Chapter 226: Approaching the Mystery
"This?"
Zhang Yang was stunned for a moment, and then shook his head noncommittally. Situ Wushu used to be the patriarch of the four major families, and he had entered the cemetery of Duyang Mountain, so he must have known about the twelve surnames. But what makes Zhang Yang strange is that what does he mean by asking about this now?
And almost all the people with surnames asked by Situ Wushu are in the village under the forest-shaded mountain, Grandpa Zhou, Grandpa Dou, Tongtong's grandfather is surnamed Qiu, and Zhang Yang's grandfather is surnamed Yang!
However, Zhang Yang still doesn't know what Situ Invincible's true purpose is, so it's better to be cautious for now. If Situ Wushu wasn't malicious, then it wouldn't hurt to explain it to him later.
"Patriarch, why are you asking this?" Zhang Yang asked.
"Well, it's not convenient to tell you now, but when the time comes, you'll know. ”
Situ Wudi's face was as usual, and he didn't look like he was deliberately trying to hide it. It's just that the more he said this, the more curious Zhang Yang became, after all, he was also very curious about these twelve families. Moreover, there was a sect's teleportation array in that cemetery, which had to make Zhang Yang wonder what the ancestors of the four major families were.
The sky is gradually darkening, but the city gate of Moon Soul City is still brightly lit, there have been a lot of ** in the city these days, and the city gate has been completely under martial law. However, since the murderer has not been caught, he has been restricted from leaving the city, but it is still possible to enter the city. Coupled with the war in Starry City, many refugees will flee into the city every day.
"Stop!
At the city gate, Zhang Yang and others had already dressed up as refugees in order to hide their eyes, but due to the large number of people, they were immediately interrogated.
"We are refugees who escaped from Half Moon City. Ren Qingshui said in a low voice.
"Refugees?" the guard pointed to the crowd of humans, "Take all the cloth off your face!"
"I don't need to use this, I'm waiting for malaria to be infected with it, so I'm afraid of infecting adults, so it's better for adults to not see it. ”
The guard had been dismissive of what Zhang Yang had said, and did not believe in the so-called malaria at all. But suddenly, his head sank, and he unconsciously waved his hand at Zhang Yang, signaling them to leave quickly.
"This kid..."
After everyone walked away, Situ Wushu couldn't help but feel curious about Zhang Yang again in his heart. The ability to directly influence other people's minds is not something he can have in this realm. Moreover, with the contact with Zhang Yang, Situ Wushu found more and more that he couldn't see through this kid who only had a heartbeat realm on the surface.
"It's here. ”
After looking around, Ren Qingshui led everyone into this moon pavilion called Suiyu. But the moment they just stepped in front of the door, Ren Qingshui and Situ Wuving's faces immediately changed drastically.
"How so?"
The Moon Pavilion was in a mess everywhere, tables and chairs were smashed all over the place, and various decorations such as screens were also smashed, and it looked as if they had been stolen and robbed.
"Chamber of Secrets!"
Ren Qingshui seemed to have thought of something, and hurriedly ran to the depths of the Moon Pavilion. Then, in a hidden room, Ren Qingshui magically opened a pitch-black underground passage.
"Follow me!"
Seeing Ren Qingshui go down, everyone did not hesitate and immediately followed closely. But before he could take a few steps, a charred corpse appeared in everyone's sight.
"Lin Li!"
Ren Qingshui exclaimed in surprise and slammed down in front of the dead body, she tried Chen Li's snort with her hand without giving up, and finally shook her head helplessly.
"Has this been discovered?" Situ said angrily.
Ren Qingshui didn't answer, she held back her tears, got up and continued to walk deeper. Finally in a hall, Ren Qingshui stopped her steps.
This hall was supposed to be a living room for deliberations, and there was nothing to grow in the living room except for a few tables and chairs. But at this time, this living room was like a purgatory, and there were more than a dozen dead bodies lying in all directions. Like Chen Li outside, these dead bodies were also charred black, and it looked like they should have been done by one person.
"This..."
Ren Qingshui was stunned in place, in the face of such a tragic situation, she couldn't even say a word in a daze. Tears soaked her collar in an instant, but she didn't realize it, just stood still.
"Light water..."
Situ Wushu wanted to say comfort, but he didn't know what to say for a while.
"What the hell is going on?" Zhang Yang asked.
"Ugh..."
Situ Wushu sighed and told the truth of the matter. It turned out that after Ren Qingshui thought that she had lost Situ Invincible, she collapsed for a while. Later, with the help of Carvallo, she gradually picked herself up and reunited her people on Earth to protect herself.
Despite the constant blows from the Hearst family and Milner, the Suiyue Pavilion gradually grew. Coupled with the invincible return of Situ, Ren Qingshui originally thought that she was looking to turn over, but the cruel truth in front of her was like a basin of ice water in the cold winter, instantly drenching her all over her body.
"So, it's all our compatriots here!" Zhang Yang asked angrily. "Why on earth are they targeting us?"
"Why..."
Situ Invincible asked Situ Qingyun and Long Nan to take care of Ren Qingshui, and pulled Zhang Yang to a corner.
"Zhang Yang, do you remember the question I asked you before?"
"You mean those surnames, and what does it have to do with them?" Zhang Yang wondered.
"Actually, I don't know what it has to do with it," Situ Wushu shook his head and said, "However, since you have been in contact with the Lin family and Xiao Lei for so long, you must have known about the affairs of these five major families." ”
"Aren't the five big families?" Zhang Yang said strangely.
"That's because Ren Qingshui is the last person in the Ren family, so the Ren family has ceased to exist since her. Situ Wushu paused for a moment and said, "Actually, the members of our family should have been twelve at the beginning, but I don't know what the reason is, and in the end, only five have been handed down." ”
This Zhang Yang knew that he had seen the twelve surnames in the cemetery, so he was not surprised by this. And the seven families did not disappear, but just lived in seclusion under the tree-lined mountain, including the grandfather of Zhang Yang.
"And I know that I recently learned that our family is actually a subordinate of Penglai Immortal Mountain. ”
"What!"
Zhang Yang's eyes immediately widened, the Twelve Families are subordinates of Penglai Immortal Mountain?
"It's true," Situ Wushu nodded and said, "According to what my master said, a long time ago, Xianshan has always selected high-quality disciples from the family to enter the Xianshan to cultivate, and there are also teleportation arrays specially set up by Xianshan in the clan, but I haven't seen it. ”
It turned out that the teleportation array in the cemetery was the one leading to Penglai Immortal Mountain, and the doubts in Zhang Yang's heart were finally answered. But how could Penglai Immortal Mountain have anything to do with the small families on the earth? After all, Penglai Immortal Mountain is a great sect of cultivation!
"Once upon a time, there was no patriarch or clan in the family. Later, at the behest of Xianshan, two people were selected as disciples to be sent to Xianshan to practice, which is why the previous patriarchs disappeared for no reason. ”
"But if that's the case, Patriarch, how did you come to the Moon Soul Empire?" Zhang Yang immediately asked.
"I also asked my master about this, and according to him, it seems that because of the war with the Moon Soul Empire, the galaxy where the earth is located is occupied by the Moon Soul Empire, and the connection has been interrupted. However, I now realize that the reason seems to be far from simple. ”
"So what is the reason?" Zhang Yang then asked.
"After the earth was assigned to the Moon Soul Empire, I and Clan Ti Qingshui, who were originally the patriarchs, should have stayed on the earth, but the Moon Soul Empire actually sent someone to invite us, so we were deceived into the Moon Soul Star. ”
"That person must be Mark. Zhang Yang smiled.
"Yes, since the previous patriarch didn't leave any information, we didn't know that the previous patriarch was taken to Penglai Immortal Mountain, and it wasn't until we arrived here that we found out that we had been fooled. ”
"This is very strange, why did Penglai Immortal Mountain and the Moon Soul Empire take away the clansmen of the family?" Zhang Yang said strangely.
"I didn't understand this before, but I didn't notice it until recently, they seem to be looking for something!"
"Looking for... Thing?!" Zhang Yang looked at Situ Invincible in confusion.
"This kind of thing is very special, it may be in the body of our family members. However, this kind of thing is not necessarily a specific thing, it may also be a gene, which can be inherited. ”
"This..."
Zhang Yang was suddenly shocked in his heart, because he suddenly thought of a possibility.
"Although this kind of thing is on the members of our family, not all of them are on the patriarch, so it was only later that the Moon Soul Empire began to plunder the members of our family on a large scale. ”
"So that's the case, no wonder Testin's will be so persistent in arresting the members of the four major families, it turns out that this is the reason. ”
"However, for now, this thing has still not been found. Originally, I thought it might be the other four family members, but now it seems that there is another possibility!"
"What do you mean..."
Zhang Yang's face became more and more solemn, because with Situ Invincible's explanation, he vaguely had a very bad premonition, and as this premonition got closer and closer to the truth, Zhang Yang's heart became heavier and heavier, and he found that just in an instant, it seemed that all the spearheads were immediately pointed at himself!
"Because I have always been in the scope of the other seven families because there are only five families in the twelve families, I have not taken the other seven families into consideration, but now it seems that this person who has hidden the secret is likely to be among the descendants of those seven families!"
