

I shook my head: "What are you buying tickets for?" Let's go. ”

Then, I winked at Wushuang. The two of us were on one side, holding Wang Heng's two arms. Rushed forward.

Along the way, the wind whined, and the two of us were extremely fast, which scared Wang Heng so much that he didn't say a word.

At noon the next day, Taiyuan City was already far away. At this time, the number of pedestrians on the side of the road has gradually increased. We put Wang Heng down and began to walk in the direction of Taiyuan step by step.

Wang Heng said vigorously: "You two are indeed immortals. To be able to see an immortal once in this life is really in vain. ”

Wushuang and I didn't react much to this compliment. He just smiled slightly.
