Chapter 973: Bad News
"Hmph, soon, it's only two days. ”
Zhang Xu shoved the peeled apple into my arms, and sat aside with an unhappy face.
I sat up with my teeth bared and took a big bite of the apple, which made my stomach feel much more comfortable. It seems that my flesh has suffered a lot of sins in the past two days.
"What happened after I passed out, and how did Xia Liang die?"
On the contrary, Zhang Xu was very surprised that I actually knew that Xia Liang was dead, so I had to reluctantly briefly say what happened to the underworld, of course, the part where the fit between my body and soul was reduced.
It turned out that when Xia Liang was about to smash a punch on my head that day, Ma Tianyu immediately played a spell to stop him, but although that guy was hit by Tianyu with one blow, he didn't forget to beat me when he lost his life.
So it was a bit heavy, but it wasn't as serious as it was to kill me.
And I can't see Xia Liang's death, it is said that his body was taken to the research room of the Five Elements by Ma Tianyu, saying that he wanted to find out who had cast the spell on him.
"Any eyebrows?"
As soon as I heard Zhang Xu say this, I immediately became nervous, and I didn't know if there was a way for the group of old guys who thought highly of themselves in the Five Elements.
Sure enough, after he was silent for a while, he told me that there had been no progress so far, but that Xia Liang's soul was contained in the formation by Lian Chen, who arrived later, when he left his body.
He is now being interrogated at the hands of his family.
I stretched my back and leaned on the pillow, Xia Liang still couldn't escape the end of being interrogated, especially the interrogation of the soul is much more painful than the body, I hope this thing can spit out something useful.
After finishing the business, I noticed that Zhang Xu, this kid, always doesn't look at me when he talks, and he hums and chirps from time to time, and the yin and yang are very weird.
I immediately frowned and threw my neck at him, "Hey, you kid has been itchy lately, right, have you had such a bad attitude towards me?"
I don't know what kind of wind Zhang Xu smoked, although he usually gets along with me more casually, but he has never been so rude, could it be that I slept for so many days, he thought I couldn't do it, and he couldn't pump him?
I was about to raise my hand to draw a talisman seal in the air, and the education should respect the teacher, but this thing stared at me with an accusatory face, "You are embarrassed to say! You will run away if you say it yourself that day, but I am facing Ma Lao, how can I have a chance to escape, you are good to be yourself, and you persuaded Brother Tianyu to run smoothly, but I have been left until the end!"
Zhang Xu suddenly roared loudly when he talked about the events of the previous two days, and I couldn't help but cover my ears, and I could hear him chirping and complaining in a hoarse voice.
I was too anxious to find Xia Liang at the time, so I completely forgot that there was a Zhang Xu on the other end, Ma Tianyu's mind was also more chaotic at that time, one of us was anxious and the other was impatient, and as a result, I left behind the matter of informing Ma Lao not to use punishment.
Therefore, Ma Lao's whip was all greeted to Zhang Xu's body without pulling it.
This kid is also a tough guy, I hinted before that he ran away, this thing just didn't want to be a deserter, and I thought that I would also suffer together, so I really carried it.
By the time Ma Lao received the kid from the little disciple who had stopped, Zhang Xu was already a blur of flesh and blood, and he only had one breath left.
At first glance, it's a lump of meat.
After Zhang Renewal Ai Ai finished speaking, Rao is no matter how thick-skinned he was, he was still a little embarrassed to arrive, so he had to cough twice to change the topic, "Ahem, this, hey, strange, why don't you see Lian Chen, I'll go down and take a look." ”
"Look a fart!"
Zhang Xu picked up the big red apple in the fruit basket and threw it at me, right in front of the door, Ma Lao saw this picture when they pushed the door in.
"Yo, the recovery is good, I know how to catch the apple with my face. ”
Ma Lao walked in the front, carrying a bag of fruits and various tonic snacks in his hand, and I glanced at the corner of my eye that they were all my favorite food, and I couldn't help but swallow my saliva immediately.
I thought that Ma Lao looked bad-tempered, but he was actually very careful, and even inquired so clearly about what I like to eat. I hurriedly sat upright, waiting for the old man to bring me the delicious food, and thought about what I wanted to say to thank me.
However, things are not what I thought they were.
I saw Ma Lao licking his face and smiling at my gaze, walking straight to Zhang Xu, rubbing his hands and handing over the various bags in his hand.
I almost burst out with a swear word.
And Zhang Xu accepted it very calmly, and raised his eyebrows to look at me, which made me even more unhappy.
Hmph, when the crowd is gone, I'll clean up this kid again.
"Poof, Zhang Yan, forget it, you didn't see the injuries on Zhang Xu's body, tsk, it's definitely comparable to movie special effects, you don't know how heavy Ma Lao is. ”
Ma Tianyu, who came in after him, joked with a smile, I looked over at Chen Ming and Chen Lao, and even Lao was here.
Won't they all come to see me, I was a little puzzled, and took the lead in saying the news I got in the underworld. Although a few people were surprised that I actually left my body and went to the underworld, but I quickly accepted the fact and didn't think about other places, I couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief, and asked why they came together and why they didn't see Zhang Lao.
Speaking of this question, everyone unexpectedly didn't speak, but focused on Lian Lao's body, my heart suddenly struck, it couldn't be that Zhang Lao had any problems, right?
Is it him who has a private relationship with the Great Xia Kingdom and the celestials?
As soon as this thought appeared, I blurted it out, and everyone unanimously did not speak, but Lian Lao said that it was not necessarily the truth.
"Actually, we haven't seen Zhang Lao for a long time, and the original purpose of asking you to come back quickly at the beginning was also because we couldn't find Zhang Lao's shadow anywhere, and we were worried that something would happen to him. After the body of the kid from the Ma family was found by Ma Lao, the next thing was logical. ”
Even the old man was the first to speak, and at the same time gave me a reassuring pill, he said that they had not seen Zhang Lao for a long time, and they couldn't get in touch at all, but from all aspects of information, it was really Zhang Lao who was the connector between the Heavenly Man and the Great Xia Kingdom.
In this way, the identity of Zhang Lao, who is not present now, is subtle, but there is no direct evidence that Zhang Lao betrayed the four major families.
Besides, if people are in the shadows today, and there is an unfathomable helper in their hands, it is very likely that they used spells to imprison Zhang Lao and let us kill internally.
From beginning to end, neither Ma Tianyu nor Ma Lao spoke, and I couldn't help but ask them if they had any ideas. Tianyu hesitated for a moment before speaking, saying that he was not sure whether the news he got from Ma Zhongqi was true or false, and suggested that Wuxing and Lian Chen should first get the news from Xia Liang's mouth before making a conclusion.
Most of the rest of the people also have this idea, I have to sigh, and now there is no way to prove that the Zhang family really has nothing to do with this matter, and I am only a suspect now.
Not long after, everyone dispersed, and only Zhang Xu and I were left in the room.
"It's spying on us in disguise, hehe. Zhang Xu, who couldn't bear it, sneered and looked at the door of the room, where there were still a few young disciples guarding in turn.
"You can recuperate with peace of mind, this time it is for our Zhang family, and we have already prepared, it seems that we want to uproot us. ”
I ate the snacks from Zhang Xu in my mouth, half leaned on the bed and said thoughtfully, "Now the four major families are all panicked, even if Lian Chen will believe us, but the rest of the disciples will not think so, since they want to pit my Zhang family, there will inevitably be the next move, let's just wait quietly." ”
"But don't you worry if the old man is really caught? He's about the same age as he bluffs, and it's not enough to let the old man come out to fight. ”
Zhang Xu frowned and said, staring at me with a pair of sparkling eyes, not knowing whether he was looking at me or the snack in my hand.
I was about to comfort the goods, but the door was slammed open again, and Chen Ming rushed in sweating, pulling me up and running out.
"Hey, what are you doing here, aren't you going to spy on us, you're going to let me out so soon?" I was going to tease him, but this man rarely told me to follow with less nonsense.
I had to close my mouth and limp to be grabbed and run by him, there was no way, the soul had just merged with the body, and I was still a little uncomfortable, and it would take a few days to get used to it.
Zhang Xu was worried about me, and chased him all the way out regardless of the injuries on his body.
The three of us walked to the underground torture chamber, and the smell of blood hit my face, and I couldn't help but start to feel nauseous.
"Xia Liang's soul was evolved by the elders of the Water Tribes and the Wood Clan, and he exploded after being forced to say part of it. ”
Chen Ming turned his head and stared at me tightly, and said word by word, "We only know that Elder Zhang's situation is very dangerous now, don't be too nervous when we see you in a while." ”
I was confused, and looked along his line of sight, only to see that Lian Lao and Lian Chen were urging the formation together, and in the center of the formation was Zhang Lao's bloodstained face.
I woke up instantly, and I stared at the formation with an angry mood, and saw that Zhang Lao was locked to a thick copper pillar with an iron chain, and the surroundings were gray and I couldn't see where it was.
But this pillar is familiar to me.
Once in Lian Chen's study, I flipped through an ancient book, which was about the methods used by the Demon Dao to punish the enemy in the past, including the trick of the copper pillar to bake people's souls.
What is the relationship between heaven and demon dao?
Or have I been mistaken all along, and the celestials are actually branches of the Demon Dao?
Chaotic thoughts collided in my mind, during which Zhang Lao seemed to open his eyes and say something ahead, but the picture was interrupted at that time.
"With our current mana, we can't support the Water Mirror Formation for too long, and the distance between Elder Zhang and us is extremely far, and the power required is several times higher than before. ”
Lian Chen took a breath and said helplessly, while I only opened my mouth mechanically, "What about Xia Liang's soul?"
The rest of the people glanced at each other, and Elder Lian whispered back, "His soul exploded, and he didn't leave any useful information." ”
"Are there any shards left?" my pupils constricted, not wanting to let go of any possibility.
