Chapter 126: Origin
When Mu Qiyan and Jiang Ning walked into the box one after the other, Zhao Tong was drinking tea with his eyes closed.
He grew a small mustache, raised his hand and gently stroked it, took a sip and said, "Good tea." ”
Then I heard the voice of Mu Qiyan walking in.
Zhao Tong immediately opened his eyes, put down the teacup in his hand, and smiled flatteringly: "Mr. Mu, long time no see." ”
Mu Qiyan pulled Jiang Ning to sit down opposite him, "Long time no see, Teacher Zhao is fine." ”
Zhao Tong looked at Jiang Ning beside Mu Qiyan and said with a smile: "This young lady, we seem to have met somewhere. ”
Jiang Ning: "Teacher Zhao is a noble person, we have met before, I asked you to help me read an ancient book." ”
Zhao Tong had a smile on his face, "Oh, it turned out to be Miss Jiang, look at my brain, when people are old, they are easy to forget." ”
Mu Qiyan took out his mobile phone and put the post that Jiang Ning found out in front of Zhao Tong: "This, it was Mr. Zhao who replied, right?" ”
Zhao Tong's face was slightly defecated when he saw the post, but it quickly returned to normal, and he said with a smile: "This is an anonymous reply, Mr. Mu, you can be sure that it's me?" ”
Mu Qiyan asked, "Isn't it you?" ”
Zhao Tong choked.
Mu Qiyan's eyes were bottomless when he looked at him.
Zhao Tong smiled: "If it's not me, why do I still have such an impression?" ”
Jiang Ning: "Mr. Zhao, if we weren't sure it was you, we wouldn't be able to ask you out today, right?" ”
Zhao Tong laughed, "What Miss Jiang said seems to make sense. ”
He raised his head, his eyes met Jiang Ning's, and he looked serious, "That's right, this message is indeed me, but this post is really not from me." ”
Jiang Ning glanced at Mu Qiyan.
Mu Qiyan picked up the teacup and took a sip, and said lightly: "Let's talk about it, what's going on." ”
Zhao Tong said: "This post was posted a little old, and I accidentally swiped it when I was on the Internet, and I was also cheap, and then I replied to this post."
In order to protect myself, I chose to reply anonymously.
But the next day, I received a private message asking me how much I knew and that he wanted to see me.
Of course, I couldn't have seen him, and I didn't reply to that private message, so I pretended not to see it, and I never logged into that account again, just in case. ”
Saying that, he sighed and continued, "It's just that I didn't expect that Mr. Mu would find me because of this incident." ”
Mu Qiyan said, "Can you still log in to that account now?" ”
Zhao Tong nodded: "This is no problem." ”
As he spoke, he took out his phone and began tinkering.
After fiddling for a long time, he said: "The password is wrong, Mr. Mu, wait a minute, I'll retrieve the password first." ”
Mu Qiyan responded lightly, poured himself a cup of tea, and filled Jiang Ning with a little more.
About ten minutes later, Zhao Tong finally recovered his password and logged in to his account again.
He said, "Okay, log in." ”
Mu Qiyan put down the cup.
Zhao Tong handed the mobile phone to Mu Qiyan, "Mr. Mu, take a look, this is the backstage, alas, I have received a lot of private messages over the years." ”
Mu Qiyan took the phone, and there were many private messages that were automatically released by the system, which had little value, but there were a few private messages that aroused Mu Qiyan's idea.
At the beginning, he sent a private message to Zhao Tong, asking how much else Zhao Tong knew, and the account that invited Zhao Tong to meet had been sending private messages to Zhao Tong one after another in the past few years.
But almost all of them are posted with the same sentence: "Do you have a chance to meet?" ”
"Is there a chance to meet?"
Until last month, the other party sent a different private message.
He said, "We've found another shrine maiden who is rare in a thousand years, and we're going to make her a zombie, brother, are you interested in joining us?" ”
Mu Qiyan looked at this private message, and the time it was sent happened to be a few days before Jiang Ning's last trip to Xiaofeng Mountain.
Mu Qiyan's temples jumped abruptly twice.
Tell him directly that the incident in Xiaofeng Mountain that night must be inseparable from this person.
Mu Qiyan handed the mobile phone to Zhao Tong and said, "Reply to him, just say that you want to meet and see what that witch who is rare in a thousand years looks like." ”
Zhao Tong hurriedly sent it over according to Mu Qiyan's words.
But they waited for more than half an hour, and the other party still did not reply.
Jiang Ning said: "Maybe it's because the other party is abroad? ”
Mu Qiyan pondered for a moment and asked Zhao Tong, "What does the sentence you replied to below the post mean?" The man surnamed Jiang you are talking about, is it Jiang Zhiwen? ”
Zhao Tong lowered his head, looking embarrassed, as if there was something unspeakable.
Mu Qiyan: "You can choose not to say it, I can choose to force you to say it." ”
Zhao Tong gritted his teeth and said, "That's right, it's Jiang Zhiwen, I know, since Mr. Mu and Miss Jiang have found this post, they will definitely ask me this question."
Then I'll confess today, in fact, I'm a witch. ”
Mu Qiyan looked at him with a faint look in his eyes.
This point, in fact, Mu Qiyan knew it for a long time, and when he asked Chen Ming to investigate Zhao Tong, he investigated this point.
So when he heard Zhao Tong reveal his identity, Mu Qiyan was not surprised, and only said lightly: "Go on." ”
Zhao Tong gritted his teeth again and continued: "I know that Mr. Mu, you must have investigated me, and you also know that I am a member of the Wu clan, but you may not know that the Wu clan itself is divided into two factions, the first faction is the mountain faction, which is now familiar to everyone.
But there is another faction, which is the Tibetan Mountain faction.
It is hidden in the mountains all the year round, and only a few young men of the Wu tribe go out of the mountains to purchase goods and provide for the women of the Wu tribe.
Oh yes, the Wu clan of the Tibetan Mountain Sect pursues the supremacy of women and the inferiority of men. Only women can inherit the lineage and provoke the pillars of the family, and only women can learn the true skills of the Wu clan.
Men are all rich, men's status is humble, and the main use is to contact the inside and outside of the mountain, to purchase materials or something.
The witch god mentioned in this post actually existed in real life.
However, those are the distant legends of our tribe.
Legend has it that more than 1,000 years ago, our tribe once had a thousand years of difficult witch maiden, the patriarch of the tribe made the witch stiff, and fed the witch god with the blood of the zombie, the patriarch of the tribe made contributions with the help of the witch god, and finally established the country, but unfortunately the witch god was damaged later, and the country established by our tribe was also short-lived, and was destroyed by the Tang Dynasty.
Later, there was no longer a witch who could be a zombie, and the witch clan declined.
Some of the clansmen moved out of the mountains and lived the life of ordinary people.
But there are still some people, guarding that legend, praying for a witch to appear again, to feed a witch god again, of course, they can no longer make a contribution, they are for promotion and fortune. ”
After Jiang Ning heard this, the whole person was stunned, "Just kidding, believe this kind of thing?" This is obviously the story, how can it be taken seriously? ”
Zhao Tong shook his head: "This is not a story, it is a real thing, the Tibetan Mountain Witch Clan has a historical record, it is true, but later everyone did not find a suitable witch, and this matter became a legend." ”
Jiang Ning frowned slightly: "What does this have to do with my father?" ”
Zhao Tong said: "Actually, I also heard that more than forty years ago, there was a witch girl who could support the witch god again in the witch clan, so she was specially cultivated since she was a child, just to make her a zombie when the time came, but at this time, something went wrong.
After all, it's all a new society now, and it's one thing to think about some things, and it's another thing to actually do it, and I heard that the process of the producer's stiffness was extremely cruel, so the family of this witch, and even the entire witch patriarch regretted it.
They feel that they are very comfortable to live with food and drink now, why do they have to toss these things that may not be successful and hurt nature?
So the women of the Wu clan planned to expose this matter, as if it had never happened.
But at this time, the shrine maiden's father stepped forward.
He was dissatisfied that he could only be a son-in-law, he wanted to be promoted to make a fortune and become a superior man, so he paid attention to this witch.
Just when he was about to make a move, he was discovered and exposed, and the shrine maiden's mother could only escape with the shrine maiden and a few servants.
In order to save her life, the shrine maiden chose a random man and married him.
Because the process of becoming a shrine maiden into a human zombie is very strict, the shrine maiden must be a virgin. ”
After Zhao Tong said this, Jiang Ning's brain turned a few times and asked, "Is the witch you are talking about my mother?" ”
Zhao Tong nodded: "Yes." ”
Jiang Ning said with difficulty: "Then I, won't I be another witch?" ”
"This ......", Zhao Tong didn't know what to say, he said: "I don't know if you count, because although your mother is a witch, Jiang Zhiwen is not, so whether you count or not, I don't know." ”
Jiang Ning: "So, why did my father kill my mother?" Does it have anything to do with this legend? ”
Zhao Tong hurriedly shook his head and said: "I think this should be okay, after your mother married your father, she was actually a waste chess piece, and she had no use value, your father killed your mother, it should be completely a scumbag who killed his original wife for the sake of the little lover outside." ”
Mu Qiyan laughed and said, "Don't you think, do you know too much?" ”
Zhao Tong hurriedly said: "I told everything I know, Mr. Mu, you can't do anything to me." ”
Mu Qiyan: "Let you go, now it's a society under the rule of law, what can I do to you?" ”
Zhao Tong breathed a sigh of relief, and said to Jiang Ning again: "A word of advice, anyway, you should be careful of your father and your stepmother." ”
Jiang Ning: "Thank you. ”
Out of the tea house, Jiang Ning asked Mu Qiyan: "You say, did he really finish everything he knew?" ”
Mu Qiyan laughed and said, "How is it possible, he didn't even say where he heard these news, how could he have said it." ”
