Chapter 122: Family Affairs
"The Zhao family's car is about to pass by, and the idlers are waiting to leave quickly!"
A rough voice rang out in mid-air, resounding through the sky.
Immediately, a huge black shadow shrouded the street below, and the sound of traffic passed through it, and the momentum was overwhelming.
Xie Qingci looked up and noticed that most of the monks who were flying in the sky had taken a step back, as if they were used to this scene, and did not say much.
And those outsiders like her involuntarily took a step back and made way for a wide road.
"Cluck"
The dark shadow was hidden in the sky, and it was a huge car.
In mid-air, five snow-white flying horses flashed their wide wings lightly, and the horses' hooves swept lightly across the traces, and the arc was particularly graceful.
And the sturdy body led the carriage behind it with a rope, and it swept through the sky like this, and the speed was so fast that it flashed like a meteor, and it made people dizzy.
Is it a unicorn?
Xie Qingci was slightly surprised when he saw the pegasus's signature spiral-shaped silver horns on the unicorn's forehead, and then looked at the pegasus's clean and snow-white fur.
The Zhao family actually used unicorns to pull the car, I don't know whether to say it is heroic or wasteful.
This travel honor guard can be said to be extremely popular, vigorous, and occupy the limelight.
Xie Qingci watched silently, and suddenly became interested.
The Zhao family?
Xie Qingci looked at the young man who led the way, raised his chin slightly, and asked, "Is the Zhao family that passed by that party a local family in Liucheng?"
"Yes. The young man's little eyes reluctantly stared at the distant Pegasus on the horizon, full of envy, and replied a little absent-mindedly.
Xie Qingci suddenly thought that back then, four peerless demons were born out of thin air, each developing its own power. Those forces gradually grew under their management, and finally unified and left the state, reorganizing the original intricate demon cultivation world into four major factions, which are now the four major demon gates.
Later, for various reasons, in order to seek stable development, the four major demon sects negotiated and signed a contract, checked and balanced each other, and joined forces to divide most of the land in Lizhou, which also laid the foundation for the four sects to compete for hegemony today.
At that time, although the Daoless Demon Sect was the leader of the Demon Gate, it did not have the strength to absolutely crush it. If the other three sects unite to confront it, even if it is as strong as the Daoless Demon Sect, I am afraid that it will not dare to say that it can completely grasp the initiative and fight three enemies with one.
Therefore, although the Daoless Demon Sect still had the ambition to unify the Demon Cultivation Realm, it was forced by the situation to maintain the current situation.
In order to seek development, the three major sects and the Daoless Demon Sect faintly formed a delicate balance, which caused the current situation.
However, although on the surface, the agreement was signed, the territory was divided, and the well water of each other did not interfere with the river water, but in fact, the small actions of the four demon gates in private have never been less.
Xie Qingci thought of this, and asked, "Which sect is your Liucheng under the control, looking at this position, could it be the Bliss Sect?"
The young man who led the way nodded when he heard this, and said slowly: "What Daoyou said is right, it is the Extreme Bliss Sect. ”
"Our Liucheng was circled to the Paradise Sect when it was divided, and it was under the jurisdiction of the Paradise Sect. And the biggest force in the city, the three major families of Jiang and Zhao, are all inextricably linked with the Bliss Sect, and almost all the children of the family are disciples of the Bliss Sect. ”
"You mean the three major families?" Xie Qingci tilted his head and captured a detail: "If I'm not mistaken, you only said the Jiang family and the Zhao family, and what about the other one?"
"That's right, the three major families are the old names. In fact, hundreds of years ago, there was still a big force in Liucheng, that is, the Tong family. ”
The young man paused, as if recalling something, and said:
"The Tong family is strong, and originally had the strength to compete with the Jiang and Zhao families, but later, for some reason, the entire family was bloodied overnight, and the clansmen were almost slaughtered. Since then, the Tong family's vitality has been greatly damaged, and their strength has plummeted, and they were later removed. ”
"Tong family?" Xie Qingci heard the name, and his pupils shrank slightly.
She repeated it sensitively and asked, "What is the connection between this Tong family and the newly rising Tong family in Longcheng?"
"Actually, the Tong family in Longcheng is the same Tong family in Liucheng at the beginning. The young man's eyes blinked, and his tone was a little regretful: "After the accident, the remnants of the Tong family and others moved away, which can be regarded as automatically giving up their power in Liucheng and returning to the ancestral land where they made their fortune, that is, Longcheng." ”
Xie Qingci's heart moved slightly, and his face suddenly appeared: "So, the Tong family was actually in Liucheng hundreds of years ago, but they moved away later for some reasons. ”
"Yes. ”
Hearing his affirmative reply, Xie Qingci pinched his chin and quickly fell into deep thought.
She originally thought that the Tong family had always been rooted in Longcheng, so she speculated that the legendary Zhouzhuang was also near Longcheng.
Now it seems that it is not right.
If the Tong family's sphere of influence was in Liucheng hundreds of years ago, then Zhouzhuang should probably also be near Liucheng, not Longcheng, which later moved away.
Of course, other possibilities are not ruled out, after all, Longcheng is the ancestral land of the Tong family, but relatively speaking, it is more likely to be in Liucheng.
Xie Qingci blinked, and there was a faint intuition in his heart, there must be some connection between this Zhou Zhuang and the disaster that led to the decline of the Tong family hundreds of years ago.
Even Ah Tie, that is, the death of the former Zhou Wanshan, is also related to the Tong family.
As her thoughts became clearer, she felt as if she had grasped some important clues, just waiting for the results to confirm her thoughts.
Xie Qingci knew in his heart that if he wanted to solve the hidden danger of the long-cherished slave contract, he had to figure out the location of Zhou Zhuang.
And if you want to find this magical Zhouzhuang, it seems that you have to do some research on the history of the Tong family.
"Fellow Daoist, Duobaolou has arrived. ”
The boy's voice interrupted her thoughts.
When she looked up, she saw a splendid attic, with a golden plaque hanging on it, and the three big characters of Duobaolou were written on the dragon and phoenix, which was heroic.
The plaque is bordered with gold leaf, inlaid with beautiful jade, and the luxurious atmosphere that comes to the face is really the familiar style of Duobaolou.
Xie Qingci sent the young man who led the way away, then turned to Ah Tie and instructed:
"You just stay at the door of Duobao Building, find a place to stay, and I'll come when I go." ”
As she spoke, she seemed to think of something, took out four pea-sized blood clotting beads from the storage ring, and quietly placed them in Ah Tie's palm.
She blinked.
"Remember, if someone asks you for trouble, don't cower, give me a hard beating"
Ah Tie's eyelids jumped, nodded silently, and said in a low voice: "Slave understands." ”
Xie Qingci nodded, and after placing Ah Tie, she strode into the Duobao Building, and her figure disappeared.
......
Ah Tie watched quietly, led the scalper and found a place to meditate.
There was not a trace of fluctuation on his face, and he waited quietly.
Suddenly, the light in front of him was obscured by a dark shadow, and a behemoth blocked his vision.
He frowned, raised his head slightly, and saw a slender figure appear under the light and shadow, with a slight smile.
"Huh. ”
The crisp and melodious sound sounded, like a curling piano sound, with a hint of charm.
"The little boy who was with you, where is he now?"
A gust of fragrant wind hit, and a silver bell sounded, long and long.
