Chapter 989: Strange Things in Yixia Town
Listening to Zhang Xiǎohuā's words, Dream was also a little uneasy, and said in a low voice: "Xiǎohuā, I...... I'm just mad at them...... Restless and well-intentioned...... I ......"
Zhang xiǎohuā patted her head and said, "It's not a ****." It is estimated that the senior sister of the Tianlong Sect also encountered such a thing when she was young, in fact, I was going to be angry just now, and it was inevitable to clash with them...... Moreover, they are now acting gentle and elegant, maybe they will change their faces in a while......."
"Alas, above the rivers and lakes, where the good and evil come from? Maybe such a clean and neat method as the Heavenly Dragon Sect can not be bullied."
"Well, maybe, but ...... I don't think the Heavenly Dragon Sect is as bad as it rumors, at least...... They didn't do anything to us."
"That's what you say, but ...... After all, it's six living people......"
"Forget it, what are you talking about them, let's hurry up, the sudden appearance of the Heavenly Dragon Sect is also an important matter, and we still need to report to the sect leader."
"Ouch, xiǎohuā, I suddenly understood, didn't the people from Luoying Island ask the people of the Tianlong Sect just now?
"How?"
"That must be the case, as long as they use their names and surnames, there will definitely be no living mouths, and of course no one will know?"
"Nonsense, aren't we living well?" Zhang Xiǎohuā disagreed: "Let's go, let's hurry to Yixia Town." ”
Dream didn't argue with him, the two of them hit their horses and walked along the official road, although the two of them were fast, but when the sky grew dark, they came to a rather large Xiǎo town, and they didn't see the people and horses of the Tianlong Sect
When he came to Xiǎo Town, Zhang Xiǎohuā led the four dislikes, and was about to step forward to investigate, when suddenly his heart moved, and he swept towards the flow of people in front of him, but in that crowd, they were all in a hurry, or they were in a hurry, or they were looking for a place to stay, or they were buying, and there were no suspicious people.
"What's the matter?" Seeing Zhang Xiǎohuā stop suddenly, Dream hurried over and asked.
"It's nothing, I suddenly feel as if someone is staring at us" Zhang xiǎohuā looked ahead a little unwillingly.
"Where is it?" Dream also looked at it, and said tentatively, "Is it a person from the Heavenly Dragon Sect during the day?"
"No," Zhang Xiǎohuā was very sure: "Although the martial arts of the people of the Tianlong Sect are high, they can ...... But I should be able to find them, and besides, they shouldn't do such boring things, you have to remember, we are just unfamous disciples of the Beidou Sect."
The dream also looked at it for a long time, but didn't see the reason, and asked, "Are you sure? I didn't see anything."
"Hehe, maybe I'm too careful" Zhang Xiǎohuā was also a little unconfident.
Then, Zhang xiǎohuā walked up to a roadside xiǎo vendor and asked softly, "This uncle, may I ask...... Is this Yixia Town?"
The old man who sold vegetables looked up at him, nodded and said, "This is Yixia Town, Brother Xiǎo wants to find an inn to stay in." ”
As he spoke, he pointed his hand and said, "About a hundred zhang ahead, there is a very haode inn."
Zhang xiǎohuā turned his head to look at it and said, "Thank you, old man, but there is still something I want to ask." ”
"Oh?xiǎo brother, please speak" probably I have never seen such a polite Jianghu person, the old man said happily: "I have lived in this Yixia Town for more than sixty years, and there is nothing I don't know about this town."
"Haha, that's excellent. Zhang Xiǎohuā was overjoyed and asked, "Then do you know a person named Hou Mingcheng?"
"Hou Mingcheng?" the old man was stunned, frowned and thought for a long time: "How old is this person, where is he in the town?"
"Dizzy?" Zhang xiǎohuā pouted, "If I knew where I was in town, I would still have to ask your old man?"
But he said: "I don't know how old I am, but I must be forty or fifty years old."
The old man thought for a long time, but Zuihou still shook his head, "Brother xiǎo, I'm also old, my head is not very bright, I can't remember this person's name, you better go to the inn and ask the shop xiǎoer, they have heard a lot, seen a lot, or can know it."
When Zhang Xiǎohuā heard this, he felt justified, and was about to leave, when the dream asked again: "Then, may I ask the old man, this Yixia Town is a big family, but the surname is Hou?"
"Oh, of course I know this, one is in the west of the town, and now the head of the family is called Hou Feng, whose family has 10,000 acres of fertile land in Beishan, and the other is in the north of the town, and the head of the family died young, and now he is a widow pulling four children and running a yù stone business. However, neither of them has a person named Hou Mingcheng, I can be sure of this. ”
Zhang xiǎohuā gave a thumbs up to the dream, that is, he said goodbye to the old man, and went straight to the inn that the old man said, and the guy at the inn was really clever, but he was just ...... I still don't know that there is a person named Hou Mingcheng in this Yixia Town
Zhang Xiǎohuā and Mengting are not surprising, what Master Chang Gung said was forty years ago, and it is a question of whether the person named Hou Mingcheng is still alive, let alone being remembered for so many years.
Therefore, Zhang xiǎohuā asked the specific location of the two families surnamed Hou in Ming Town, and Zhang xiǎohuā and Dream were resting separately, and it was late at this time, and it was not a good time to visit
The next morning, after Zhang Xiǎohuā and Meng finished freshening up, they were about to come out of the inn with their horses, when there was a commotion from the shop in front of the inn: "Did you know?
"What's the big deal? I can hear the faint sound of gongs outside, and there is a commotion, it's late at night, and I don't bother to get up."
"Alas, you said that there are unforeseen circumstances in the sky, and people have good and bad luck, and the old Hou family has accumulated virtue all their lives, why did they end up like this?"
"Old Hou's family?" said strangely: "Brother said that it is from the west of the town or from the north of the town?"
"Nonsense, of course it's from Zhenxi, Hou Laofeng, this old brother is usually good to the people around him, he can't say that he is a Buddha in ten thousand families, but he sends cotton in winter and wrinkles in summer, why does this natural disaster fall on their family?
"It's also strange, one town west and one town north, far away, all of them were burned, and they were all surnamed Hou. ”
"......What? You still want the whole town to burn?"
......
Hearing this, Zhang Xiǎohuā's face changed greatly, and he didn't have time to step forward to ask, and pulled Meng's hand, that is, he said, "Quick, let's go quickly." ”
Of course, the dream was also heard, and the silver teeth bit and said, "Hurry up, there must be something strange here."
When the two of them came to Hou Feng's house in the west of the town, they didn't feel a little depressed.
This is a house that occupies a large area, but at this time, it has been turned into residual bricks and tiles, and the burnt black wooden beams still have some slight flames, and there is a faint white gas rising on the whole house, which should be the water vapor that the people in the town put out the fire last night.
In front of the charred house, a lot of people gathered, and Zhang xiǎohuā found a young man who was untidy and had some water stains on his body and asked, "This eldest brother, xiǎo brother is passing by from other places, and ...... here Looks like there was a fire? You must have been involved in putting out the fire last night, right?"
The young man looked at Zhang Xiǎohuā and nodded, "Yes, in the early hours of this morning, this Hou Mansion suddenly caught fire, and I happened to live nearby, so I knew about it first......"
The young man told what he saw last night, and Zuihou sighed: "It's a pity that the old man Hou is also a great good person, and he was burned alive in it, alas, no one in the entire Hou Mansion is alive."
"Not a single one?" asked Dream through gritted teeth.
"That's right, the people from the official mansion have already come just now, and I heard them say that they have just come from the Hou family in the north of the town, where is the same as here, everyone's corpses were found in the room, and none of them escaped"
"Thank you~" After listening to the young man's words, Zhang xiǎohuā also took back the divine consciousness he emitted, and the man was indeed right, in the Hou Mansion, there was no living breath
"Do you want to go to Zhenbei to have a look?" Zhang Xiǎohuā turned his head and asked Meng.
Meng shook his head blankly, and said: "No need, this fire is strange, if one family encounters it, it's okay, but the two families surnamed Hou are encountered, if there is no connection, no one will believe it, this Hou Feng family is like this, that family must not have any living people, what's the use of going?"
"Could it be that the monks of Dalin Temple did it?" Zhang Xiǎohuā frowned.
"I guess not, if Dalin Temple deliberately conceals it, as long as you don't write the names of Yixia Town and Hou Mingcheng, and don't even give us this list, can we still force Master Chang Geng?"
"Could it be...... Is it the Tianlong Sect?" Zhang xiǎohuā immediately thought of what he saw on the official road
"That's not reasonable" Meng shook his head: "Who has the Tianlong Sect been afraid of in this Jianghu? Even if they have any tricks, can they care about being told about it? Even if you and I know, what's the use? Besides, let's look for Hou Mingcheng, just to ask about my life experience, what does it have to do with their Tianlong Sect?"
"That's right, it's impossible for the Heavenly Dragon Sect to know our purpose. Zhang Xiǎohuā nodded, but then frowned again: "Could it be that someone is following us?
Immediately, a terrifying feeling arose from Zhang Xiǎohuā's bones, and that day he had let go of his divine sense, and there were no people around him, if it was really as he expected, as he felt, someone followed, then ...... That person's martial arts, no, how high is the magic power of the Immortal Dao
Involuntarily, Zhang xiǎohuā just looked around with his eyes for a long time, and then released his divine consciousness and looked at it carefully.
Unfortunately, the early morning in Yixia Town is the same as in other places, only the early birds are looking for bugs
Seeing Zhang Xiǎohuā's nervous expression, the dream was also stunned, and his eyes looked around vigilantly......
