Chapter 236: Strange
The hateful people who have removed the surname have let him succeed again!" Zhang Lingmeng said angrily.
"But then again, if you don't run around, young master, there will be no chance for the people of the clan to kidnap you. Zhang Yan added.
"Yes, Haotian, where did you go yesterday and what are you doing?"
Zhang Haotian felt that there was nothing to hide, so he told everything that happened yesterday and the rumors he heard. And it mentioned the plague and the incident of Immortal Guyun that happened in Duyunli twenty years ago, which attracted Zhang Lingmeng's attention.
"There was a plague here twenty years ago? Uncle Zhang, do you know the specific situation?"
"Well, I've heard a little, but I'm not a local, and I didn't come here twenty years ago, so I don't know much about what happened then. ”
"Oh, that's it! The fairy Gu Yun in this story is really a great benefactor in Duyun!" Zhang Lingmeng said thoughtfully, "It's also a mysterious woman!"
"I've also heard of Immortal Gu Yun, I think it was probably a medical woman who happened to be in the clouds and happened to encounter this plague to have this kind deed. Zhang said.
"Passing by, I don't know, I heard that Jing Lao say that that Immortal Gu Yun seems to have known the Lord of Zhufang Pagoda for a long time. ”
"I don't know. ”
"Who is Jing Lao? How did he know so much. Zhang Lingmeng asked.
He said that he was a friend of the old tower master, and he was also a big man in Duyun in the past. But now retired and out of business. Zhang Haotian replied.
"Oh!"
"Young Master Haotian, you have looked for Jing Lao, so is he in good health recently?"
"Very good, huh, what, Uncle Zhang, do you know?"
"Well, when I first came to Duyunli, he hadn't retired from Zhufang Pagoda, and I was taken care of by him, so I'm still very grateful to him, and I'll visit him another day. ”
This is the end of the chatter, as the three of them also happen to be back in the Demon Slayer branch. Zhang Haotian, who was tired, hurriedly ran in to change his clothes and eat, after all, what happened in the past few days was a bit annoying.
After returning to the room, Zhang Haotian was about to lie down and rest, but there was a knock on the door.
Could it be that Zhang Jue is back? Zhang Haotian thought so, so he had to get out of bed and open the door.
The door opened, but it was Zhang Lingmeng who came in.
"Didn't disturb your rest, did you?" asked Zhang Lingmeng.
"No, sister, just say what you have to do!" Zhang Haotian said.
Zhang Lingmeng suddenly looked at Zhang Haotian with strange eyes, and babbled: "Sister, don't you usually call me by my name? Is this you? So polite." ”
“......”
"Okay, don't talk nonsense, I'll talk to you about business. I have some indescribable doubts about what happened in the past few days. Originally, I wanted to tell Uncle Zhang Lun, but when he went out, I wanted to hear your opinion. Zhang Lingmeng began to get to the point.
"Huh? Zhang Haotian sat down to listen with interest, and it just so happened that he also had some doubts.
"I think there's something strange about the clansmen and demons. ”
"I also feel that you continue. ”
"Strange one, we just caught the demon spirit, except for the surname of the clansman rushed to Duyunli that night, so well-informed? Okay, just assume that he is well-informed, but it will take some time to come to Duyunli from other places, it will take me a few days to take a carriage, and he will arrive so soon?"
"Maybe he wasn't far from this place in Duyunli at the time?"
"Such a coincidence? Okay, let me say it again, think about the scene of our blood sacrifice mountain demon master Lingli at that time, the elites of the whole clan were present, but they couldn't find that the people with the surname were entering the scene, and a few little spies of the demon extermination team on our side were able to find the infiltration of the people with the surname at the border, could it be that the elite of our Zhang family might as well cross the clouds to exterminate the demon team?"
"Maybe he was careless?"
"Careless? Such a coincidence? Okay, let me say it again, after the little demon spirit was caught by us, she was actually in a coma for two days and two nights, I admit that it may be that Uncle Zhang Lun's blood peak stone powder is a little heavy, and the little demon spirit is too young and too young, so it is not strange that she has been in a coma for so long.
"But the strange rescue was just after the people of the clan had just informed us of the exchange of hostages last night, and we went to Zhufang Pagoda to return to the little demon spirit, but the little demon spirit just woke up, and confessed all the things clearly and without reservation. ”
"You're trying to say that she's probably been pretending to be unconscious in order to drag it to the Clansman to rescue her?"
"That's what I think. Then the question arises, how does the little demon know that someone will come to save her? Could it be that all this is under her control? Also, when the hostages were exchanged just now, I found a detail, that is, the little demon spirit naturally took the hand of the people with the surname and left with him.
"If it were you, would you let a stranger drag your hand away without reservation or the slightest guard? Yes, the people with the surname are here to save her, but that doesn't mean that the strangers have to break the safe distance!"
Zhang Haotian's face immediately became solemn. After listening to his sister's analysis, he suddenly thought of the incident in that room he stayed with Er Yan last night.
"I remember last night when Er Yan said, 'I saw that the furniture was quite complete and clean, but it looked like I had lived for a long time!', could this girl be true? Oh! I remember that there was a little girl's clothes in the room where the people kidnapped us ...... other?"
Zhang Lingmeng and Zhang Haotian stood up at the same time in surprise.
"Are they together?"
"Is there such a possibility, that is, this demon spirit and the people of the surname removal clan have been in the clouds for a long time, and the people of the surname removal clan deliberately let the demon spirit be caught by us, and then he gave the border spies of the demon slaying team a false impression, thinking that he had just received the message before coming to the rescue, thus giving us the illusion that the two of them are not together!"
"But, if that's true, then what is the purpose of doing this?"
Zhang Lingmeng was stopped by Zhang Haotian.
"You're asking a question, let's put it aside for now, and I have a doubt on my side. Zhang Haotian said.
"You say. ”
"In addition to your strangeness, I think that Zhong Liyu, the young master of Zhufang Tower, is also a mysterious existence in this matter. I asked Du Yunli herself, and she said that her Zhong Li Yu was a very good brother, and I had heard Jing Lao say that Zhong Li Yu was very filial to him and was a good boy.
However, from the words of the demon spirit and the tower master, he became a villain who conspired to betray his adoptive father. Besides, I also heard from Jing Lao that Zhongli was an orphan at the center of the plague twenty years ago, and it was the tower master who saved him. How despicable is a person to betray and save himself, and how hard to raise his benefactor?"
"When you say that, does that mean you suspect that the demon spirit and the tower master are lying?"
"There is indeed a little bit of such doubt. Of course, this is just my speculation, I don't have any substantial evidence that the demon spirit is lying, after all, the demon spirit is no longer there, and the young master of Zhufang Pagoda has also been transferred out of Duyunli, and we can't ask about it. ”
"Speaking of the young master of Zhufang Tower, he wanted to use the scales of the mirage to cast a forbidden spell, and the tower master said that this forbidden technique was detected by the tower master before it could be implemented. Then I have another question, when did the young master Zhongli learn this forbidden technique? This forbidden technique is mentioned in the very hidden ancient books in our Zhang family's library, almost no one knows this technique, he should be in his early twenties, he is so powerful that he can use this forbidden technique?"
"Jing Lao did say that the young master of Zhufang Pagoda had taken the scales from him...... And the scales were indeed picked up in the Zhufang Tower. ”
"That's weird. ”
The two of them were silent for a while, probably thinking. Suddenly, Zhang Lingmeng broke the silence-
"You say there's a conspiracy behind my doubts and yours?"
At this time, there was a crisp sound of folding bamboo outside the window!
