Chapter 81: The Truth Revealed
Wu Ye pondered for a moment, if his inference was correct, this Shen Heavenly Master was probably the true owner of the Seven-Leaf Elder Token of the Zhushan Sect, but why would an evil Dao powerhouse with three seedlings and nine li hibernate in the Northwest Wasteland in the poor countryside for twenty years, this was still a matter of considerable thought.
In any case, this "Snake Slaying Conference" must not be as simple as it seems, and there must be a rather big conspiracy hidden in order for Shen Tianshi to spend twenty years waiting patiently.
With a thought in his mind, he asked again: "Since everyone knows that participating in the 'Snake Slaying Conference' is going and not returning, who else is willing to unveil the list?"
Liu San smiled and said: "Except for some confused outsiders, it is true that no one is willing to unveil the list, but big brother, don't forget, in the county and town to which our Pingliang City belongs, there are so many families and so many patriarchs, as long as the city lord gives an order, can they not come?"
Wu Ye's heart suddenly brightened.
The customs of Wuwei Country are still brutal and brave, light life and death, and honor, the patriarch of a family and the head of a tribe are equivalent to the leader of an army, and they must take the lead and charge ahead, and even the monarch of Wuwei Country must rush to the front line when fighting!
This is not a law, but it is a law formed by the people of Wuwei in thousands of years of hardship and hardship.
If any patriarch dared to violate this law, not only himself, but even his family would collapse in an instant!
This list is posted here, although no one will unveil the list, but once the gong and drum are sent to Zhongyang Town, it is clear that the country needs warriors who sacrifice their lives to die, then, the patriarchs of the three major families will rush to unveil the list!
The word "patriarch" is not only an honor, but also a power, but also an obligation!
If any patriarch is greedy for life and afraid of death and does not dare to reveal the list, then, as long as the news comes out, no more family will be willing to do business with his family, and no one will even be willing to say half a word to the people of this family, and this family will not be far from extinction!
This kind of law may be called "stupidity", or "recklessness", or "bravery".
But it is precisely with such a law that the Wuwei Kingdom can stand tall in the great northwest where aliens are lined with different races for hundreds of years, and can kill a bloody world among the minions of demon beasts with flesh and blood!
"I see, no wonder the old ghost Wang Qing wants to accept me as his righteous son, and let me be this cheap patriarch at a critical moment!" Wu Ye suddenly realized.
"Come to think of it, ten years ago, at the second snake slaughter conference, the previous patriarch of the Wang family should have died in Dongling Mountain, and the old ghost Wang Qing knew that it would be his turn in ten years, this old ghost was greedy for life and afraid of death, and he didn't dare to risk the disapproval of the world, so he came up with such a way to make a substitute for the dead ghost!"
"No wonder he wants to raise Wang Biao into a bully with well-developed limbs, a simple mind, and a rough surname! With Wang Biao's surname and brain, there is no need to force him at all, as long as he flickers a few words, he is allowed to go up to Tanglin Mountain to die by himself, and others may not be able to stop him if they want to!"
Wu Ye sneered, so far, all the conspiracies of the Wang family against him have been revealed, think about Wang Qing's old ghost is also a little pitiful, after ten years of hard work, he tried his best to concoct a substitute for the dead ghost, and even the face of the Wang family was lost, it was originally a foolproof plan, but he was taken away by him at the critical moment, and he slipped away!
As soon as he thought of Wang Qing's angry appearance, the corners of Wu Ye's mouth hung a slightly malicious smile.
I asked some details of the snake slaughtering conference, Liu San was also chasing the wind and shadows, hearsay, couldn't tell the truth, Wu Ye gave up, and asked him if there was a place to buy exercises in Pingliang City, he wanted to buy a set of "Iron Cloth Shirt", and also wanted to buy some medicinal materials for cultivation, medicinal wine, etc.
Everyone in Wuwei people practices martial arts, and it is a common thing for a hunter to want to hone his martial arts, Liu San did not doubt it, and pointed to Wu Ye and said that there are two places in Pingliang City where you can buy "Iron Cloth Shirt".
The first is the "Gongfa Pavilion" opened by the Pingliang City Government, but to buy Gongfa in the Gongfa Pavilion, you need very detailed identification, at least three respected township elders must issue a guarantee to prove that this person is innocent, so that he can buy, which is very troublesome.
The other way is to go to the martial arts hall opened by Tiexianmen in Pingliang City to buy, but if you want to buy "Tie Cloth Shirt" in Tiefenmen, you must first join Tiefenmen before you can learn from the teacher, and it will take a lot of work.
Seeing that Wu Ye's brows were slightly furrowed, Liu San pointed out a path that was not very open.
Liu San said that if Wu Ye didn't mind spending a little more, there would be a black market in the shantytown outside Pingliang City every night, where everything could be bought, and the practice of "Iron Cloth Shirt" was not a problem, and no one would ask about the source of these goods, nor would anyone pay attention to the identity of the buyer, but the price code was one or two percent more expensive than the official channel, and an acquaintance could lead the way to enter.
Wu Ye of course understood what he meant, negotiated with Liu San about the price of leading the way to the black market, finalized the location of the evening joint, gave Liu San twenty knife money, which was the cost of the news just now, and helped him order a plate of mutton and two cakes, and he went out of the small restaurant first.
The cold wind rushed to his face, and a familiar figure, along with the cold wind, appeared in front of him.
"Xiao Han?"
Xiao Han's face was full of indifference, followed by several Xiao family members, slowly walked into Pingliang City, and when he passed by Wu Ye's side, he seemed to be attracted by Wu Ye's spicy gaze and glanced at him.
Wu Ye clearly saw a series of sparks of surprise burst out from the depths of Xiao Han's eyes in an instant, and seemed to smell the familiar aura on his body.
However, after seeing the true face of this ugly man, the spark in the girl's eyes suddenly went out, was covered by a layer of cold ice, and turned into an indifferent young man who didn't say a word, his brows involuntarily frowned deeply, and he strode forward.
Wu Ye smiled slightly, following behind these Xiao family members, these young boys and girls were also entering the city for the first time, and they were very excited, in order to hide their embarrassment, they talked and laughed loudly, spitting and flying, and did not hide it at all.
Wu Ye listened to their chat without a match, and only then did he know that these Xiao family members had made contributions in the national war and were qualified to come to Pingliang City to exchange exercises, weapons and armor.
Among them, Xiao Han naturally made the greatest contribution, she killed twelve iron-backed wolves and more than a hundred fierce tooth rats, revealing extremely shocking strength!
These members of the Xiao family also faintly took her as the core, and they had goosebumps all over their bodies when they heard it.
After listening to it for a long time, it was all these young boys and girls discussing boring things such as going to the Gongfa Pavilion tomorrow and what exercises should be exchanged, Wu Ye yawned, and the words "Nanbatian" suddenly scraped into his ears, and his spirits suddenly perked.
But I saw a young girl from the Xiao family leaning over to Xiao Han quietly, and said in a shrill voice: "Brother Han, you are so simple and kind, how can you know the despicable tricks of a bully like Nan Batian? Where is he really going to be your little brother, he is obviously casually deceiving you, so that you can let him go for a while, this is not, he actually escaped from the battlefield!"
"That's right, it's really a shame for our Zhongyang Town!"
Another young man from the Xiao family said with a look of disgust, "Our Zhongyang Town is in the entire Heishui County this time, no, the entire Pingliang City has made a big scandal! Now everyone knows that there is a gutless bandit who escaped from the battle in our Zhongyang Town, and we were on the road just now, and when we said that we were from Zhongyang Town, weren't we still made fun of? Nanba Tian really made a miserable mess of our whole town!"
Another young man from the Xiao family waved his fist and said through gritted teeth: "If I bump into Nan Batian, I wouldn't-"
The girl of the Xiao family, who was almost hanging on Xiao Han's body, interrupted him with a sneer: "You don't need to do it, Nan Batian escaped from the battle, and the most annoyed is the Wang family, haven't you heard that Wang Mu was so angry that she used the runic sword given to her by the Liuyun Sword Sect to cut off the big tree at the door of the Wang family's house with a sword, and swore to the ancestors of the Wang family that he would definitely cut off Nan Batian's head with his own hands and wash away the shame he brought to the Wang family!"
"Ha, maybe this scumbag has died in which mountain I don't know!"
"Enough!"
Xiao Han's voice was like a cold wind blowing from the frozen valley, which froze the discussions of several Xiao family disciples at once, and she unceremoniously knocked off the hand that the Xiao family girl was trying to reach out to her shoulder, ignoring the extremely embarrassed expression of the girl, and cut it to the point:
"Nan Batian is definitely not a coward who escapes, he must have his reasons, I believe him! You have to chew the root of your tongue and chew slowly in another place, but in front of me, it's best to put away this boring nonsense, otherwise, let's go our separate ways!"
Several teenagers of the Xiao family were frightened.
Xiao Han snorted coldly, and his gaze swept to Wu Ye on the side again.
Wu Ye grinned, revealing his big black teeth.
Xiao Han frowned, put away the doubts in his eyes, and strode forward regardless of everyone.
Everyone woke up from a dream and hurriedly chased after them, and finally they entered an inn together.
Wu Ye firmly remembered the name of the inn, pondered for a moment, or gave up the plan to meet Xiao Han immediately, now he and Qi Gongzi's grievances have not yet been settled, recognize each other at this moment, although they can use Xiao Han's power to fight against Qi Gongzi, but for Xiao Han, the true son of heaven without the help of the old man, it is too dangerous.
Men's affairs, let men solve it themselves!
