Chapter 1037: The Secret of the Gou Family
Gou Shen followed behind the elder of the Gou family, walked only a few steps, and arrived at the end of this small complex, Gou Shen also looked around a little, and found that there are not many houses here, this Gou family hides the family, at most it is just a few dozen people, if the Gou family has no other settlement.
In fact, think about it, this kind of hidden family, how can the number of people not be too much, counting the family members have a hundred and ten people, there are dozens of people who really have strong combat effectiveness, for this Gou family, there are other hidden families How many Xuan Emperor peak level powerhouses, Gou Shen has also guessed, but considering the population of the other party and the terrifying strength of this younger generation of disciples, this number is really not easy to judge.
In the outermost part of this complex, there is a tall tower of the store, about six or seven floors, it should be a very conspicuous building, but Gou Shen did not find anything when he was in the periphery before, and at this time he suddenly saw the tower of the store, and he couldn't help but begin to feel the mystery and strength of the Gou family.
The base of the tower is about ten zhang in diameter, a very large building, in front of the wooden door on the first floor, just feel the moment someone comes, the wooden door immediately began to react, a burst of light on it, circling a few times, and a light that is not very bright directly hit the door of Gou Shen and the elder.
It was only a breath of time, and the light on the gate seemed to suddenly converge in an instant, and then there was a creak, and the door opened.
"Come in with me. ”
As the elder spoke, he had already taken the lead in walking into the black hole, and Gou Shen didn't worry that the other party would harm him, so he followed directly behind and entered this room.
It's just that the moment I entered, the door behind me snapped shut, but the room did not fall into darkness, on the contrary, at this moment, the countless fires in the room burned instantly, and the whole room instantly became bright, as if it was day, and the scenery in the whole room was clearly revealed in front of Gou Shen's eyes, including the surrounding wall decorations, as well as the various tables and chairs in the house, but what surprised Gou Shen was that there were no stairs leading to the second floor in this room.
It was not the pearl of the night that illuminated the room, but a few oil lamps. Those few oil lamps instantly attracted Gou Shen's attention, and Gou Shen couldn't help but look over, only to see that many oil lamps were around him, and there were eight in total, in eight directions in this room. I don't know what kind of magic weapon this oil lamp is, or what kind of fuel is burning in this oil lamp, but in short, the oil lamp burns and emits flames bright enough to make the whole room as bright as day, but there is no dazzling feeling at all.
"This is really amazing, although I have seen the night pearl and seen other things, but this kind of treasure is really the first time I have seen it!"
Gou Shen muttered to himself in his heart, and he had already sat down at the table in the center of the room with the elder. Because there are lamps in all eight directions around, there is no shadow here, and there seems to be no dark corners in the whole room, giving people a sense of mirror.
"Your name is Gou Shen, where is your family, your family, and which family is it?"
Looking at Gou Shen, the elder didn't beat around the bush, and just spoke.
"Hmm......" Gou Shen groaned slightly, naturally he would not say that he had crossed over in a daze, and said:
"The younger generation Gou Shen, when he was a child, he began to wander outside, and he forgot where he came from, but he remembered that his surname was Gou, called Gou Shen, but at that time I also had a storage ring on my body, which brought a lot of Xuanjing, as well as some clothes of our Gou family, and some exercises and the like, these things were lost later, so there was no way to find my family. ”
Gou Shen paused slightly, and then continued:
"So, all these years, the younger generation has been wandering outside alone, and recently, I have thought that if I bring up my reputation, I can get more benefits, so that my separated relatives can know about my savings, and it will be easier to find the separated people. Therefore, the younger generation has begun to develop in Zhongzhou in recent years and made his own reputation. ”
"It was also a few days ago, because of something that happened to Bai Yi, who had been trained outside, that he knew about the existence of the hidden family Gou family, and I wanted to come here to take a look, maybe I could figure out my life experience. ”
As Gou Shen spoke, the elder listened, nodding his head incessantly, and there was no other reaction. It wasn't until he heard Gou Shen finish his words that he opened his mouth and asked himself the following questions:
"Where did you get this gray dress? This dress looks like it fits you now, could it be, you prepared it when you were a kid and put it in your storage ring?"
"Oh, of course not, to be honest, this dress was discovered by accident in a mysterious ruin some time ago, and I also remember that our family, all the people of the Gou family, everyone has to wear gray clothes, even if I left the house, I have always maintained this habit since I was a child, wearing only gray clothes. ”
Gou Shen said, naturally looking at the old man in front of him, paying attention to the other party's reaction. When Gou Shen said something else, the other party did not change in the slightest, but when Gou Shen mentioned gray, he found that the expression on the other party's face had changed slightly, and then he returned to normal.
Just seeing this, Gou Shen knew in his heart that most of this old man knew that he was the gray-robed family of his Gou family, which means that this Gou family was definitely related to his own family. was even more slightly happy in his heart, Gou Shen used various excuses, and used a slightly vague tone to talk about the characteristics of his family, but he didn't dare to say too much.
After all, he had just said that he had left the family when he was very young, and he didn't even know where his family was, and it was barely possible to remember some habits in the family a little, after all, children don't have such a strong view of the region, but if they say it too clearly, they will know that it is fake when they hear it.
If the other party really knows his Gou family and knows his gray robe family, then he should have a strong reaction to what he said, but Gou Shen found that the other party's expression has not changed since then, and he couldn't help but feel a little disappointed in his heart.
After talking like this for a long time, Gou Shen said a lot of things, and finally stopped, and asked the elder of the Gou family:
"Elder, there are only so many things I can remember, and the clues that I can have are all told to you, whether my Gou family has anything to do with the Gou family where you are or not, but it can only be judged by you. ”
In the room, as Gou Shen finished speaking, he fell into silence, and the two people stayed in this quiet environment, surrounded by a peaceful flame.
"Ahem. I don't know how long time has passed, Gou Shen looked at the elder, the elder lowered his head and was silent, knowing that at some point, the sound of two coughs suddenly broke the silence:
"It's hard for me to judge this matter for the time being. ”
Gou Shen's face immediately changed slightly, and his hopeful face instantly brought disappointment.
"A piece of clothing, a tick letter, really can't explain anything, the people surnamed Gou in this world, maybe they were still a family five thousand years ago, the times have changed, and now the Gou family in the world has long been unknown, so I don't know, but this secret method of soul death, in addition to our family, I really haven't heard of other families mastering. ”
At this, the elder suddenly stopped, and after a moment spoke again:
"These things are not easy to say, although I am old, but I don't know much about the history of our family, so you tell me these things, I can't make any judgments, but I have already kept these things in mind, and when I go back, I will ask a few of my old friends, or ask a few other people who hook up the family, maybe I can give you an accurate answer." ”
Although Gou Shen was a little helpless, he still nodded, feeling that this old man seemed to be hiding something from himself, and some of the other party's expressions just now were really a little too bland, as if they were deliberately pretended, which made Gou Shen feel a little weird, but since the other party said that he couldn't be sure now, Gou Shen couldn't help it, maybe the other party really couldn't determine anything, so he had to stand up and said:
"This matter is really troublesome for the elders. Since you can't be sure about this matter, then I won't bother much, and I'll leave today, and when you can be sure, just look for me at any time. ”
The elder nodded, and Gou Shen also bowed slightly, and he had to be a little polite to this elder of his own family, so Gou Shen turned around and walked out of the room.
When I got to the door, it was the same as when I came in, I didn't need to do it myself, and even saved the step of the inspection, the door was opened directly, and the moment Gou Shen stepped out, the door was closed directly.
The moment the door closed, all the lights went out instantly, and the entire hall was instantly plunged into darkness.
After a moment of silence, another voice sounded from the darkness, a voice that was slightly younger than the elder:
"This kid is clearly a member of our Gou family, and he is also a son of the gray robe clan of the Gou family, and even, he is very likely to be the young master of the gray robe clan and the only descendant of the gray robe clan, after all, that gray robe can't be faked, after all, the authentic soul heavenly death technique is not something that outsiders can learn if they want to, and it is even more pure than what we master. But even so, you're saying you're not sure, what exactly are you thinking about?"
It was only after a while that the man had finished speaking that the previous elder spoke:
"This kid, some are dishonest, what he says is true or false, many of them are lies, you can hear it when you hear it, and some of it is true when you hear it, but there are some things, true and false, I don't know if he is telling the truth or not. ”
Saying this, the elder probably showed a frowning expression again, looking very distressed.
"This matter, we must make it clear, the gray-robed clan is also one of the very important families in our Gou family, if this kid is really the young master of the gray-robed clan, then we even have to serve him as the master, and all the people of the Gou clan in the entire continent must obey his orders and must not resist. So, this matter must be clarified, but the point I am most concerned about is that there are no high-level people in this world at all, how did this Gou Shen come to this world?"
