Chapter 056: A Mysterious Thing
Chi Yao couldn't help but glance at the young man beside him, and said with a smile: "How can the eldest brother see it?"
The eldest brother laughed suddenly, attracting onlookers from the people around him, "That's it, I'll tell you straight, anyway, this is not a secret in Modu City." ”
Chi Yao and the young man were delighted, leaned closer, and listened carefully.
"Fang Cai's black-bearded old man is not a good person, he has been helping the Bai family before. ”
"Bai family?" Chi Yao couldn't help but interrupt, only then did he remember, who is this Bai family, "It's the Bai family of the demon clan?"
The eldest brother nodded and said: "Exactly, that black-bearded old man used to be a guest of the Bai family, and he followed the Bai family to do a lot of bad things, but a while ago, for some reason, he was kicked out by the Bai family for no reason." I happened to meet the chivalrous and righteous plain-clothed Taoist just now, although this Taoist is a little rude, not as elegant as the appearance, but he is definitely a chivalrous and righteous person, he accepted this scourge on the spot, and all of us who live in Modu City are grateful to him. ”
When the young man beside Chi Yao heard this, he lowered his head a little embarrassed.
The eldest brother didn't care when he saw it, and said: "This young man doesn't have to take this matter to heart, as the saying goes, those who don't know are just that!"
The young man could only laugh and laugh, but thinking about the words of the black-bearded old man, he became more and more confused.
"Big brother, do you know why that old man with black beard was kicked out?"
The eldest brother glanced at Chi Yao and the young man, and was only slightly stunned, "I just heard that he had something to do with an incident half a year ago." ”
"Half a year ago?"
"Yes, it makes people feel mysterious to talk about it. The eldest brother continued to keep his voice low, and only the three people left could hear it.
"Half a year ago, on the night of the full moon, Mo Ducheng suddenly disappeared several men, all of them were young men who had never married wives, and when they disappeared at first, everyone didn't seem to care, because these people were all street gangsters who didn't know how to learn and loved to go to the kiln, even if they were gone, the family would only think that they had gone somewhere.
But since then, a group of people have disappeared every full moon night, as little as ten, as many as a hundred, making the people of this Modu City panic. The identities of these people went from street gangsters to the children of the family, which alarmed the three major families, and the three major families intervened to control them. ”
The young man asked, "Then why don't you leave?"
The eldest brother glanced at the young man up and down, and said: "Young man doesn't know, our people who were born and raised in Modu City will never leave here, our ancestors swore a poisonous oath in this place, and our children and grandchildren must live here and must not go out." ”
The eldest brother glanced around, lowered his voice more and more, and said: "The two of you don't know, although our Mo Ducheng is represented by immortals, people, and demons, the Zhuang, Zhao, and Bai families are mutually restrictive and interdependent, but in recent years, the Bai family has really grown trend, but that strange thing happened near the ancestral tomb of the Bai family. ”
Chi Yao frowned slightly, "Isn't it in the southern suburbs of the city?"
The eldest brother raised his eyebrows, glanced at Chi Yao, and said thoughtfully: "The girl only knows one thing and doesn't know the other, this Bai family's ancestral grave is in the southern suburbs of this city, but the corpses of that group of people were found in a desolate cemetery near the Bai family's ancestral grave, although this cemetery has been abandoned for a long time, but because it is the Bai family's location, it is not easy for outsiders to interfere." ”
"But what does this have to do with Blackbeard's old ways?" the young man asked anxiously when he interrupted the eldest brother again.
"Shaoxia, don't be in such a hurry, I'll say it now. ”
The eldest brother was not angry, and said slowly: "It's strange that one day half a month ago, when looking for the body of the missing man, the people who were searching found this person in a haystack not far from the body, but because he was already delirious at that time, he had to hand it over to the Bai family for disposal, and the Bai family just drove him out and couldn't do it." ”
Chi Yao said: "What about the Zhuang family and the Zhao family?
The eldest brother said in a low voice: "The management is also the management, but it is also a matter on the surface, in the past two years, the immortal family and the human race have declined slightly, the owner of the door is older, the descendants are unmanned, and the immortal family can barely support it, but this Zhao family has long been an empty shell, and now the head of the family is Zhao Gang, the fifty-third generation of the Zhao family, who is weak, and all the affairs in the family are handled by his wife Zhao Wang, and the huge family is handed over to a woman......"
The eldest brother noticed Chi Yao's disdainful gaze, and hurriedly changed his words: "It's not that the eldest brother I discriminate against women, it's really that this Zhao Wang clan is too much, hey, I won't talk about the bad things she has done, you can just ask, you can know." ”
Speaking of which, Chi Yao knows about it, and it seems that this Modu City is far from being as harmonious as outsiders imagine.
Coincidentally, Chi Yao's meal came up, Chi Yao thanked the eldest brother, sat back at the adjacent table, looked at the four dishes and one soup on the table and was a little puzzled, called Xiao Er and asked: "Xiao Er, you are wrong in this dish!"
The shopkeeper next to him didn't speak, but was interrupted by a young man who walked to Chi Yao's side.
The young man glanced at Chi Yao with a smile, sat down opposite Chi Yao very consciously, and under Chi Yao's contemptuous eyes, he said, "It's me, it's me who asked the shopkeeper to add the dish." ”
"You?" Chi Yao didn't understand what this little brother meant, he didn't go to the Three Treasures Hall for nothing, he was definitely tired, and said vigilantly: "What's the matter with you?"
The young man put his fist to his lips and coughed lightly to ease the awkward atmosphere, the woman was not cute at all, and there were doubts about inviting her to dinner.
"That...... Let's get straight to the point, the girl is here for the mystery of this city of Modu?"
Chi Yao's eyebrows moved, and he glanced at the young man quietly, his gaze lingered on his sword, that sword was by no means ordinary, the yellow gemstone on the sword alone was very valuable, not to mention the sword scabbard with a full body of Tengyun copywriting, even if the third senior brother's plundering abyss was here, it was not inferior at all.
Chi Yao raised his eyebrows and looked at the person in front of him thoughtfully, could it be that he was also here for this matter?
She retracted her gaze thoughtfully, and said, "Yes, that's exactly what happened." ”
The young man sitting opposite saw that Chi Yao was unscrewed, and was overjoyed, "Coincidentally, so am I!"
Chi Yao touched the teacup and laughed dryly, "Oh, hehe......" Thinking about this little brother's reaction in the fog, I can't help but disdain, you didn't come here to inquire in advance, obviously you didn't do your homework!
Seeing that Chi Yao didn't seem to care, the young man hurriedly asked, "I just want to say that you have an extraordinary bearing, although you don't have a sword, but the Ming people know at a glance that you are a person from the Xianmen, and it just so happens that I am too, and I happen to be curious about this matter, so can we go together in this matter, and it can be regarded as a companion?"
"With you?" Chi Yao was not surprised that this young man would notice her identity, after all, people with a little cultivation would guess a thing or two, not to mention that she had noticed that this little brother had peeked at the bell on her right wrist several times intentionally or unintentionally.
Chi Yao glanced at the bell on his right wrist and pretended not to care about covering the bell, which was really a bit of a hindrance.
But she is now a person, these two senior sisters and three senior brothers don't know where to go, although she has some cultivation now, but she has no weapons, if she meets someone, she is a person who has no power to restrain the chicken, it is better to find a companion, how to have a care.
Chi Yao picked up the teacup and drank it boldly, waved his big hand, and said, "Okay, it's decided!"
"What's the end of it?"
