Chapter 268: Ominous!
When Yang Ran led Meng'er into the meeting hall, he found that there were five or six people sitting inside who were talking closely. The three mentors, the town mayor He Lao rescued by Yang Ran, and another old man were all there.
"You're finally here. ”
Mayor Mo obviously had a good impression of Yang Ran, got up and said with a smile, but soon, when he saw Meng'er behind Yang Ran, his expression changed suddenly, as if he had discovered something terrifying.
The old man's reaction made Yang Ran frown, but he still bowed his hand respectfully and asked, "Hello three mentors, He Lao, I don't know what you called me for?"
After all, Mayor Mo was a powerhouse in the Spirit Vein Realm, and he quickly returned to his normal demeanor, and said, "I talked about you when I talked to Mentor Liu just now, if it weren't for your help this time, I'm afraid that the old man and Old Man Song would have lost their lives." ”
"Old man Song Wutu, I left in a hurry last time, so I didn't thank you properly. The white-haired old man stood up, took out a martial art, handed it over, and said kindly: "This is a low-grade martial art of the god rank, so take it as a small reward." ”
Yang Ran smiled faintly: "This is what a little woman should do, this time she was able to exterminate the Blood Killing Gang, thanks to the help of the two seniors." ”
"Qian Wu, you can accept the martial arts. It was Liu Ta who spoke, his left sleeve was empty, and although his face was a little pale, his breath was obviously much calmer: "You have made a great contribution to this task, and I will report to the Council of Elders when I wait for the Academy." As for the fact that we have called you here today, there is something else going on. ”
Yang Ran took over the martial arts, and said without changing his face: "I don't know what I can do for Mentor Liu?"
Tutor Liu looked at Song Lao, who stood up knowingly, and his expression became solemn: "We want to ask you to help heal someone." ”
"Who?" Yang Ran was stunned and asked.
Old Song stared at Yang Ran with cloudy eyes, and said word by word: "Once one of the eight great sect masters of the empire, the Sword Sect Zhou chased the wind. ”
The word Dao Sect came into his ears, Yang Ran was stunned for a moment, and then his face changed significantly, although he considered himself lonely and unheard, but he was still no stranger to this powerhouse who was once famous in the Meteor Dragon Empire.
Sword Sect Zhou Chasing the Wind, once one of the eight powerhouses of the Fallen Dragon Empire, was arrogant and autistic.
Other sect masters either started sects or founded families, and sat on the reverence of the cultivators of the entire empire, but only Zhou Chaifeng was a maverick and went alone.
Later, in the war with the neighboring Momo Empire, Zhou Chaifeng appeared like a god descending from heaven in a moment of crisis, and single-handedly resisted the three suzerains of the other party, killing two and seriously injuring one person.
However, since that earth-shattering battle, Zhou Chaifeng has completely disappeared from people's sight, and some people even rumor that Zhou Chaifeng was seriously injured and died in that battle.
Until now, the four major families of the empire have risen rapidly, and new powerhouses have long replaced the glory and glory that belong to him.
Yang Ran didn't expect that the Sword Sect Zhou Chaifeng was still alive, and now Song Lao actually asked himself to heal him, wouldn't that mean that he was really seriously injured.
Seeing that Yang Ran's face was cloudy, Song Lao seemed to misunderstand what he meant: "Don't worry, girl, if you can really heal as a teacher, the old man will not treat you badly." ”
As a teacher, Old Song turned out to be an apprentice of the Sword Sect, Yang Ran was shocked, but the expression on his face was still the same, and he asked tentatively, "I don't know what kind of injury the Sword Sect suffered?"
Not to mention that the Sword Sect Zhou chases the wind, but the five-fold Song Lao of the Spirit Vein Realm in front of him is enough for Yang Ran to make good friends, and now he has too many enemies, if he can make more friends with some strong people, it will not only help him improve his strength, but also may have more helpers in times of crisis, not to mention that if he can make the Sword Sect owe himself a favor, why not?
Hearing this question, Old Song looked a little embarrassed, and said, "This old man still doesn't know. ”
"I don't know?" Yang Ran was stunned for a moment and frowned, but seeing the other party's expectant face, he said slowly: "That little woman can only see if it can be treated, if not, I hope Song Lao will forgive me." ”
"It's okay, it's okay, even if it can't be treated, I won't blame you. Song Lao hurriedly responded, the old man's face was full of joy, which made Yang Ran feel a little more embarrassed.
Perhaps it was because of the old Song rescuer's heart, the two agreed to be more in the afternoon and early tomorrow morning, Yang Ran couldn't rest assured that Elizabeth was relieved, and left the meeting hall with a farewell.
"Girl, wait a minute. ”
As soon as Yang Ran walked out of the meeting hall, he was stopped, he turned to look, and saw Mayor Mo walking towards him, he looked at the dream in Yang Ran's arms with a solemn expression, and then said: "The old man has something to say to you alone." ”
Yang Ran frowned, from Mayor Mo's expression when he saw Meng'er just now, he felt that the other party's attitude towards Meng'er was a little strange, and it could even be said that he had a deep hostility, thinking that he was the mayor of Qingyang Town, maybe he had some understanding of Meng'er's life experience, Yang Ran squatted down and said softly: "Meng'er, you stay here first, and my sister will talk to this old man." ”
Meng'er looked at Yang Ran's eyes very seriously before nodding obediently.
"Mayor Mo, what are you going to say about Meng'er?" After walking a little farther, Yang Ran asked straight to the point.
Mayor Mo's expression was still solemn, and he hesitated and asked, "Do you know the identity of that little girl?"
"I don't know, I met Meng'er in prison, and I have recognized her as my sister. Yang Ran shook his head, and then added: "Mayor Mo has something to say, but it doesn't matter, don't scruple. ”
Then the old man will no longer beat around the bush. Speaking of which, in fact, the little girl came to the town seven years ago, and no one knew where she came from or how she got to the town. Mayor Mo's voice was full of memories, "But as you can see, the scars on her face are so terrible, and she has weird white hair, and the children in the town, and even some adults, are very repulsed, and some even start to demand that she be expelled from the town." ”
"Judging a person's good or evil just by his ugliness is really sad. Yang Ran sneered and said disapprerovingly.
Hearing Yang Ran's words, Mayor Mo was noncommittal and continued to speak: "The girl is so young that she has no power to survive on her own, so as the mayor of the town, I didn't agree to this request. But something happened later that made me regret my decision. ”
Yang Ran's face changed slightly.
"After all, there are still kind-hearted people in the town, maybe it's because the girl is too pitiful, and a kind old couple took her in, but guess what happened later?"
"What's going on?" a sense of uneasiness grew in Yang Ran's heart.
At first, the old man thought it was just an accident, but when the old man saw the corpses of the old couple, he completely changed his mind, their bodies were black, even the bones, hearts, and blood were black and smelly, even the most vicious poison in the world would never cause such an effect. ”
The blood of the corpse is blackened?
Yang Ran's heart jumped suddenly, he had never heard of any kind of poison that could have such terrifying toxicity, and couldn't help but ask: "Even so, how can it be arbitrarily determined that the death of the two is related to Meng'er?"
"Let me go on. Mayor Mo seemed to sigh and said: "This incident caused panic in the town, and more and more people asked for this little girl to be driven out of the town, but the old man was still soft-hearted, after all, she did not have evil in her, even if she invited the priest in the city, she couldn't find the slightest evil aura, but the terrifying thing is that in the next few years, every year on a full moon, someone in the town would die, and the way of death was exactly the same as that old couple!"
"And you know, in fact, when the girl came to town seven years ago, she was like this and tall, and after seven years, nothing has changed. ”
In other words, this girl will not grow up. ”
A cold chill hit the back of his head from Yang and then from his back, and he involuntarily glanced at Meng'er not far away, at this moment she was seriously drawing something on the ground, perhaps sensing Yang Ran's gaze, she looked up at Yang Ran, those big crystal eyes, still full of innocence and thick foam.
This glance seemed to make Yang Ran's heart feel a lot less chilly, and he asked, "What does Mayor Mo mean that the deaths of these people are all related to Meng'er?" and maybe even ...... She killed ......"
