Into the World Chapter 24 The Mountains and Rivers Have Spirits, Shi Xian Asks (4)
Hearing this, Wang Changlai just looked away, as if he was guarding against something, and whispered: "There are many people here, so let's talk about it in a place where there are few people." ”
Looking at the suspicious Wang Changlai, Xiao Chen's face remained unchanged, this incident will always change, at least there is nothing to do now, and he can't mess with himself.
Xiao Chen looked at the purple flames surrounding the hillside, and immediately proposed, "The flames seem to be surrounded, and we can only move along this bamboo forest path behind us for now." ”
Commander Zhang naturally discovered this, this purple flame looked extremely charming, and it was extremely dangerous to look at, and when he glanced around, there was only a bamboo forest path behind him, so he said: "Go, enter the bamboo forest!" ”
Everyone gathered at the entrance, but no one wanted to go to the front, passing the buck to each other.
Seeing this, Murong Haoyue offered to walk ahead and lead the way.
"Let's go ahead, I'm strong enough, and I'm better prepared for emergencies!" Murong Haoyue stepped forward and said.
"Girl, righteousness!"
"Thank you, Miss Murong, then I will be responsible for the break, if there is a situation, beckon!" Commander Zhang was very grateful to Miss Murong, and then agreed with her that if there was an accident, he would stop waving his hand.
Xiao Chen and Wang Changlai glanced at each other, and then walked towards the position ahead.
Murong Haoyue walked forward and glanced at Wang Changlai sideways, which made Wang Changlai even more nervous, always on guard against accidents.
There was some darkness in the bamboo forest, but you could still see the stone path under your feet, and the stone statues on both sides were not abnormal, except for the strange expressions, there was no danger, which made everyone's tense nerves relax a lot.
Passing through the bamboo forest, there is a village that falls at the bottom of the valley, presumably it is the small bamboo village in the mouth of the villager, the village looks very large, the bamboo stilt houses are scattered in the valley, you can also see a small stream flowing through the valley, most of the houses are also built along the stream, as for the room next to the cultivated farmland, at this time there are some crops growing, as if someone was planting seeds a few months ago.
Passing by the farmland, Xiaochen pinched it with his hand, the rice was shriveled, and it was obviously not time to harvest yet.
Is there still a house inhabited? Thinking like this, Xiao Chen turned his head and just met the shocked eyes of the king Changlai, the situation in front of him was obviously abnormal, according to what the commander said, the village in front of him had been abandoned for at least 600 years, so who would sow the seeds, unless...
A thought came to Xiao Chen's mind, unless all this in front of him was an illusion, or he had already stepped into the illusion array since he was unconscious.
At this time, another discovery confirmed Xiaochen's judgment.
The village is a bit dilapidated, but the bamboo buildings are still solid, which means that the bamboo house cannot have survived 600 years of wear, and the bamboo will become extremely fragile under the wind and sun for a long time.
"There doesn't seem to be any human beings or living creatures in the village." Xiaochen whispered.
Wang Changlai echoed: "It is indeed strange that there is a fire outside the village, but there is not a single fire inside the village. ”
Walking through the farmland and entering the village, almost all the bamboo houses will have a large number of bluestones at the door, and there are some stone carvings that have been carved half, in addition, there is no living person in the village, but judging from the traces of some items moving and a large number of items scattered in the bamboo houses, the villagers should have walked in an extremely hurry.
Soon after entering the village, Xiaochen and Wang Changlai used the excuse of exploring a bamboo house to leave the large army.
Xiao Chen's mind was swept away, as long as someone walked near the bamboo house, he would be noticed.
Seeing that the surroundings were safe, Wang Changlai sat on the bamboo chair in the house, spread out the fan, and the whole person relaxed.
Wang Changlai looked at Xiao Chen, who was standing on the side with an expressionless face, a hint of strange color flashed in his eyes, and then he hesitated and asked, "Brother Xiao, is that white jade statue still in your hand?" ”
Seeing this, Xiao Chen also glanced at him with a sharp gaze, and then looked away and said, "In his absence, Wang Gongzi knows in his heart, why bother asking Xiao again." ”
Wang Changlai smiled at the corner of his mouth after hearing this, and didn't answer again, he just tried it, and as he expected, the white jade statue was indeed still in Xiaochen's hands, so teaming up with Xiaochen was a good choice.
In this way, some clues can be told to him in order to win his trust.
Thinking of this, Wang Changlai spoke: "Didn't Brother Xiao wonder why I was so careful about that Murong Haoyue before? ”
Hearing this, Xiao Chen also looked away, he did feel that there was something wrong with Murong Haoyue, but it was just a guess, looking at Wang Changlai in front of him, it seemed that he had some conclusive evidence.
"Brother Xiao is aware of what happened in Murong Mansion some time ago." Wang Changlai pretended to be mysterious and said.
This Xiaochen has also heard of it, it seems to be a private matter of the Murong family, and the impact is very great, but the Murong family has issued a gag order, and it is not easy for everyone to discuss it in detail, anyway, all kinds of rumors are flying all over the street.
The Wang Changlai in front of him is the son of the Wang family, who is also the four major families of Huize City, knowing that this is not strange, Xiaochen immediately said lightly: "I have heard about it, but I don't care much about it." ”
Wang Changlai put away the fan, put his mouth close to Xiao Chen's ear and said carefully: "Murong Haoyue is the illegitimate daughter of Murong Tiantian, the contemporary head of the Murong family. ”
"It's okay if you think about this matter carefully, but Murong Haoyue's behavior is to press Murong Tiantian's wife Xi Linru to the ground and slap her face, and Xi Linru is not a fuel-efficient lamp, so she immediately called a group of people from the Xi family to confront Murong Tiantian in the hall."
"The Xi family?" After thinking about it for a while, Xiaochen found some information.
The Xi family is considered to be a powerful family among the second-rate families in Huize City, but listening to Wang Changlai's narration, I am afraid that a violent conflict will break out next.
Wang Changlai continued: "The two parties naturally did not let each other go, and the Xi family also deliberately dragged Murong Tiantian and did not let him go to see Murong Haoyue's mother for the last time, for fear that it would be more troublesome after rescuing people, and under the continuous involvement of several parties, Murong Haoyue became more and more anxious, and in the end, she said that the entire Murong family and the Xi family were speechless. ”
She said, "You were not there when my mother gave birth to me, and now you are so cowardly and subject to others in times of crisis." My mother's time is short, you don't even want to see her for the last time, you are a husband in vain, a father in vain, and I Murong Haoyue don't have a father like you. ”
"I have known for a long time that you are my father, I have been practicing in Yaodan Valley for seven or eight years, all on my own efforts, I don't want to come to you to confess at all, it's just that my mother kept talking to you before leaving, so I came to look for you, and now I know that you are a hypocritical and ruthless villain, you make me feel disgusting!!"
Xiao Chen also sighed slightly when he heard this, like this, this Murong Tiantian is indeed not a good thing.
Then, Murong Tiantian was angry and bloody for a while, a mouthful of blood spurted out, and Murong Haoyue also left without looking back, the rest of the Murong family and the Xi family were unwilling to let her go like this, so they immediately wanted to be arrested and imprisoned, and finally Murong Tiantian personally spoke, and the rest were released. This matter made a lot of trouble, and almost everyone in the house knew about it, even though the Murong family tried to block the news later, it still leaked a lot of news. ”
Xiao Chen was also a little puzzled after hearing this, although she lamented her bumpy fate, but what does it have to do with today's Xiaozhu Village, unless...
At this time, Wang Changlai carefully glanced around and continued, "Do you know who Murong Haoyue's mother is?" ”
"Its name is Zhuqin, and my Wang family naturally investigated after hearing about it, and found out, and it is rumored that Zhuqin is a person from this small bamboo village. Brother Xiao, when I say this, you can understand why I am so careful about that Murong Haoyue. ”
Xiao Chen's heart was a little shocked, if this was the case, then this Murong Haoyue was extremely suspicious, her mother could live for more than 600 years, and naturally she would not be a mortal, at least she was a cultivator above the Jindan stage.
"In this case, if I want Murong Haoyue to take revenge on the Murong family and the Xi family as soon as possible, then naturally I need strength, if it is really her trick to let everyone come here, it means that there are enough items or opportunities for her strength to leap forward." Xiaochen thought about it, and kept skimming the rumors of his previous life in his mind, it seemed that there was no information about Xiaozhu Village, if the scope was expanded a little, to the entire Qizhu District, there would still be none...
It is also normal, the main active range of Xiao Chen in the previous life was in the Wanfeng Domain, where the Ruthless Cliff was located.
"And what does all this have to do with the white jade fairy statue, you and I can be sure that it is because of the white jade statue that it is involved." Xiaochen said at this time.
Wang Changlai's eyes flashed, he knew what the white jade statue was, it was rumored that during the period of the Gu Immortal Court, there was a fairy who fell in the Yushu Mountains, leaving some opportunities, and was praised from generation to generation as a fairy to send fate, but because of the age, few people know about it.
"Since it is the white jade statue as the guide, then this Xiaozhu Village is most likely the place where the rumored fairy left a blessed place after landing, but the fairy statue is now in his hands, it is not easy to do." Wang Changlai thought about it, he had a full understanding of his own strength, and he knew that it would be difficult to kill Xiaochen quickly, so he chose to team up with him.
"After all, I'm ahead in terms of information, so it's a big deal to look at the situation at the last moment and choose whether to turn the other cheek." Thinking like this, Wang Changlai said with an unchanged face: "I don't know this either. ”
Xiao Chen thought in a deep voice: "If there is an opportunity here to make Murong Haoyue quickly become powerful, and the fairy statue in my hand is used as a stool to bring my group here, then no matter what, this fairy statue will be a vital item." Judging from that day, if he was not present, the fairy statue would most likely fall into the hands of Murong Haoyue, so it seems that he only needs to be careful of others at present, and he can sit back and enjoy it. ”
After making up his mind, Xiaochen said indifferently: "There are no clues in the bamboo house, Wang Gongzi, let's go outside to find clues." ”
"Good!" Wang Changlai is quite talkative.
Murong Haoyue was talking to Commander Zhang at this time, watching Xiaochen and Wang Changlai sneakily come out of the bamboo house, she frowned, she had a hunch that it would be difficult for these two people to stir up trouble this time.
"Oh! It's Xiao Gongzi and Wang Gongzi, I don't know if the two of you have found any clues, let's discuss it together, and Miss Murong just made a few good suggestions. Commander Zhang said to the two of them, and there was no disagreement in his words.
"Really? Wang Gongzi and I didn't have much to gain, and the bamboo house was very normal. Xiaochen said unexpectedly, paying attention to the information provided by Murong Haoyue in his heart.
Commander Zhang was also disappointed after hearing this, he just watched the two of them sneak away from the crowd, and thought that the two of them had found some clues to leave, and then continued: "Miss Murong said that we should go to the center of the village to see, there may be any clues there, but for safety, I think everyone should go over together." ”
"I wonder what you two think?"
