Chapter 52: News

The two of them have a close relationship with this thin-faced man on weekdays, and naturally understand that what he said at this moment is not untargeted, and they can't help but be curious, and they both said with bright eyes: "What news?"

The man pretended to pause mysteriously for a moment, looked around, and saw that no one on the second floor noticed that they were here, so he leaned over and said in a low voice like a mosquito and fly: "After I tell you about this matter, remember not to talk nonsense." ”

The pupils of the two shrank, and a solemn expression appeared on their faces. When they saw the man so cautious, they couldn't help but wonder if they really wanted to hear the news.

The faces of the two of them changed constantly, and finally they were defeated by the curiosity in their hearts, looked at the man with their eyes, and asked in a low voice: "What did you hear that made you so cautious and careful!"

"Originally, I shouldn't have told you this news, but I can't be unjust to you because of the love we have had with us for several years. Therefore, there is this question, whether you listen or not, it is up to you to think about it. The man's face was still serious, but they could sense a hint of fear and panic in his grim expression.

The atmosphere at this table quietly became extremely oppressive, and one of them seemed to be a little unbearable, and couldn't help but swallow his saliva to resolve this invisible pressure.

The other person was also speechless to endure this strange oppressive atmosphere, and couldn't help but give himself three glasses of wine in succession to relieve the anxiety and panic in his heart.

"How about it, are you still listening?" was when the two of them were struggling with each other, and the man's voice sounded in their ears again.

Silent!

Both fell into a brief silence. After a while, one of them said with a relaxed expression: "Brother Zhou's words have completely aroused my curiosity, how can you stop there?"

Then the person's eyes narrowed slightly, and a ray of light appeared in his eyes and said, "I still hope that Brother Zhou will tell me." ”

The other person seemed to have paid attention, and looked at it with both eyes, as if he was also planning to hear what the more important news from this Brother Zhou said?

"In that case, then I'm not a mother-in-law anymore. But you two need to remember that this thing must rot in your stomach. The man replied solemnly.

The two immediately nodded in agreement.

"Just last night, another place in the ghost capital was burned!" the man said.

There was a trace of doubt in the eyes of the two of them, after all, the ghost capital is a place where many scattered cultivators gather, and there are many people with bad personalities and bad tempers among the monks, and there is a life-and-death struggle without a word, and it can be said that it is extremely normal for this dead person to set a fire.

The man naturally saw the confusion in the eyes of the two, and couldn't help but say with a smile on the corner of his mouth: "I know that setting fire to the dead in the ghost capital is an extremely ordinary and normal thing, but it also depends on where it is?"

"Oh, what do you mean, this burned-out place is unusual?"

"It's not ordinary. The man sneered, and then asked out loud, "What do you think of the Wang family compared to the Mingyang Sect?"

"What can this be compared to?" one of them immediately replied, "This Wang family can only dominate in and around the ghost capital, but in the Mingyang Sect, it is one of the four major sects with the most powerful power in the entire border region. There is not the slightest comparison between the two. ”

The other person was very happy, and immediately understood the true meaning of the man's question, so he asked cautiously, "Could it be that this destroyed place has something to do with the Mingyang Sect?"

"It's not just about it. Just last night, a grocery store in the north of the city was set on fire, and the real identity of this grocery store was the stronghold set by the Mingyang Sect in the ghost capital. The man said.

The expressions on the faces of the two of them changed, and they each wondered if their ears had heard it wrong, or if this person was talking nonsense, this destroyed place turned out to be the stronghold set up by the Mingyang Sect in the ghost capital, which sounded too weird, right?

The two of them vaguely remembered a thing about Mingyang Sect in their minds: a few decades ago, there was a fairly large sect in the Song Kingdom, because he offended Mingyang Sect with a sentence, and as a result, the whole sect was slaughtered, and there were a total of four people in the whole sect, and no one was spared. It was true that the bones were mountains and rivers of blood, and it was rumored that a disgusting smell of blood could be smelled dozens of miles away during that time. Although the Mingyang Sect later came forward to deny the matter, everyone knew that in the Song Kingdom~ Although there are still some forces in the Mingyang Sect that can do this, those forces do not have the slightest conflict of interests with this sect, let alone enmity, where will they do this"

Almost everyone understands in their hearts that behind this matter, there must be the shadow of the Mingyang Sect. Just because of one sentence, he destroyed other people's sects, which is enough to show his domineering and heritage as one of the four major sects in the border region.

It was precisely because the two of them had heard about this incident that they could deeply understand how terrifying the top forces in the border region really were, and at the same time, their dignity would not tolerate anyone's real provocation openly or secretly. And now that the two of them heard that the stronghold set up by the Mingyang Sect in the ghost capital had been destroyed, they couldn't believe it at all.

"Can you really be sure that this is the stronghold set up by the Mingyang Sect in the ghost capital?" one of them still didn't believe it, and then asked.

Zhou dared to vouch for his life. Seeing that the two of them were quite suspicious of him, the man's face couldn't help but turn cold, and he said in a deep tone.

As soon as the two heard this, they naturally understood that the words just now had made each other unhappy. One of them hurriedly picked up the wine jug, poured a glass of wine for the man, and said with a smile: "Brother Zhou, don't be angry, the two of us were just frightened by the news itself, so we asked this question, and we definitely didn't have doubts about Brother Zhou." ”

"Hmph, the two of you are just Qi cultivators, is there any need for Zhou to deceive you...... If it weren't for the love we have known for many years, I don't want the two of us to die in vain in this ghost capital, why would I be bored, and it will arouse suspicion. The man's face was still cold.

"Ahem. ”

The two of them looked embarrassed for a while, what the other party said was not wrong at all, the two of them were just ordinary qi cultivators, and they could be said to be a big handful of ghosts here, and there was no value worthy of the other party's deception at all. However, after all, the two of them are the existence of old fritters, and the embarrassment on their faces only lasted for a moment before disappearing. The faces of the two changed, and they raised their wine glasses with a smile on their faces, and shouted to the man: "Come, come, come, the two of us toast Brother Zhou with a glass, and hope for Haihan for the crime of suspicion before." ”

However, the man did not immediately pick up the wine glass, the two looked at it, and then said in unison: "The two of us will do it first as respect, Brother Zhou, you are free." ”

After the two of them had finished drinking, the man picked up the wine glass on the table and poured it into his mouth.

When the two saw the man drinking, they were relieved, and at the same time understood that the other party did not plan to continue to care.

All three put down their glasses at the same time, and one of them immediately picked up the flask and poured the wine for the other two and himself. After doing it, this person immediately spoke: "Brother Zhou, there is a word below, I don't know whether to talk about it or not?"

The man raised his eyebrows and motioned for the other party to speak directly.

This person didn't speak immediately, but pondered for a moment and said, "A behemoth like the Mingyang Sect, set up in the stronghold of the ghost capital, must be quite hidden, I'm afraid few people know about it. And those who know about it must also be afraid of the Mingyang Sect, and they don't dare to have any thoughts about this stronghold. So I wonder if some loose cultivators are secretly doing it to vent their anger because they have a grudge with the guards of this stronghold?"

"Loose cultivation?" a mocking smile appeared at the corner of the man's mouth: "What do you think is the probability of this? one percent or half percent, or is it impossible at all?"

The questioner's face froze, what the man said was right, this kind of probability is pitiful at all, but if it wasn't done by Sanxiu, then who would it be, and what was the purpose of their doing this?

The other person also looked pensive, his brows furrowed, and he seemed to be unable to figure out the key.

The man looked at the two of them, a glint flashed in his eyes, and then he reminded him on the side: "Have you forgotten what I said earlier?"

"What's the matter?" said one of them, instinctively replying. However, with these words, this person's complexion changed suddenly, and his confused eyes flashed with a gleam, could it be that the burning of the Wang Family Inn was directly related to the indirect fire in this matter? Behind the Wang Family Inn is the controller of the ghost capital, the Wang family. And behind this matter, it is even more involved in the Mingyang Sect, one of the four major sects in the border region.

Wang family, Mingyang Sect?

These two people are not stupid people, and they vaguely understand the meaning of the metaphor in the man's words just now, and at the same time, they have an intuition in their hearts, I am afraid that the hidden things behind this will be extremely terrifying!

"Brother Zhou, don't sell it, tell everything you know. One squinted his eyes and whispered.

"I felt a little uneasy at the moment. The other said with an ugly face.

"Okay, but it's the same thing I said before, don't talk nonsense. The man's eyes swept over the two of them and said slowly.

The two nodded heavily.

"Do you know that anyone in the inn that was burned down was there?" the man asked softly.

The two shook their heads, they knew this.

"People from the Mingyang Sect. The man said word by word.

The faces of the two changed at the same time, and a bad thought rose in their hearts.

"The inn where the people of the Mingyang Sect lived was destroyed, and then the stronghold of the Mingyang Sect in the ghost capital was also met. Contacting these two things, it seems that they are related to Mingyang Sect behind it. So I had a conjecture in my mind that I felt terrible. At this point, the expression on the man's face became extremely serious.

"What conjecture?" the two of them asked immediately, although they didn't know what the other had in mind, but they always felt in their hearts that his conjecture would shock them incomparably!

"Someone wants to cut off the connection between the Mingyang Sect and here!"

"Do you have a guess in mind?" one of them asked in a low voice, frowning.

The man nodded.

"Who?"

"The Wang family!"
