Chapter 82: Intricate
Lin Chaoyang looked sideways at Lin Chaoyun in the chair, and the old brother was still panting in front of him! He didn't speak, but his eyes were full of anticipation.
"I've been staring at the Yang family for the past two days, and I didn't find anything, I was followed when I came back just now, and I don't know if it's the Yang family. Lin Chaoyun said with palpitations, and did not forget to turn over the water cup on the case.
Lin Chaoyang glanced at him: "Hmph, father and son have a virtue, and they know how to drink water when they come in." ”
Dissatisfied and nagging, he got up and picked up the kettle to refill the water, feeling like a shopkeeper tonight. Lin Chaoyang put down the kettle and covered the stopper, then turned his head and asked, "Someone followed you, so you swaggered into the Lin house?"
"Hah...... I was covered in a black cloth, and even his eyes couldn't tell who I was! Lin Chaoyun said confidently, and the next moment his brows were slightly furrowed, thinking about something.
"What's wrong?" Lin Chaoyang asked casually.
Lin Chaoyun shook his head and doubted: "I saw someone from Taixumen in Skull Alley, it seems that it should be Lu Ling, but what is she doing there?"
Now the people of Taixumen often walk around Liaocheng, and tonight they saw Lingling from afar, Lin Chaoyun was a little puzzled in his heart. As an elder of Taixumen, what is the purpose of Ling Ling appearing in a place like Skull Lane?
Lin Chaoyang, who had just sat back, Huo Ran got up and paced back and forth, turned around and leaned down to Lin Chaoyun and said: "Pay more attention to the movements of Taixumen and the Yi family, it is rumored that the second son of the Yi family was injured and fell into the country some time ago, I am afraid there must be a connection." ”
"That's right! Skull Lane is the Yi family's property, how can I forget this stubble! Lin Chaoyun got up and gave up his hand.
"Go ahead!"
Lin Chaoyang looked at the door that had not been closed and was stunned, and occasionally there was a noise in the distance outside, which made him sigh.
Ling Ling appeared in Skull Alley, could it be that the Taixumen had already colluded with the Yi family? It is not strange to say that others appeared there, but the elders of the Taixumen have never been involved in the world, and appearing in the Skull Alley tonight had to make Lin Chao suspicious.
The four families in Liaocheng are strong, and the Yang family has been the first family for several years, and it is inevitable that some families are unwilling to be left behind, and it is impossible to say that they are secretly plotting. Thinking of these, Lin Chaoyang was full of lines.
While he was meditating, a young man was passing by the gate of the Lin Mansion and stopped in front of the luxurious mansion.
On both sides of the gate, there are two large lion statues, more than two meters high. The two guards held the hilt of the sword, and looked at the young man two feet away vigilantly, even though they looked insignificant standing under the lion, but the momentum exuded from their bodies did not give the mansion any loss of face.
"Mu Xiao, this is the Lin Mansion, are you sure you want to go in?"
The black dragon looked at the bright lights inside and asked in a low voice. In his memory, this place should have been an ordinary house, but now it has become a luxury house. This time I came back, everything in Liaocheng was wrong.
"No, there's no reason!
After Mu Xiao finished speaking, he stepped forward, and looked back meaningfully, the dragon and phoenix danced on the door beam (Lin Mansion), and he already thought about it in his heart between grinning.
A small bend further on, there is a large street full of traffic. Even though it's night, it's still bustling, with rows of lanterns hanging high to illuminate the long street. Unlike Tianyuan, there are no spring buildings and taverns on the streets. Occasionally, I see one or two restaurants, which look serious on the surface.
Because of this, young people in Liaocheng like to go to the border city of Niluo Street for a walk. But this does not affect the prosperity of Liaocheng, and the streets are lined with a variety of goods. There are toys, snacks, antiques, and even weapons sellers
The shop is also overcrowded.
Mu Xiao squeezed sideways through a noisy crowd, the crowd in front of him huddled tightly, and occasionally a fire flashed between them. This is a world of Jianghu people's performances, in addition to the fire-breathing performance, you can also hear bursts of melodious music, and there are also applause from the audience.
Juggling is people's favorite skill to watch, but Mu Xiao was attracted by the old man who was cool on the side. The white cloth is fluttering, and the word (fortune telling) can barely be seen on some torn white cloths. The white cloth was held up by a bamboo pole that had been polished and smooth, and the other end of the bamboo pole with a little brown was inserted in the crack of the stone slab in the ground, and the breeze swayed together.
The old man has white hair, and his eyelids that are deeply sunk into the interior occasionally move, as if he is closing his eyes to recuperate?
Mu Xiao walked forward, and the black dragon followed behind and said, "You are also a fortune teller?"
"It's not important, what's the point of taking a look?" Mu Xiao smiled back.
The two of them walked towards the old man, one after the other. Before stepping into the old man's first meter, the old man's calloused hand was lightly touched, and the bamboo skewers placed in front of him shook slightly.
"The old man misunderstood, we were just passing by, and we didn't count our lives!" Mu Xiao said with a smile.
The old man did not speak, Mu Xiao frowned, this breath is so familiar, and the invisible power of his right palm is secretly out.
Bang, the bamboo tube in front of the old man suddenly cracked, and the bamboo sticks were scattered all over the ground. The old man's hand was raised, and the dirty and greasy cuffs suddenly surged. The brutal power surged towards Mu Xiao, and the palm that Mu Xiao placed on his waist flipped over.
Airplanes!
The invisible power secretly rotated along the skin surface of the body, and the old man's strength was not hostile, Mu Xiao raised his eyebrows and secretly opened the dantian. The body is like a hollow, absorbing the power of the old man into the body.
The two of them secretly operated for only a few moments, and the black dragon looked at the broken bamboo tube on the ground in surprise and puzzled.
"What's going on?" whispered to the black dragon.
Mu Xiao grinned: "This is going to ask this senior!"
Mu Xiao took a few steps forward and picked up a bamboo stick, which was only two feet away from the old man at this time.
Mu Xiao said happily: "The younger generation has a lot of things that are not clear, can you bother the old ones to solve their doubts?"
The old man's eyes in front of him were still closed, and his dry white beard moved slightly: "The old man's fortune-telling remuneration has never been high, since the little friend has a request, how about the old man doing a good job, and a pot of wine should be counted as gold?"
"Very good!" Mu Xiao said as he stretched out his hand to help the old man up.
The black dragon behind was puzzled, when did Mu Xiao, this kid, believe in his fate. is so interested in this old man, it seems that he is just a charlatan.
"Mu Xiao, you really want to tell fortunes, you look at him who has calculated all his life, and counted himself like this, do you still believe him?"
The old man packed up his belongings, and the black dragon pulled Mu Xiao behind and whispered.
Mu Xiao glanced at him and then smiled: "I'm just unclear about some things, I want to ask the seniors, this has nothing to do with fortune telling." ”
couldn't hold it back, couldn't persuade it, and the black dragon had to follow behind the two. Two young men walked down the road with a fortune teller, which attracted a lot of discussion. This fortune teller has been in Liaocheng for many days, and he has set up a stall here for several days, and he has never seen any customers. Most of them were charlatans, and when they saw that they were taken away, everyone pointed their fingers.
"I guess it's messing with young people!"
"It should be, you see that the bamboo skewers have been knocked over"
"Although he is a liar, he is also an old man, these two guys are a little excessive"
In the eyes of everyone, the fortune teller was captured by Mu Xiao and the black dragon. Mu Xiao looked indifferent, holding the old man's hand and continuing to walk forward, the black dragon was full of embarrassment, secretly no
I know that I scolded Mu Xiao a few times.
Walking to a somewhat dim alleyway, the old man looked left and right, and dropped the bamboo pole in his hand.
A burst of white mist rose, and an incredible scene occurred in the old man's body, his thin hands became plump, and his hair, which was originally as white as snowflakes, turned black in an instant. The moment his eyes opened, the black dragon suddenly took a few steps back.
In front of him was a gray-haired old man, obviously a strong man in his forties.
"Mu Xiao! Our brothers meet again. ”
The man smiled and looked at the stunned Mu Xiao excitedly and said.
Mu Xiao closed the boss's open mouth, and almost shouted as he looked at Ah Sang in front of him. It's been a few months, and the old brother who originally said that he would go to the rivers and lakes together has disappeared for several months, and he is reunited in this way. I felt that the breath was very familiar just now, but I didn't expect that the old man was pretending to be Ah San.
"Brother, it's really you, how did you become an old man?" Mu Xiao stood in front of Ah Sang before he came to his senses and asked with some amusement.
At this time, the black dragon leaned up again, and said in a sneering voice: "It's me who has no eyes and no beads, and I still treat you as a charlatan!"
"Oh, this is my brother Black Dragon I met in Tianyuan," Mu Xiao patted the Black Dragon and introduced to Ah San.
Ah Sang looked at the black dragon and squinted his eyes and said, "The younger generation of the Yang family, it really looks like his father back then." ”
"You know that, too?"
Mu Xiao and the black dragon said in unison, it stands to reason that Brother Asang has not traveled together during this time, but he actually said the identity of the black dragon. I'm afraid that in this Liaocheng, except for Yang Dajin and others, he is not the only one who knows this secret.
Ahsan led the two into a dark alley and stopped at the door of a house with a neat carving on the door panel (3 Skull Lane).
The door was not locked, Ah Sang pushed the door in one hand, and a stone slab in the middle of the house was paved with a table, and a few stone piers were simply placed around it as stools, simple but not broken.
"This is Skull Alley, remote and quiet, I just came to Liaocheng for a few days to see that it is very good, so I rented it. Originally, I went to Tianyuan, but you had just left for two days, so I came here directly, and I never thought that you would take a detour to the border city. ”
Ah Sang was chattering while closing the door, but Mu Xiao behind him was a little surprised. How can this family know everything, is it true that it will count something?
"Brother, how did you know that we went to the border city?" Mu Xiao couldn't help but ask.
Stepping into the door, Ah Sang Award lit a lamp, walked to the table and lifted the kettle to pour water for the two of them: "What you did in the border city, I'm afraid that now several family heads in Liaocheng know about it", looked at the black dragon and continued: "So the situation of the black dragon is very dangerous. ”
"Is it ......?"
At the beginning, Yang Dajin and the others in the border city left a few days in advance, I am afraid that there is something greasy in this, and when I think of this, the black dragon is angry.
"The heart of guarding against people is indispensable!" Mu Xiao patted him on the shoulder and said meaningfully.
The black dragon gritted his teeth: "It seems that this time in Liaocheng, we have to be more careful, it is estimated that the attack in the forest that day was also done by the Yang family." If you come back, you're going to kill me!"
"Brother Mu Xiao, what are you going to do next?" Ah Sang knew the purpose of Mu Xiao's trip, but at the moment, Liaocheng was complicated, and with his current strength, he was afraid that he would not be outnumbered, and his body was injured and had not recovered, so he could only reluctantly perform the disguise technique, I am afraid that he would not be able to help.
"Let's go to Taixu Town first, learn about Taixu Gate, as for Liujiazhuang, I still have a weak heart, and wait first!"
Ah Sang nodded with satisfaction, as he thought, he could only sort out the relationship between these families in Liaocheng and Taixumen before he could find a countermeasure. Coupled with the grievances between the black dragon and the Yang family, I am afraid that it will be difficult to clear up.
