Chapter 39: Shhhh
Just when Xiao Rui and Xia Keming were traveling north, there was a mansion in a mountain to the west more than three hundred miles away from them. In the council hall in the middle of the house, a white-haired old man sat in the middle, and on either side of him sat a dozen old people. The old man in the middle looked to be seventy or eighty years old, with white hair, a wrinkled face, loose skin, and a dry body that seemed to have few taels of flesh. It looked like an old man in his last years, but when he opened it occasionally, two fine lights would appear in his eyes when he scanned everyone, showing that this old man was different. The old man's name is Gu Lan, and he is the contemporary head of the Gu family, a super family. At this time, the Gu family was holding a family elder meeting, and the old men sitting on both sides of Gu Lan were all elders of the Gu family.
Gu Lan raised his flabby eyelids, revealing two shining eyes, glanced at the elders, and said in a deep voice, "Yuetian, who went out to practice some time ago, has returned. He went out to practice for ten years, but all he came back was his divine sense. Although he is now preparing to reshape his physical body in the Sect Heir Hall, the possibility of success is very small after all, so this child is considered a waste. Speaking of this, Gu Lan raised his voice and continued: "But Yuetian has brought back a piece of news: a strange person who appeared three thousand years ago has been found in the Holy Heaven City. This is something that our ancestors left us, but it was lost more than a thousand years ago. Now Yuetian found out, but he paid the price. Later, I sent two brothers, Yuefeng and Yueyun, to investigate the matter, but the divine thoughts they left behind in the Zonghetang also dissipated the day before yesterday. At the same time, the divine thoughts dissipated even the Elder Gu Xin of the Forging Hall. Gu Lan glanced at it again, and said hatefully, "These three are all elites of my Gu family, and Elder Gu Xin is still a master of the advanced soul splitting realm. It is said that there are few opponents in the Eastern Saint Continent. Even if the opponent can kill him, he will be able to flee with his consciousness and come back to deliver the news. But the current situation is that the consciousness of these three people has not returned, they must have been caught by the murderer, or their gods were destroyed on the spot. ”
Speaking of this, all the elders present immediately showed disbelief on their faces and began to discuss with each other: "How is it possible, who can do this." "How could my Gu family's Divine Consciousness Detachment Technique fail, even if a person is killed, the Divine Consciousness should be able to break away and come back!" "Elder Gu Xin has been killed? His Divine Sense has not escaped back?Who has this ability!" "That's it, I haven't heard of any time when such a master has appeared on the mainland!" "......."
Just when everyone was talking, Gu Lan coughed, and the elders immediately calmed down. Gu Lan said again: "Originally, when Yuetian's divine sense came back, he only said that the strange person was in the Zhao family in the Holy Heaven City. But Yuetian did die at the hands of a young man named Xiao Rui. And this young man's cultivation method is very special, which is to devour other people's blood as energy to improve himself. So Yuetian couldn't dodge his assassination. And we don't know what the two brothers Yuefeng and Yueyun found in the Holy Heavenly City, because their divine consciousness has not returned. Particularly strange was the death of Elder Guhin. Elder Gu Xin went out to find a batch of heavenly treasures this time, and came back to prepare to forge a high-level weapon, so that he could use it when he went to Reina County to compete for treasures this time. But his thoughts also dissipated. And it was less than an hour before the two juniors' divine thoughts dissipated. So I suspect they may have been killed at the same time. But with their skills, I can't think of anyone who can do that. If the other party is not alone, then which force dares to oppose us. ”
At this time, the first old man sitting on the left side of Gu Lan said, "Family master, do you think it could be the hand of that strange man?" Gu Lan shook his head slightly: "Unlikely." According to the news passed down by the family, the strange man has been severely damaged and has been sealed by the family ancestor with a secret method. I won't take the initiative to do it, and the secret method of controlling weirdos is only available to my Gu family. Yue Tian once controlled the strange man and blocked the attacks of the two master-level masters at the same time. However, the message left by the ancestors said that there were two strange people. Could it be that someone has controlled another strange person?Do you elders know which one else is cultivating divine sense?" all the elders shook their heads and said they didn't know.
Gu Lan pondered for a while, then raised his head and said, "Now that our Gu family has been killed four times in a row, it seems that we have been hidden for too long, and people have ignored our strength. We need to use our actions to prove to the world that our ancient family has not declined, and it is still a super family!" After speaking, Gu Lan's body straightened, and the feeling of the whole person immediately changed, and you no longer felt a trace of old age from his body, but like a towering mountain. The powerful aura spread, and the entire council hall seemed to be about to burst. The elders also sat majestically, and their momentum suddenly rose up and down, responding to Gu Lan's breath. Gu Lan's eyes flashed, and he said to the first elder on his left: "Elder Gu Ming, this time, I will trouble you to take the two of you to the Holy Heaven City to inquire about the news of the Zhao family and the strange people, and if you are not completely sure, don't do it first." Send someone back to deliver the letter first, and then go over and grab the weirdo when we are ready. Elder Gu Ming nodded in agreement. Gu Lan turned his head to the first elder on the right and said, "Elder Gu Jian, you take the four of you to Reina County, and no matter what, you must snatch back the treasure that was born this time." Our ancient family should also show their faces, otherwise people will forget about us. The elders also chimed in and said, "It's time for us to show our faces!"
While the Gu family was discussing the robbery of the treasure, Xiao Rui and Xia Keming had already arrived in Derektown, a small town in the south of Rainer County. The town is small but very prosperous, because it is adjacent to the official road, most of the passers-by have to rest here. Therefore, there are all kinds of restaurants and restaurants in the town, and there are all kinds of shops and hotels. Even the brothels of Qinglou for men's entertainment are everywhere, and the small town of Derek is also full of organs!
Because Xiao Rui and Xia Keming came out of Lanzhu City in a hurry, they did not hire horses and vehicles, and Xiao Rui originally planned to walk more in order to feel more of the aura between heaven and earth, so the two of them mostly walked along the way. If it gets dark today, the two of them plan to stay in Derektown and leave tomorrow. So the two entered the town and began to look for a hotel first, walking along the street to the center of the town, looking at the various goods on both sides of the street and the people coming and going, Xiao Rui thought in his heart that the last time he left home was in the mountains. This time I left home, I came out to find the time and space node, and to respect the body of the knife. The last time I went out, I had to go out, but this time I can't forget my parents and sister at home, and I must bring them some gifts back this time. So Xiao Rui walked and carefully observed the goods on the side of the road.
Suddenly, Xia Keming pulled Xiao Rui's sleeve and said, "Xiao Rui, let's stay here tonight!" Xiao Rui looked up, it turned out that Xia Keming had been looking for a hotel, and now he saw a hotel in front of them. Look at the cleanliness around the door, and the hall inside is also very bright. There is a signboard hanging on the lintel with the words "Mochizuki Tower". Xiao Rui said indifferently: "Okay, you are the elder brother, you have the final say, this is this." After speaking, the two walked into the Moon Tower. The names of the two are now much closer. As soon as I entered the door. Immediately, a guy greeted him with a smile: "Two guest officers, please come inside!" Do you want to stay in a hotel or just eat?" Xia Keming said loudly: "We also live in the store and eat food." You prepare a room for us first, prepare hot water, and after we take a shower, we come down to eat. The man immediately smiled and replied, "Okay, guest officer, then please go upstairs first, there is a room upstairs, and I will prepare hot water for you." ”
Xiao Rui and the two went upstairs, and a guy upstairs had already heard their answer downstairs, and led the two to the innermost room on the left hand side of the stairs. The two waited for the hot water to come, washed up well, and then changed into clean clothes and went downstairs to the hall. I found a table near the window and sat down, asked for a few side dishes, and asked for a pot of wine, and the two of them drank each other. In fact, Xiao Rui has never drunk wine when he is so old, when he first met Duan Hui in Shengtian City, every time Duan Hui was invited to a banquet, Xiao Haiqing accompanied him at the dinner table, but Xiao Rui didn't drink it. Now that it's out, it's just the two of them, Xiao Rui didn't shirk, and after touching a glass with Xia Keming, he learned from Xia Keming to dry up a glass of wine. Just as he craned his neck and raised his eyes, he saw several people walking in through the door.
"Cough, cough..." Xiao Rui didn't expect this glass of wine to choke so much, and when he took a sip, he immediately felt hot from his mouth to his throat, and then from his chest to his stomach! Xia Keming was stunned for a moment, and then laughed. While laughing, he pointed at Xiao Rui and said, "No, haven't you really drunk wine? Why are you still choking, hahaha" After laughing at Xiao Rui, Xia Keming hurriedly called the guy to send a glass of warm water, let Xiao Rui drink a few sips of water, buffered it, and stopped coughing. Xiao Rui's face was already red at this time, and he even choked on the strength of the wine and coughed, making Xiao Rui's face look like a cooked prawn. And a few people who had just entered the door also looked over when they heard the movement here. When the first two saw Xiao Rui, they actually made a voice together: "Huh, are you Xiao Rui?"
And Xiao Rui still had tears in his eyes at this time, and looked at the two people walking in front of him vaguely. When the two of them were about to get in front of them, they finally saw that the first person was actually Duan Hui, and the second person felt a little familiar, and he really couldn't remember where he had seen it for a while. When he saw that it was Duan Hui, Xiao Rui was overjoyed. hurriedly stepped forward and was about to give a salute, but was stopped by Duan Hui and said, "Brother Xiao, how are you doing these days? Xiao Rui immediately understood in his heart that Duan Hui didn't want to be known about the identity of the royal Duan family outside, so he arched his hand and said: "Oh, Brother Duan, I have been delayed on the road for some small things these days, and I am walking, so I walked slowly." Then why are you here too?" said and arched his hand at the person behind Duan Hui. Unexpectedly, the man pursed his mouth, tilted his head, looked at the ceiling and said, "Why, I haven't seen you for a few days, and I don't even say hello." Xiao Rui scratched his head, hesitated in his heart, suddenly remembered someone, and hurriedly said: "Oh, it turned out to be a male..."
