Zuo Qiu Zong and Yin Yong, who had been listening to the movements in the courtyard outside the door, couldn't help but show incredible expressions when they saw this scene. Pen ร fun ร Pavilion www. ๏ฝ๏ฝ๏ฝ๏ฝ๏ฝ๏ฝ ใ ๏ฝ๏ฝ๏ฝ๏ฝ
"What's going on?"
Zuoqiu Sect first sensed that something might be a little complicated, and immediately asked sharply.
"Oh, it hurts. โ
But looking at Liu Ge again, it was obvious that he had fallen a lot, and at the moment he was rubbing his buttocks, and he said in pain. It took a long time to react, and Zuoqiu Zong was asking himself.
"I don't know, I didn't see anything, and I felt like I was being thrown out. I don't know what's going on!"
Liu Ge replied with a depressed look on his brain.
But after hearing this, Zuoqiu Sect felt that things were a little too unusual.
In the black field, he immediately glanced at Yin Yong.
Yin Yong also had a heart after seeing it, and immediately gave Zuoqiu Zong a look back.
Then the two of them couldn't care about Yin Yong, who was still in pain, and flashed out from both sides of the door, holding weapons in their hands and walking gently towards the door.
When they were about to get to the door, the two of them were also in a good mood.
Suddenly accelerated, and rushed inside.
However, when they walked to the courtyard at what they thought was extremely fast, they saw nothing, and the courtyard was as calm as ever.
There was no human figure in the courtyard.
There was not even a sound at all, except for the trees that rustled in the night wind.
Liu Ge did fall out of the courtyard just now, but looking at the scene in the courtyard again, it was calm as if nothing had happened.
After seeing this scene, Zuoqiu Sect slowly put down the Moyue Sword in his hand.
But his vigilance did not let up for a moment. Besides, if there is anyone who can let down his guard at this moment, it is undoubtedly a fool except a fool.
After putting down his weapon, Zuoqiu Zong immediately glanced around the courtyard again.
This is a small courtyard that can no longer be normal. There is no difference from the courtyards that Zuoqiu Zong saw in Yuyue Village in his impression.
Except for the gate due south, there are three houses in the other three directions. Other than that, the yard was too small to see anything else.
For such a house with an unobstructed view at a glance, Zuoqiu Sect was not much interested. Obviously, there is theoretically nothing to worry about in this courtyard.
So at this moment, Zuoqiu Sect focused on those three houses.
But if you look at the three houses, it's all pitch black.
This in itself should be the scene at midnight.
It all seems so normal.
Yes, it's normal. Maybe a lot of times, the more normal things are, the better. But at this moment, the more normal it seemed on the surface, the more abnormal it was for Zuoqiu Sect. At this moment, he obviously didn't want to see that in this way.
And just when Zuoqiu Sect seemed at a loss, Yin Yong also glanced at Zuoqiu Sect. Yin Yong's experience in the rivers and lakes can be said to be much wider than that of Zuoqiu Zong, but at this moment, looking at Yin Yong's eyes when he looked at Zuoqiu Zong, it was obvious that Yin Yong was also at a loss.
And just when both of them were at a loss, due north, a faint light suddenly appeared in the larger room, the light was very weak, and the time of appearance was also very short, if you were not a very careful observer, even in this night, you may not find this light.
But coincidentally, Zuo Qiuzong and Yin Yong are both extremely observant people.
Even more coincidentally, Zuoqiu Sect's innate eyesight is much better than others, and for such a Zuoqiu Sect, even a very slight change is difficult to escape his magic eye.
After seeing this ray of light again, Zuoqiu Sect glanced at Yin Yong again. Yin Yong also understood at a glance.
The two of them quietly moved towards the direction of the room in an instant.
Upon reaching the door, the two of them quickly kicked it open, and then walked in at an even faster pace.
Although it was dark inside, against the backdrop of the two glowing tear stains on the Moyue Sword in Zuoqiu Zong's hand, the two of them still saw some of the situation inside.
This room is a living room with a simple set of tables, chairs, and so on. Nothing else. Since the house is so small, the furniture is just small furniture. Not to mention the inside of the house, everything inside can be seen at a glance.
But there was no way to see what the two wanted to see.
There was obviously some faint light here just now, but why was it as if nothing had happened? Thinking of this, Zuoqiu Sect was even more taken aback.
He didn't know what he was up against tonight.
But he knew he was not going to be a good opponent tonight.
If it is possible that Liu Ge was thrown out by accident, then the ray of light he saw just now must not be explained by a simple accident.
An accident may be an accident, but there are too many accidents, and it is definitely not a pure accident.
But if it wasn't an accident, how do you explain it?
Obviously, at this moment, neither of them can explain what is happening in front of them.
And just when Zuoqiu Zong was puzzled, he saw Yin Yong suddenly turn his head very quickly, and the moment Yin Yong turned his head, Zuoqiu Zong also looked in the direction that Yin Yong was looking at.
It turned out that Yin Yong was looking at the house on the west side of the courtyard at the moment.
And when Zuoqiu Sect followed his gaze, he also saw it.
I saw the same light as before.
Just a flash, a faint glow, exactly what happened just now.
Just after Zuoqiu Zong finished reading it, when he turned his head, he saw Yin Yong looking at him at the moment. Obviously, he was asking Zuoqiu Zong's opinion on what to do next.
And Zuoqiu Sect was also at a loss.
He couldn't figure out how there could be such a light in that room.
After thinking about it for a while, Zuo Qiu Zong finally made a gesture to Yin Yong to go over and take a look. Although he knew in his heart that all this might be futile again, he still had to go and see. After all, seeing more plays a vital role in judging the overall situation.
If the opponent you meet tonight is really strong, then you have to go over and take a look.
So the two of them crept to the west again, just like before.
Then, as he had just done, he quickly kicked the door open.
"Who?"
As the door was kicked open, an alarming voice came from within.
Then the glimmer of the Moyue Sword, the two saw that it was a figure.
The man was lying on the bed, half-lying at the moment, looking at the two of them with horror in his eyes.
It turned out to be an old man.
"What are you doing here?"
The old man saw that the movements of the two were so rude, and after both of them held swords in their hands, he looked at the two of them with a frightened face and asked.
Faced with this scene, Zuoqiu Sect didn't know how to answer.
During the time when he was talking to the old man just now, Zuoqiu Zong had already looked at the inside of the house. There was nothing in the house except for a small table next to the bed and the bed.
And during the time of talking to the old man, Zuoqiu Sect looked at the old man even more. Looking at the old man's appearance, it doesn't look like it's pretending.
"Old uncle, we originally stayed here for a night, and just now we encountered some abnormal conditions in the courtyard, so we made this move, and I hope that old uncle can understand. โ
After looking at it for a while, Zuoqiu Sect immediately put down the Moyue Sword in his hand and said with a pleasant face.
In the middle of the night, he broke into someone's yard, kicked open the door of the room where they were sleeping, and held a weapon in his hand. What does this look like?"
When the old man heard what Zuoqiu Zong said, he also became bolder, and while putting on his clothes, he reprimanded with a vigorous and unforgiving look.
And Zuo Qiuzong and Yin Yong didn't dare to talk back at all. If the old man really didn't know what happened just now, then it was obvious that the two of them were really rude to behave like this.
Yin Yong even thought in his heart that if someone broke into the house he lived in before, he would definitely not hesitate and would pick up a sword to kill the person directly.
In fact, he didn't know, the old man at this moment also thought so, if he hadn't learned any martial arts, it was estimated that the old man would have started to fight with the two people in front of him.
In a moment, the old man had already gotten up, and then lit a candle in the room. The room lit up under the candlelight.
Only then did Zuoqiu Sect begin to take a closer look at the room.
Although the room is very rustic, the cleaning is still exceptionally clean. In such a small earthen house, it was spotlessly cleaned, and such a scene was rare in Zuoqiu Sect.
And after the old man finished lighting the candlelight, Zuoqiu Zong also looked at the old man again very seriously, and wanted to find out something flaws from the old man. If we can't find any flaws, we will never get an answer to what happened tonight.
And for Zuoqiu Zong, although this matter has little to do with him, as a fast catcher, he can't ignore it when he sees such a thing.
Especially after seeing this old man.
Zuoqiu Zong first looked at the old man's hand. The person who can clean the house so cleanly must be a person who works a lot, so this kind of person's hands are significantly different from other people's.
And after reading it, the answer given is completely reasonable.
The old man had some calluses on his hands. What impressed Zuo Qiuzong even more was that there were still some cracked sores on the old man's hands.
This proves that the old man is indeed a person who works a lot.
If it is a cocoon alone, many martial arts cultivators also have it in their hands. However, martial arts cultivators generally do not deal with water, so it is absolutely impossible for injuries to occur.
"Alas, the young man nowadays is really getting more and more unpleasant, and he breaks into the old man's room in the middle of the night. Regardless of whether you want to or not, you just say that you want to stay, and there is no politeness at all. โ
After the old man lit the candle, he began to count the two again.
In addition to counting, he yawned several times in a row.
Through these yawns, the answer that this matter has nothing to do with the old man is more and more affirmative.
The old man's sleepy-eyed appearance is difficult to pretend if he pretends to be.
And at this moment, Zuoqiu Sect had already excluded the old man in his heart.
"Uncle, are you really not normal here?"
When the old man had been counting for a long time and seemed to be almost out of breath, Zuoqiu Zong asked the old man with a slight smile.
Although it gradually became clear that this was not done by the old man. But this does not prove that this matter has nothing to do with the old man. This happened in this house, which proves that it is more or less related to the old man. How else could it happen here?
"Abnormal, what's abnormal? Old man, I've lived here for most of my life, it's the smell of food, the smell of sleep, what can be abnormal? If I have to say it's abnormal, then there really is, it's that I slept well tonight, you broke in, I don't know what my old man put in for it, if it's just for accommodation, as you say, it's nothing. My old man isn't a stingy person, but you're too ......."
When the old man said this, he began to shake his head helplessly.
"I'm really sorry. โ
After Zuoqiu Zong heard this, he hurriedly apologized.
"What are you sorry for? It's all like this, is it useful to say sorry? Say something you don't like to hear, it's not that my old man looks down on young people, you young people are really getting more and more disagreeable. You have to knock on the door and get permission to stay in the night, which is the most basic courtesy, but you see you. โ
When the old man said this, he shook his head helplessly.
"Old uncle, we knocked on the door, maybe your old man slept too hard and didn't hear it. โ
After hearing this, Zuoqiu Zong also hurriedly apologized.
"Knock on the door. โ
And just when Zuoqiu Sect said this, Yin Yong was talking to himself alone.
As for Yin Yong's abnormality at the moment, Zuoqiu Sect was obviously also aware of it. And from Yin Yong's expression, it is not difficult to judge that he seems to have thought of something.
"Didn't hear that? My ears, old man, are very smart. We are on the edge of the moonset and the morning flowers. There are a lot of strange rare beasts in the Yuexi Huachen Forest, although because we are located on the edge of this place, there are very rare rare beasts here will not appear, but there will still be some small rare beasts from time to time, they will take advantage of the time when people are not paying attention, they will steal some poultry. So even when I'm asleep, I can hear anything around me. โ
After hearing what Zuoqiu Zong said, the old man said reproachfully.
Seeing that Zuo Qiu Zong doubted his ears, the old man was obviously more unhappy than the two of them breaking into his room alone.
Actually, it's no wonder. It's only to blame Zuoqiu Sect and the two newcomers. You must know that in the local area, this old man has a reputation for being a good ear. You must know that the old man has no ability in his life, and these two ears are the biggest capital.
You must know that this dilapidated house was built by the people of the village with money.
And the reason why money was raised to build this house for the old man was because the old man's ears were good. You must know that building a house for the elderly here can save a lot of embarrassing situations where you don't know anything and eat all the poultry in the house.
And just when Zuo Qiuzong and Yin Yong were half-believing and talking to the old man.
Liu Ge ran in from outside the door in a panic.
"Another rude, knocking on the door when you enter the room, do you know? Alas, young people now!"
After the old man saw Liu Ge, he reprimanded angrily.
"Oh no, no. โ
But Liu Ge ignored the old man and walked directly to Zuoqiu Zong.
"What's wrong?" โ
Seeing that Liu Ge looked out of breath, Zuoqiu Zong patted Liu Ge's shoulder and comforted.
"Jiang and Jiang Yan are gone. โ
After Liu Ge gasped for a while, he said in a panic.
When Zuoqiu Zong heard this information, he was also taken aback.
