Chapter Eighty-Three: Soul Bird!
The environment of the Zhou Mansion is quite good, entering from the main gate is a very wide compound, there are all kinds of props for practicing martial arts in the courtyard, there are some houses around the compound, and there are some roads that should lead to the other courtyards, the front of the compound is where the living room of the Zhou family is located, at this time, some disciples in the courtyard of the Zhou family saw Zhou Cheng and demeanor coming, and greeted Zhou Cheng: "Hello Young Master Zhou." Zhou Cheng was obviously used to these courtesies, nodded slightly, and then greeted the demeanor and walked towards the living room.
At this time, Zhang Mo had already arrived in the living room, and he was received by Zhou Zhan, the head of the Zhou family, Zhou Zhan has been the head of the Zhou family for more than ten years, and his cultivation has reached the middle stage of the Gathering God Realm, and he is also a well-known strong man in Zhangjia Village, and he is humble and low-key, and he has kept the Zhou family in good order over the years, and has been admired by the people of the entire Zhangjia Village. Although Zhou Zhan seems to be polite and modest, he is actually a character who becomes more and more courageous in the fight, which is quite similar to his name. The so-called Zhou Zhan means invincible and invincible.
"Haha, Blacksmith Zhang, why are you empty again, please sit down, come here, serve tea!" Zhou Zhan saw that it was Zhang Mo, and hurriedly welcomed him warmly, for fear of neglecting this important guest.
Zhang Mo also laughed and said: "The master of the Zhou family is polite, I haven't seen you for many days, your old body looks good." ”
"It's okay, it's okay. By the way, I don't know why Blacksmith Zhang is here this time?" Zhou Zhan is a very straightforward person and doesn't like to talk around the bush, so the second sentence of this opening goes straight to the point. Zhang Mo obviously knew this for a long time, and said very calmly: "Can the Zhou family master recognize this thing?"
"This, this is?" Zhou Zhan looked at the feather taken out of Zhang Mo's hand, this feather took on the shape of an eye, and there was a feeling of acquaintance.
"Doesn't the head of the Zhou family remember?" Zhang Mo asked again, his tone slightly revealing dissatisfaction.
Zhou Zhan looked at this feather, and suddenly fell into deep thought. He began to associate with the familiar feeling, and suddenly a strange image appeared in his mind, several people shot out together to kill a terrifying youkai with eyes all over his body, and the monster finally died, but left a small cub behind!
At that time, many people wanted to kill the cub directly, but the last head of the Zhou family stepped forward to save the cub, forcing each other to die, so that many masters stopped at the same time and spared the cub's life. And this old head of the Zhou family is the father of the current head of the family, Zhou Zhan, named Zhou Deshang. This old man was of high moral character, and he was loved by many people as his name suggested, so he forced him with his life, and the rest of the people could no longer attack the monster's cubs. Since then, Zhou Shangde disappeared from people's sight with the monster's cub, and this disappearance was never returned to the Zhou family, and then Zhou Zhan took over the position of head of the family.
"Remembered, right?" Zhang Mo looked at Zhou Zhan and pondered for a long time, then asked again.
"Well, I kind of remembered something. Blacksmith Zhang wanted to talk about the cub at the beginning. Zhou Zhan's personality is straightforward, and his quick words make Zhang Mo's heart feel very comfortable, and he likes to deal with such people, simply and neatly.
In the hall, the two people sat opposite each other, chatting while drinking tea, Zhou Chenghe was embarrassed to go in, so Zhou Cheng walked around the Zhou family with his demeanor, looking at everything in the Zhou family along the way, and his demeanor suddenly felt homesick. "Aunt Cui and the crazy old man, are you all right?" thought to Fengdu, and it was no wonder that Fengdu would think like this, because the New Year would be in a few days. Grace came out of the Feng family in a hurry, in fact, it was not too late to wait until the end of the New Year, but he didn't want to procrastinate, he wanted to leave immediately, not dragging mud and water, this is the style of demeanor.
"Brother Zhou, the New Year will be celebrated in a few days, I don't know what arrangements the Zhou family has every year?" Grace asked casually.
Zhou Cheng smiled slightly: "Brother Du, you have just come here, and it is normal that you have not heard of it, because Zhangjia Village is still dominated by the Zhang family, so every time it is the New Year, all major families have to participate in the celebration held by the Zhang family together." ”
"Isn't this a lot of fun? The demeanor and curious expression made Zhou Cheng look helpless.
"At the celebration, you can eat if you want, drink as much as you want, and more importantly, you can meet some beautiful girls in the village, maybe any girl will take you if she likes you, hahaha. The more Zhou Chenghe chatted, the happier he became, and the two of them had a feeling of familiarity at first sight. Zhou Cheng has always been the young master of the Zhou family, and he usually has few friends, but now he met the demeanor that made him happy, and he talked while walking with the demeanor, introducing the various beauties of the Zhou family, all kinds of special dishes, etc.
"Brother Zhou, I think let's go to the hall to find Brother Zhang and them, I don't know what the situation is. ”
Demeanor was a little worried, and he didn't know what Zhang Mo's purpose was.
Zhou Cheng heard what Grace said, nodded and said, "Since Brother Du wants to go and see, then I'll take you in." After speaking, Zhou Cheng returned to the outside of the Zhou family's living room with grace.
At this time, a scene was being staged in the hall in the deep memory, Zhou Zhan looked at the feather in his hand, and his heart was full of ups and downs, since his father Zhou Deshang disappeared with the cub, he had never appeared again.
"Master Zhou, I have preliminarily confirmed that the serial killings during this period of time are absolutely inseparable from this feather monster. I'm just here to ask if there is anything special going on in the Zhou family recently. Zhang Mo asked nervously.
Zhou Zhan knew the seriousness of this matter, he thought about it carefully, and suddenly his eyes lit up: "Blacksmith Zhang, if you don't ask me, I will really ignore that matter." ”
Zhang Mo's heart tightened, it seemed that there was a play. "Master Zhou, listen carefully, this matter is very important, if it is serious, it will be related to the life and death of Zhangjia Village, that monster is not ordinary. Back then, that monster's peak strength was not inferior to that of the human Qiankun Realm powerhouse.
"I know this, although my father saved a cub back then, but the cub never appeared in the Zhou family again, but one night a few days ago, I sensed a breath wandering in the Zhou family, but I flew out no matter how I sensed it, I couldn't sense the breath, there was no way, but I vaguely seemed to see a pair of eyes flashing in the sky above the Zhou family, as if looking for something?" Zhou Zhan truthfully said what happened that night.
When Zhang Mo heard this, he sat up suddenly: "It's the soul bird, it's good, it's absolutely right, it's the cub at the beginning!"
"How can Blacksmith Zhang conclude that it's it?" asked Zhou Zhan with a puzzled expression.
Zhang Mo said: "Let me ask you, can Zhou Deshang's seniors be in Zhou's house?"
"This, this! I don't know, maybe it will be there or not. Zhou Zhan's answer was very vague.
"Haha, the head of the Zhou family doesn't have to be so careful, in fact, it is obvious that the old man Zhou Deshang is not in the Zhou family anymore, according to my speculation, he may no longer be alive!" Zhang Mo boldly inferred.
Zhou Zhan also sat up suddenly: "You, how do you know? Father's life card was indeed broken a year ago, hey." ”
"In this way, the answer is very clear, isn't it? The soul bird came to the Zhou family to find the Zhou seniors, as for killing people and digging out their eyes and hearts, that is the food that the soul bird clan must supplement, without those their strength, they can't evolve. Zhang Mo naturally concluded that the murderer was the soul-returning bird.
Zhou Zhan was shocked in his heart as he listened, if this was true, then wouldn't his father Zhou Deshang be a sinner? At that time, he was kind enough to save the cub, but he didn't expect to save a monster that harmed the villagers!
