It was dark

Today is the fourteenth, and on this night when it should have been a sparse moon, the earth was completely immersed in a thick darkness due to the invasion of dark clouds in the sky.

At this time, the Wanjie Villa outside the city of Xiangyang Mansion was also as silent as this night, except for the two strings of red lanterns hanging on the gate of the village, revealing that there were still people living here, there was no trace of life at all......

Since a year ago, there have been drastic changes within the villa, the original old owner Wenren was stabbed to death, the second disciple of the village Liu Tianfeng betrayed the master and fled outside, even the young lady Wenren slender did not know where to go, after this sect, one by one things happened, as the main business of Wanjie Villa, can not find new customers. In addition, the popularity of the new owner Yang Jixian has not been booming, which has already made the original old customers lose their sense of trust, and the business has suddenly declined like a cliff.

Therefore, in the eyes of everyone, they feel that "Wanjie Villa" has long lost its original essence, and only one empty shell remains.

But no matter what its essence is, whether it's an empty shell, it has nothing to do with you, all you care about is the news about a person

This is what Yuan Xuzi thinks in the daytime, when Yuan Xuzi sits outside the gate of the villa, in a tea shed opposite.

When I went to visit the Hefeng Sword Gate, I heard Yin Yunming say that the person he rescued when he was collecting medicine a few years ago was a disciple of the Tianshan Sect, and he was likely to find his fellow disciples here, so after saying goodbye to his friend, he didn't delay and came here directly.

But when I got to the town, I noticed a strange atmosphere, to be exact, I had noticed it a long time ago, but after coming here, this strange feeling was even stronger.

Although this town is not small, it is quite peaceful, and the people in the town live a stable and peaceful life. But why now, there are so many eccentric and strange people on the streets, and they are all those small sects that do not enter the stream, which makes the residents of the town have some uneasy looks on their faces. Could it be that some unknown conspiracy that has been quietly brewing in the Huguang Land Realm has something to do with this place recently? And is it concentrated in Wanjie Villa?

I secretly doubted in my heart, and I saw the owner of the tea shed walking towards me,

"This Daoist, do you want to fill another pot?"

In fact, he had almost drunk it, but after thinking about it, he just asked him about the situation here, so he nodded,

"I'm sorry for you, let's have another pot."

"Hello!"

The owner of the tea shed agreed to go down, and in a blink of an eye, a pot of freshly brewed Longjing was delivered, plus a small plate of peanuts.

"This is for you, Dao Ye, please use it slowly."

"Thank you, owner, by the way,"

Yuan Xuozi poured himself a cup of tea, and stopped him as if he was casual,

"There are some things I want to ask the master, I wonder if you can come and talk about it?"

"Of course you can, anyway, this time is the time to be idle, Dao Ye has something to say, just say hello,"

The owner of the tea shed was very enthusiastic, and came directly to him to sit down and look at him.

"What does Dao Ye want to know?"

"It's the Wanjie Villa opposite,"

Yuan Xuozi sipped tea and chatted like an authentic person,

Poor Dao remembers that when he passed by here a few years ago, the door of the villa was wide open, and the guests came and went, and it looked very lively. But why did it seem that this place was so deserted, could it be that it had been turned into another business, and this place was no longer a place to welcome guests? ”

"If only that were the case,"

The owner of the tea shed pouted,

"Where do they have any other business to do, what else can they do besides bodyguards? Now it's like this, it's not all because the old owner is gone, and his disciples can't afford to take the lead, so they make a good Wanjie Villa like this, so that even our business is not good. ”

"Is the old farmer gone?"

Yuan Xuzi asked deliberately as if he didn't know.

When the owner of the tea shed heard this, he was quite surprised and said,

"The old owner was gone last year, why don't you even know about such a big thing?"

"I really don't know how to do it."

Yuan Xuozi continued to pretend to be stupid, so that he could say something more.

The owner of the tea shed really did what he wanted, and continued,

"I heard that the old farmer was killed by his second apprentice, who knows, it's usually good to look at them, but in the end something like this happened, it's really confusing."

"Oh...... So, this poor road is a little incomprehensible, even if the old owner is gone, the successor in Wanjie Villa should be full of talents, and there are not a few people who practice martial arts, why does it make the villa depressed so quickly? ”

Yuan Xuozi looked puzzled and looked at each other with expectant eyes.

The owner of the tea shed was really moved by the sincerity in his eyes, and leaned forward and said,

"What kind of talents, the owner of Wenren Village only has four apprentices, and now he has run away, how many people can go out to bodyguard."

"Isn't it?"

Hearing this, Yuan Xuzi looked very surprised,

"On the way here, especially in this town, I saw a lot of people who looked like people who practiced martial arts, aren't they all from Wanjie Villa?"

"Hey, Master Dao, you're really wrong about this,"

The owner of the tea shed had an expression of "you think about it 108,000 miles away", patted his thigh and said,

"Where are those people from Wanjie Villa, although I have also seen them go to the village, but they are not from the village at all, or even local people!"

"Really?!"

The expression on Yuan Xuzi's face looked even more surprised,

"Not from the Lodge? Why are you gathered here? Isn't Wanjie Villa going to do something to invite them to be guests? ”

"What kind of moves, with the current Wanjie Villa, who will buy their account,"

The owner of the tea shed had a look of disdain,

"Besides, most of these people are not good people, and inviting them to be guests is not to lure wolves into the house."

I'm afraid this statement is not wrong

Expressing his approval in his heart, Yuan Xuzi continued to ask,

"So master, I don't know how long this has been going on?"

"Is Dao Ye asking these indiscreet people from this town?"

"Exactly."

"Ouch, let me think,"

The owner of the tea shed patted his head and thought about it,

"It's been three or four months, to say the least."

"Oh, I see."

Yuan Xuzi thought for a moment, raised his head for a moment and smiled kindly,

"Thank you master, you can go busily, and the poor road will not bother you."

"Okay, Master Dao, you use it slowly, and then greet the little one if you have something."

As he spoke, the owner of the teahouse got up and went to his own business.

When Yuan Xuzi set his eyes on the gate of Wanjie Villa again, he saw three people coming out of the side door, and what was surprising was that he had seen these three people before, none other than the three guys who pestered Shangguan Yunli at the Sanli Pavilion at the foot of Hefeng Mountain last time...... 2k reading web
