......

The man was dressed as a beggar, with a child's body and a child's face, if he didn't look closely, no one would notice the former's abnormality, but after Ou Chuyang took a closer look, he suddenly found that this child's hands were as rough as a human being, and this roughness was not accumulated from long-term farm work. However, what surprised Ou Chuyang the most was that in addition to this person's appearance, more of a delicate waist card was exposed on his waist. This waist card, Ou Chuyang not only knows, but also is very familiar with, it is the symbol of the gray magpie.

"The fact that the Grey Magpie's man is here means that Owen should be here too. Ou Chuyang thought of it for sure, and said to Xu Jie'er in a low voice: "Follow me." ”

After speaking, Ou Chuyang followed the short figure quickly.

Xu Jie'er, who was still admiring the grandeur of the Dark City, saw Ou Chuyang's solemn expression, and it was inconvenient to ask more, so she followed with doubts.

The short beggar walked into the city, and when he met people, he bowed his head and waist, stretched out his hand to beg for it, and he looked like a beggar, and his performance was extremely natural. However, all this is full of loopholes in Ou Chuyang's eyes. Not to mention anything else, just the thief's slippery eyes made Ou Chuyang suspicious.

The beggar walked around the city, walked through the streets and alleys, and stopped from time to time, counted the copper coins in the broken bowl in his hand, and finally went to a secluded alley, found a corner, lay on the ground, and fell asleep, and behaved the same as an ordinary beggar, and did not see anything unusual at all.

Ou Chuyang and Xu Jie'er, who followed the beggars, hid at the entrance of the alley, very puzzled.

"Hey, what are you doing with him, it's almost time. Seeing that Ou Chuyang had been paying attention to this beggar, and she hadn't noticed anything unusual, Xu Jie'er couldn't help urging anxiously.

Ou Chuyang waved his hand, made a silent gesture, and said disapprerovitically: "Don't worry, didn't Xiao Hei go first, and then wait." ”

It turned out that Ou Chuyang came all the way from Zixiao City to go to Haoming's invitation a few days ago. Originally, Zixiao had just replaced the Poison Gate and became one of the Four Kings of Darkness, and he had nothing to do with Haoming at all, and Ou Chuyang didn't want to come. However, the things mentioned in Haoming's letter did not make Ou Chuyang have to pay attention. After careful consideration, Ou Chuyang only needed to bring the black lightning and Xu Jie'er to the dark city together.

Although he hadn't seen Hao Ming, the fact that Hao Ming had set the location of the invitation in Dark City, not his Black Rock City, made Ou Chuyang a little admired. After all, this Dark City is the center of the four major forces, while Black Rock City is Haoming's territory. Haoming's intentions are self-evident, he is showing that he is not disgusted with the three kings, but sincerely has important things to discuss.

Because of this, coupled with the gathering of the four kings, Ou Chuyang immediately thought of the fire dragon banquet not far away, except for this matter, Ou Chuyang couldn't think of why Haoming wanted to gather everyone.

Just as he was thinking about it, suddenly the beggar who had been sleeping soundly in the alley woke up and turned around. Standing up slowly, the beggar stretched his waist, and then began to clean up the trivial rags placed under his feet, and after cleaning up, the beggar did not leave, but looked left and right uncharacteristically, and then, intentionally or unintentionally, threw a broken jar on the wall, making a crisp sound.

Seeing the beggar behaving like this, Ou Chuyang was overjoyed, knowing that he had guessed correctly, and the action of throwing the jar must be a joint code.

Just as Ou Chuyang thought, after the beggar was like this, a jar was suddenly thrown in from outside the wall, and the beggar was happy when he saw this, and his person suddenly changed his decadent appearance, and with a slight touch of his feet, he jumped on the wall and turned over.

Xu Jie'er was stunned when she saw this, and then turned her head to look at Ou Chuyang in surprise, and said, "You already know?"

Ou Chuyang smiled meaningfully and said softly, "Come." ”

After saying that, the two of them quickly ran to the end of the alley and jumped on the wall as well. Wait for them to show their heads and look down. On the other side of the wall was a small courtyard, in which only an old woman was struggling to carry water, and there was no one else.

Glancing at the old woman lightly, the two of them smiled knowingly. With Ou Chuyang and Xu Jie'er's current realm, it was easy to find that there was a faint energy fluctuation on the old woman's body, which showed that the old woman was a martial artist. A warrior can't even carry water? No one would believe this at all. So, this old woman is very problematic.

At this time, the old woman also found Ou Chuyang and Xu Jie'er on the wall, but she raised her head and said to the two of them just like the reaction of ordinary women: "Whose kid is it, it's okay to lie on the wall." ”

Hearing this, Ou Chuyang and Xu Jie'er were not pretentious, jumped into the courtyard, looked directly at the old man, and Ou Chuyang said: "Magpie dance in the West Mountain, Ou Ban Ou Ban." ”

As soon as the words came out, the old woman showed a surprised look, but then she was covered up by the former, and the old woman smiled: "Doll, the eldest lady doesn't know any poetry, tell me that this eldest lady doesn't understand, let's go, Ou wants to make the family anxious." ”

As soon as Ou Chuyang heard it, he immediately heard that the last sentence was the Ou family's code language, and smiled lightly, the former took out the gray magpie token that Ou Chuyang Peng had given him from the ethereal ring, handed it forward, and said, "Where is Owen?"

As soon as the old woman saw what Ou Chuyang had taken out, she threw down the bucket in her hand violently, pounced on it, and said respectfully: "Subordinate Xitang Fang Jin, meet the Lord Ling, dare to ask the Lord Ling is..."

"Ou Chuyang, old man, please get up, where is Owen?" put away the gray magpie order, Ou Chuyang replied with a smile.

The old woman slowly stood up and said softly, "Lord Ou Tang is here now, Lord Ou Ling, please come with the old woman." ”

As she spoke, the old woman led Ou Chuyang and Xu Jie'er, who looked shocked, into the broken thatched hut. Closing the door of the house, the old woman went straight to the stove, put down a large pot sitting on the top of the stove, and slapped the stove with one palm. The coal slag used as a disguise inside was raised one after another. Then, under the guidance of the old woman's internal qi, she landed in the corner. Then, Ou Chuyang and Xu Jie'er saw that a closed lattice was exposed.

I knocked on the grid a few times rhythmically, and after a while, the grid actually opened, revealing a black hole.

The old woman smiled lightly, pointed to the black hole, and said to Ou Chuyang and the others: "Lord Ling, please." ”

Ou Chuyang looked at the black hole, smiled in his heart, and said in his heart: "It seems that this Owen is not having a good time here, he actually lives in this kind of place, and he is still underground." ”

Thinking of this, Ou Chuyang did not stop and jumped down.

In the pitch-black underground, there was no light filament, and Ou Chuyang could only see the long tunnel in front of him with the faint purple light emitted from his body. There seems to be a faint light flickering at the end of the tunnel.

Ou Chuyang and Xu Jie'er walked forward slowly, one after the other. It didn't take long for them to come to a boulder. As soon as it stopped, the boulder moved from right to left, making a muffled roar.

As soon as the boulder was opened, the light of the illuminating crystal was reflected inside, and inside the door, there were five or six people dressed as beggars who had seen before looking at Ou Chuyang and Ou Chuyang with a wary expression.

With a calm smile, Ou Chuyang paced forward, and as soon as he entered inside, he asked, "Where is Owen?"

A faint voice rang out, echoing in the small hole, and then a long-lost voice came from the cave.

"Ou Chuyang, Jie'er, why are you here? The voice trembled a little, and it was clear that the person who spoke was a little surprised and surprised.

Although this voice has changed a few years ago, it is not difficult for Ou Chuyang to hear that this is Owen's voice.

Looking in the direction where the voice came from, I saw that Owen ran out of nowhere, and ran to Ou Chuyang with a surprised face, and said, "Why are you here?" And Jie'er, how do you know I'm here?"

Seeing Owen, Ou Chuyang was relieved, originally thought that he would be able to find Owen quickly after coming out of Xiaodang Mountain more than a year ago, but he didn't expect that he had been delayed in Black Poison City for more than a year, and Ou Chuyang was really afraid that Owen would have something happen in Dark City. After all, this is a place where people eat people and don't spit out bones, and with Owen's strength, there is really no life guarantee.

Now seeing Owen standing in front of him safe and sound, Ou Chuyang said relaxedly: "I came out of Xiaodang Mountain more than a year ago, and I planned to come to you directly, but something delayed on the way, so..."

After Ou Chuyang's personality changed, this was the first time he showed an innocent expression, no way, the friendship between the two was established in the holy land after all, although Owen also knew that Ou Chuyang was the same clan, but the friendship between the two was not affected at all because of the clan rules.

"It's good to come, come, sit down and say. Owen pulled away the subordinates gathered together, made a way, and led Ou Chuyang and Xu Jie'er to a separate room.

A few people sat down, Owen asked someone to serve tea, and then he opened the topic and said, Owen has been in the dark city for several years, for the cause of his biological father's death, the former resolutely gave up his transcendent martial arts talent, and devoted himself to the investigation of the attack on the eight families. As a breakthrough, it is also a thunderous change that affects the survival of the Ou family, Owen has been investigating for three years, and finally has a clue.

"Over the years, how have things been investigated?" Because he was still in a hurry to go to Haoming's appointment, Ou Chuyang didn't even hold the teacup, and asked as soon as he opened his mouth.

Owen turned his finger around the teacup and smiled bitterly: "I found a clue, but it's not very exact." ”

"Oh?" Ou Chuyang kept looking at Owen with a slight surprise in his eyes. With Ou Chuyang's understanding of Owen, there is almost nothing he can't think of or do, as long as he works hard, he will definitely do things to the point that ordinary people can't understand. But the expression that Owen showed at the moment surprised Ou Chuyang.

"After so many years, even you can't be close?" Ou Chuyang asked, not quite convinced.

Owen put down his wine glass, a trace of bitterness appeared on his face, and said: "When it comes to finding out the news, of course the gray magpie is very strong, but this is a dark city after all, we have no foundation, and some things cannot be carried out." ”

"It's an easy question. Ou Chuyang smiled and said, "It's better to tell me the news you inquired about and listen to it, there are some things that need my help, I can do it." ”

"You?" Owen asked in surprise, obviously not believing that Ou Chuyang had this strength: "This is too important, that person is also very tricky, he is one of the four kings of darkness." ”

"Haoming. Ou Chuyang looked at Owen with deep meaning, without a half-surprised expression.

"You know?" Owen's eyes widened unexpectedly.

At this time, Xu Jie'er couldn't help but stammer: "I thought you were so capable, this matter has been investigated for so many years, do you know the recent changes in the dark city?"

This sentence obviously intended to satirize Owen, but Owen's performance made Ou Chuyang and Xu Jieer speechless again.

Just shaking his head, Owen looked at the two strangely, clearly not knowing what they were talking about.

After a pause, Owen seemed to think of something, hurriedly took out a letter from his arms, opened it in a hurry, and was immediately shocked: "The poison gate has been destroyed?

Ou Chuyang smiled, picked up the teacup and took a sip, and nodded immediately.

Seeing that Ou Chuyang was silent, Owen immediately understood that the news on this letter could not be more true. Surprised, Owen didn't know what to say, so he could only raise his thumb and gesture at Ou Chuyang, with a look of admiration.

Then, Owen laughed at himself and said, "Don't blame me, I've been busy lately, and I've ordered the people below to put everything aside for the sake of the thunderstorm, and this..."

Owen threw Xinsun on the table and said, "I just brought it by my subordinates." ”

"I really don't understand, the Dark City has been rumored, but you don't know if you're an inquirer. Hmph!" Xu Jie'er said angrily, obviously dissatisfied with Owen's friend's neglect of the two of them.

Seeing this, Ou Chuyang smiled slightly and asked again, "Is it because of Haoming's matter that you put your energy here?"

"It's not just Haoming, there is another person to check now. Owen nodded.

"Who?"

"One of the four servants of the Hao family, Liang Fei. ”

"Liang Fei?" Ou Chuyang had heard of this foreign name, it was still the news that Chen Yuan inquired about, and he got it recently, but he didn't expect that one of the four servants of the Hao family mentioned by Chen Yuan at the beginning was Liang Fei.

The four servants of the Hao family, Hao Ming, and the thunder and nine changes. Vaguely, Ou Chuyang seemed to have grasped something, but it was still a little vague and he was not sure. He asked, "Tell me about him." ”

"After your father Ou Lingfeng was expelled from the family, he changed his name and surname, calling himself Haotian. He has four domestic servants, namely Liang Fei, Fang Jingyan, Shi Yang, and Cui Jie. Recently, I found out that since your father passed away, these four people have disappeared since then, but recently, I finally found one of them, that is, the whereabouts of this Liang Fei. You also heard that the Nine Transformations of Thunder may be in Haoming's hands, and I want to check Haoming, we don't have this strength, and this Liang Fei is currently Haoming's big butler, so I plan to start with him. Owen said briefly, but he seemed annoyed.

"Fang Jingyan, that's the old man's son. Ou Chuyang almost exclaimed in surprise in his heart, and said in his heart: Is there something hidden here?

The more Ou Chuyang thought about it, the more strange it became, countless clues were tangled together in his mind, and he couldn't help but ask puzzledly: "I've heard about this too." However, if you want to check Liang Fei, shouldn't you be in Black Rock City, why did you come here?" asked Ou Chuyang.

"Because Liang Fei has come to the Dark City not long ago, not only him, but Haoming is also here. ”
