The gate of the Chu family.

Yao Chu frowned, looking at this place that even he had been looking for for a long time, he felt a little strange in his heart.

The other families occupy the most luxurious location in the city, at least it is absolutely impossible to be so remote. But the Chu family found such a remote area almost close to the city wall, which is really strange.

This place is almost empty, and the houses are all extremely old houses from decades ago, only the Chu family's house is slightly new and solemn.

Even in broad daylight, there are very few people passing by, and the whole house is in dense shadows, which looks eerie.

Facing the yin wind that he didn't know where it came from, Yao Chu hugged Xiao King Kong a little tighter, and slowly knocked on the heavy door of the Chu family.

It is strange to say that the Chu family is such a big family, and no one comes to stand guard at the door. Yao Chu knocked on the door for a while before someone in a thick black robe came to open the door.

"The head of the house has been waiting for a long time...", the person who opened the door could not see the young man clearly, and hid all the information under the black robe, and said in a hoarse voice.

Yao Chu looked at him and curiously pointed to the black robe and asked, "Your Chu family is like this?"

And this person didn't mean to talk to Yao Chu, but just led the way dutifully.

Yao Chu "cut" and stopped talking to this boring person.

Along the way, I passed through a large number of promenade gardens, and it seemed that the entire Chu family did not have much sunlight, the gardens were full of some cold-tolerant and shade-tolerant plants, as for the decorative flowers, there was not one, they were completely extinct here.

Yao Chu was speechless, he didn't understand the Chu family's appreciation style at all, didn't the birds and flowers in other places smell fragrant?

But the strange thing is that there are not a few living people in sight along the way, and the only few people I see are like the leaders in front of them, wrapping themselves tightly, and after seeing them, they all turn around and leave, and soon disappear beyond the walls.

Finally, the leader led him to a hall, where a person was already sitting in a black robe, as if he had been waiting for Yao Chu's arrival for a long time.

After the leader brought it, he left in a hurry, leaving only Yao Chu and another black robe in the hall.

Yao Chu looked at the black-robed man as if he was staring at him, and there were some inexplicable emotions, he raised his eyebrows, he didn't care, he found a chair to sit down, and stared at the black-robed man as well.

Our handsome face can't be seen in vain, we have to look back!

I don't know how many quarters of an hour passed, and the black-robed man finally spoke: "Young Master Yao really deserves to be a young hero, and he is so calm. ”

"Eh, it turned out to be the head of the Chu family, who did I say is sitting here wrapped in a black robe?" Yao Chu pretended to be surprised and teased Chu Wei.

Chu Wei didn't care, and suddenly said solemnly, "Young Master Yao, do you know the purpose of looking for you today?"

"Well, let's talk, I'll listen!" Yao Chu looked like he was listening carefully, but from time to time he took out a piece of bacon from the ring and ate it wantonly, suddenly Chu Wei choked a little, Yao Chu seemed to be just talking casually, and if he could listen to it, I would lose.

Yao Chu seemed to notice Chu Wei's discomfort: "Oh, I'm sorry, I rushed back from outside the city, and I haven't eaten lunch yet, don't care, continue." ”

"Ahem!" Chu Wei paused, rearranged his thoughts and continued: "Do you know why the Chu family is all covered in black cloth and lives in this dark Chu family all day long?"

All at once came such a hot news?

Yao Chu hurriedly swallowed all the food that was bulging in his mouth: "Listen up!"

Chu Wei said slowly: "This matter can be traced back to my father's generation, and he was still the head of the Chu family at that time. ”

"During a certain outing, he accidentally discovered a secret realm, when he was carried away by treasures alone, and his strength encountered a bottleneck, so he had to enter it to find opportunities. ”

But this time, he made a mistake, not only did there be no chance in this secret realm, but there was infinite danger. ”

"Even in it, he was tainted with a strange power... You can also understand it as a curse!"

In short, in the days that followed, although he escaped from the secret realm and ascended to heaven, he was tortured by a curse until the day his life was gone. ”

"But just when we thought he was finally free, the nightmare really came!"

"He just died, and his whole body turned into a puff of black smoke and burrowed into the bodies of all of us! Not only everyone present, but also all the clansmen who had all blood relations with him, all possessed by that curse, even an uncle thousands of miles away!"

Yao Chu listened with relish: "The curse that spreads through blood, are you all cursed?"

Chu Wei didn't speak, he just took off the gloves he had been wearing, and a hideous and terrifying hand appeared in Yao Chu's sight.

"Damn! it's so scary!" Yao Chu was stunned.

Chu Wei's arm was like rotting bark, black scabs with disgusting mucus attached to his arm, and in addition to this, there were clumps of writhing black substance parasitic on his arm, which looked extremely terrifying.

Yao Chu's goosebumps rose: "This curse is so terrifying, no wonder you all have to wear such clothes!"

Chu Wei wrapped his hand tightly and said slowly: "This is not the main reason, there is another factor that we can hardly see the sun, any sunlight shining on the body will cause extremely terrible consequences!"

"But it's not without benefits..."Saying that, Chu Wei smiled bitterly, casually condensed a writhing dark substance, and then put it on the ground, and with a "snort", a big hole appeared in the ground.

"At least we have more power under our control. ”

Yao Chuchu was slightly startled, and asked thoughtfully, "Then you are looking for me..."

"We need help!" Chu Wei directly stated his needs, "Based on some of the things we brought back from my father, we have found an item that may be able to cure this curse!

"Uh... Could it be that I was asked to go to that dangerous place to help you get something?" Yao Chu seemed to understand what Chu Wei meant.

Chu Wei just looked at Yao Chu quietly and didn't speak, but the meaning was obvious.

"That's not going to work! Why should I go to such a dangerous place! Besides, you can't go to a powerful person?" Yao Chu knew very well that this level of dangerous secret realm was useless just by relying on his strength.

"In the secret realm, the cultivation of those who enter will be restricted, and only those who are in the Imperial Spirit Realm and below can enter, so the powerful Imperial Spirit Realm is required. You're a good fit. Chu Wei said quietly, "If there is a condition, you can bring it up, and we can try our best to meet it." If it doesn't work, we won't force it. ”

"You're not the first person we find, and you won't be the last. ”

Chu Wei looked pampered and not surprised, and it seemed that he had found a lot of people and had a lot of experience.

"None of them brought back anything you need?" Yao Chu asked suddenly.

“... Right. ”

"Then they're as cursed as you?"

"As long as we follow our instructions and avoid some dangerous places, most of them are fine, but there are many who have fallen into them, but the rest have not appeared with the same curse as us. ”

“...”

Yao Chu was silent for a while, and asked, "You saved my father, and you also helped me on the way to Tianhe?"

"Yes. ”

"Why?"

“... We want you to owe us a favor, so that you can accede to our request. Chu Wei did not hide it, and directly told the truth.

Yao Chu was directly choked, I have never seen such a straightforward one!

"Then why did the Black Bear Gang attack the Golden Dragon Gang?" "Since the Chu family has no intention of becoming an enemy of the Yao family, why did they cooperate with the Ling family to attack the Yao family's foundation in the west of the city?

"At that time, we didn't notice your existence, and the affairs outside the Chu family were basically handed over to the vassal family to do, and under normal circumstances, the people of the Chu family would not interfere. ”

"I see. Yao Chu nodded, so that the explanation was clear. Why did the Chu family hardly take any action towards the Yao family, and even Chu Wei took care of Yao Fengxiong so much.

It's okay to say it's good, but it's hard to pay it back.

Yao Chu is now entangled, do you want to help Chu Wei and repay the favor?

Chu Wei was not in a hurry, he sat quietly, without saying a word, and waited for Yao Chu to decide for himself.

"What do you Chu family have to offer?" Yao Chu suddenly asked. For Yao Chu, the danger factor of this matter is too high, and it is obviously not enough for a favor, which is why Chu Wei asked Yao Chu to make a request.

"My Chu family's originally huge family is now split into dozens of families, distributed in a large number of cities, looking for people with the right strength. As long as conditions permit, this force can be concentrated at any time. Chu Wei looked at Yao Chu as if he had the intention of making a move, and said a little bit of information about the Chu family with some excitement.

"Dozens of cities?" Yao Chu smacked his tongue, he didn't expect the Chu family's strength to be dispersed to so many places. And if according to Chu Wei's approach to himself, even if a small number of people don't go to dangerous places, then there are a few families in each city who will owe the Chu family favors!

You can imagine what a terrifying resource this is!

"In that case, I can make a move, but there is one condition!" Yao Chu looked at Chu Wei and squinted, then said firmly, "I want you to mobilize all the power of the Chu family to find something." ”

"Looking for what?"

"A statue of a dragon!"

Yao Chu gave Chu Wei a jade plaque with a dragon statue printed on it.

"As long as you find a place with this statue, I can grant your request. Except, of course, the one outside of Maple Leaf City. ”

Yao Chu still decided to pay off the favor, and by the way, he was helping the old dragon find a statue with revival power, which was barely a double win.

Chu Wei looked at Yao Chu's jade plate, pondered for a moment, and agreed to Yao Chu's request.

Upon learning that Yao Chu might leave, Chu Wei gave Yao Chu a jade stone, which he could inform Yao Chu if there was news.
