Chapter 52: A Hundred Instruments Walk at Night
"The family is unfortunate, there is such a rebellion, and even his own daughter will not let go. ”
"The old city lord was wronged, but his most beloved granddaughter was persecuted by her family. ”
"Is the old city lord really dead?"
"It should be dead, being drugged and killed by his own son, it's really a sin. ”
"Who is this girl?" asked some of the newcomers, puzzled, "what the hell is going on?"
"You're not here for the nocturnal walk?"
"The juniors just happened to pass by Ximen City, and they didn't know the ins and outs of this matter, so they asked the seniors to tell one or two. ”
"It's not a secret, most people in Ximen City know it, since you are so curious, let me tell you about this intolerable evil. A gray-haired old man said, as soon as these words came out, many people immediately attracted them.
"Let's go, go inside. Someone shouted.
Then, a group of curious people surrounded the old man into the inn, waiting for good tea and snacks, like a hungry wolf surrounding the old man, and the inn was overflowing for a while.
Jiang Chen frowned, he didn't have much interest in this matter, he just wanted to wait quietly here for Mo Feiyun to come back, but Bai Ze didn't think like this, but was quite interested in the ins and outs of this matter, and threatened Jiang Chen to find a table in the inn and sit down, it was hard to imagine what attracted him.
"Old man, please tell me the ins and outs of this matter!"
"Ahem!" The rickety old man never expected to attract such a person, and he was a little helpless, but he still slowly opened his mouth to say the matter.
"The girl you saw earlier is named Liu Yiyi, and the young man is her brother and brother, Liu Shang, the two are a pair of dragon and phoenix twins, and their father is the lord of this West Gate City, Liu Yan. The old man stroked his long beard and said.
Jiang Chen unconsciously became interested when he heard this, it seemed that the hidden truth should be quite rich, and he couldn't help but prick up his ears and listen carefully.
At this moment, an old man wearing a black cloak jacket suddenly came to Jiang Chen's opposite and said with a smile: "Is there anyone sitting here?"
The old man's whole body was shrouded in a black cloak coat, and even his face was shrunk into the hood, with the help of the afterglow of the setting sun, in the faint appearance, Jiang Chen saw that there was a scar on the old man's cheek, from the forehead in the upper left corner, extending to his right chin, like a centipede crawling on it, very scary, definitely able to scare a three-year-old child into crying.
The old man pretended to be mysterious, shrouded in a cloak, and had a hideous scar on his face, which more or less made people think that this person had bad intentions.
Jiang Chen was stunned, and his spiritual sense suddenly detected the old man's cultivation clearly, he was just an old man with nine seals of the small instrument level, and he couldn't pose any threat to him, even if the old man had bad intentions, he could still run if he wanted to.
Jiang Chen looked around and found that the inn was already full of people, only his platform was still vacant, so he couldn't help but smile kindly and said, "No one, please sit down." ”
The old man nodded, thanked him in a slightly hoarse voice, and then sat opposite Jiang Chen, bowing his head slightly, making it impossible to see his face clearly.
"Since the two are brother and sister, why does Liu Shang seem to have captured Liu Yiyi from outside the city?" someone asked.
"As we all know, Liu Yan's life weapon is a canopy, which is a canvas, which belongs to an ordinary life weapon, and his children, Liu Shang, inherited his canopy, but Liu Yiyi inherited his grandfather's Qiu Li sword, his grandfather, that is, the old city lord of Ximen City, Liuzhou, as for someone asked, a sword-shaped life weapon, why its owner can become the city lord of this small city of 10,000 people for decades, of course, there is its past, this will not be explained. ”
"The key is here, five years ago, in order to snatch the position of the city lord from Liuzhou, Liu Yan actually poisoned the old city lord with a novice, so as to sit on the position of the city lord. ”
"Shhh
Some people in the temperament scolded indignantly: "Heaven is intolerable, and you are not afraid of being struck by lightning?"
A small artifact master of the three seals of the small instrument rank asked, "What is the matter with Liu Yiyi?" ”
"Because she has discovered an unknown secret, a hundred instruments at night!" the old man said solemnly.
"Hundred instruments at night?" The onlookers were confused and very puzzled.
Hearing this, Jiang Chen couldn't help but be interested, this sounded really fascinating, and he wanted to know the truth of the matter.
"This has to start from five years ago!" the old man drank a cup of tea and continued: "The old city lord was poisoned by Liu Yan, in addition to being the city lord, there is also a big secret, that is, the night travel of a hundred weapons. ”
"On the night of the full moon five years ago, a hundred life weapons of different shapes suddenly appeared in the deep mountains and old forests outside the West Gate City, these weapons have no owner, and no one is in control, they will appear out of thin air on the full moon night every month, and then they will be thrown on the ground, until the second half of the night, they will line up to go back to the depths of the Banxi Forest. ”
As soon as these words came out, many people covered their bodies tightly, their scalps were numb, and goosebumps were rising.
"And what are they looking for?"
"Vitality Essence Stone. The old man smiled: "Now I know why so many people stopped in Ximen City, they are here for the secret of this hundred weapons." ”
Someone anxiously asked, "Old man, you said so much, why haven't you reached the point yet?"
"Young people just can't stand it. The old man shook his head and sighed: "As I said before, Liu Yan poisoned the old city lord not just for the position of the city lord, but because the old city lord knew the secret of the night walk of the hundred weapons, and only the old city lord knew about the entire West Gate City, there is no doubt that the secret of the night walk of the hundred weapons must be earth-shattering, otherwise it would not have caused Liu Yan to poison the old city lord." ”
As for Liu Yiyi, the old city lord seemed to have told her this secret before he died, and as for the time when Liu Shang and the others saw her follow Baiqi and disappeared for thirty-three days before coming back, but she didn't seem to want to make the ins and outs of this matter public, for the sake of the truth, Liu Yan had already done something to her own daughter, and even killed her father, let alone her daughter. The old man shook his head frequently: "This time, it should be Liu Yiyi's failed escape and was captured, but it's a pity that the child, I don't know how much crime I have to suffer, I understand it, alas!"
"I see!" Everyone exhaled, feeling extremely melancholy in their hearts, spitting on Liu Rong's cruelty, and feeling sad for Liu Yiyi's situation.
"Isn't it okay for Liu Yiyi to tell them? Why should they suffer?" someone lamented,
The old man shook his way, squeezed through the crowd, and walked out.
"Maybe there is really an ulterior secret hidden in the night walk, and she may be guarding something. ”
After telling the whole story, many people took a long time to digest it, and the crowd gradually dispersed.
The sun had set, and the dark starry sky was lit up with stars, and just as people were indulging in the twists and turns of the story of killing their father and grabbing the throne, the white-haired old man walked out of the inn gate and came to the crowded street.
After the old man determined the direction, he was about to leave with staggering steps, but at this moment, the pitch-black sky suddenly lit up with a red light, like a blood arrow flying from the center of Ximen City, like a thick blood python quickly rolled up to the old man.
Under the terrifying gaze of everyone, the red light was violently pulled, and the old man was torn in half in an instant, blood splattered, internal organs fell to the ground, and blood flowed like a river.
"Peng!" The blood light shook, standing vertically on the blood beach, bursts of red light emitted, reflecting half of the sky like a pool of blood.
This is a piece of cloth, two meters high, blood-red, no different from ordinary cloth, fluttering in the wind, like a five-star red flag fluttering in the wind.
"It's a canopy!" everyone suddenly came back to their senses and exclaimed, shocked, their eyes shrunk into a small dot.
"Huh?" Jiang Chen frowned, and said secretly in his heart: "It's really a good show, wave after wave, it seems that I didn't come in vain today, hey, that's gone." ”
When Jiang Chen was happy, he was stunned to find that the cloaked old man sitting opposite had disappeared for some time, and even his second-line spiritual sense did not notice when he left.
shook his head, his eyes narrowed slightly, staring at the street where everyone was screaming, and the corners of his mouth couldn't help twitching, so that an old man who had no power to fight was wiped out, and the person who shot it was also quite vicious.
"Dada-da-da!"
Under the starry night sky, the streets were dead again, and only the sound of flirtatious footsteps came slowly from the direction of the city.
Although the footsteps were light, each sound was like a heavy hammer hitting people's hearts, causing everyone's faces to gradually tense and their blood to stagnate.
"It's you old man again, who has wanted to kill you for a long time, and is getting more and more excessive, spreading rumors everywhere, although this rumor is true. ”
Some sounds of eating and laughing came slowly from the direction of the city, making people's hearts tense and tightened, and they didn't dare to come out.
"It's Yanagigami!" someone said in a trembling voice.
As the footsteps approached, it gradually became denser, and there should be quite a few people.
After a while, more than a dozen figures appeared in the distance of the street, and it was a dozen middle-aged men in the evening.
Liu Shang liked to enjoy everyone's surprised gaze, like a gloomy face looking at the world, and walked up to the old man's tragic corpse step by step, smiled coldly, and kicked half of the corpse away.
As soon as he raised his hand, he pointed to the frightened crowd and spun it around, and said disdainfully: "Don't let me hear your voices discussing our family affairs again, otherwise the consequences will be like him." ”
Immediately, Liu Shang stomped the old man's head with a heavy kick, and the pink and white brains splashed all over the ground, disgusting.
People didn't dare to come out, as if they were suffocating, and the atmosphere was extremely cold.
"Let's go!" Liu Shang smiled disdainfully, put away the canopy weapon, and led a dozen indifferent middle-aged men to the city gate, leaving the sluggish crowd.
"It's really not an ordinary person to be so rampant!" Jiang Chen said in horror: "It's just a small instrument rank five seals, isn't there anyone who dares to resist?" Cultivating as a person who is higher than him, there are no less than five people present. ”
Jiang Chen was the only one here who was not shocked by Liu Shang, and when everyone was still trembling slightly, he had already opened a room in the inn, lay on the bed, and muttered to himself: "I don't know how Master Mo Feiyun is now!"
"Boy, it's time for adventure!" Bai Ze said excitedly as he emerged from his immortal pupils.
"Are you interested in those hundred weapons?" Jiang Chen said with a roll of his eyes, although he was also a little excited, but he didn't want to find out now.
"No, I'm interested in what happened to the thirty-three days that little girl disappeared. Bai Ze said with a smile.
