chapter147On the remaining road of Qixia's turmoil, Su Ziyi did not delay at all, and rushed towards the direction of Qixia Town with all his strength.The afterglow of the setting sun seeps into the forest through the layers of leaves, guiding those who return late to their homes.Mixed with a group of hunters who also returned from the Meteoric Immortal Forest, Su Ziyi restrained his whole body and pretended to be an ordinary person walking through in silence.And beside him, there was a warrior with an even heavier atmosphere.Su Ziyi doesn't know much about these martial artists.But when I remembered the previous times when I returned from the Fallen Immortal Forest, I could always see these people either happy because they were fully loaded, or sullen because they returned empty-handed, or even sighed, but there was never a time like this, as if someone had choked their throats with a shackle, making them unable to express their joys, sorrows, and sorrows.This made Su Ziyi completely realize that during the time he was away, something really happened to Qixia Town.He was apprehensive, and he restrained his breath more and more, and hid himself.Compared to usual, the road under your feet is no different, but as soon as you step into the town, the atmosphere of the whole street is different in an instant.Su Ziyi glanced at it casually, and found that there were many fewer martial artists on the street, on the contrary, there were many unfamiliar faces, all of them looked arrogant, wearing the same standard robes as the people next to them, and looked at them with contempt in their eyes.These people are people of the family.Su Ziyi had seen people wearing the same robes as them in the middle layer of the Fallen Immortal Forest.They are also like this, a group of several people, although their cultivation is not high, but they are full of pride, because the background of the family provides them with great support.For these people, Su Ziyi didn't have any thoughts in his heart, just swept at random, and after finding that there were no less than six people from the family in this short street, he withdrew his gaze.At the corner of the street, the shopkeepers who bought things still looked at everyone with kind faces, as if nothing had happened.A shopkeeper who ran a demon beast meat shop came over with a smile after seeing the second-level demon beast in Su Ziyi's hand: "This little brother, are you willing to sell the demon beast in your hand?"
”Su Ziyi recognized this person, he was the shopkeeper of one of the largest demon beast butcher shops in the town, he was a decent person, and the price offered was fair, so he had sold demon beasts to him twice before.It's just that the other party has to deal with so many people every day, and he has long forgotten what he looks like, so he said such polite words.Su Ziyi was not annoyed, he originally wanted to bring the demon beast meat home for Su Yulang and Bian Qing to eat, but after seeing those children of the family on the street, he dispelled this idea.He nodded and agreed to the shopkeeper's request, and when the shopkeeper saw this, the expression on his face immediately changed a little, and led Su Ziyi to his store.Following him, Su Ziyi passed by the group of children of the family without looking back, as if he was an ordinary person.The demon beast made a move, and it was nearly 1,500 taels.Su Ziyi rolled up the silver ticket, stuffed the silver ticket into his arms as if it were the same thing, and went home through the same solemn crowd.During these days, Bian Qing and Su Yulang, who stayed at home, did not have a day of stability in their hearts.A few days ago, I was able to make an appointment with Zhang Wu, who I met by chance, to go hunting in the outermost layer of the Meteoric Immortal Forest to relieve my worries a little.But in the past few days, the rumors in the town have made everyone frightened, for fear that bad luck will befall them, so Bian Qing is inevitably more worried about Su Ziyi, who has been away for more than half a month.Fortunately, on this day, Su Ziyi finally came back."
Father!"
In the evening, Bian Qing was in charge of dinner in the back, leaving Su Yulang alone in front to watch the storefront.Just when he was lying on the counter in a daze, Su Ziyi walked into the door with a bamboo basket on his back, which instantly made him jump, his eyes were bright, he quickly bypassed the counter like a rabbit, jumped onto Su Ziyi, hugged Su Ziyi's waist, and said happily: "You are finally back!"
”Seeing Su Yulang's energetic appearance, Su Ziyi's previous worries completely dissipated.He stuffed the snacks he was carrying into Su Yulang's arms, touched his head as usual, and asked with a relaxed expression, "Where are you?"
”"Eminem is cooking in the back."
As soon as Su Yulang took out a plum candy that he usually liked to eat, he suddenly felt sweet in his heart, and returned with a mouthful of sugar."
Okay, let's close the shop, go to the back and see if you Eminem has anything you want us to help with."
Su Ziyi glanced at the counter and found that there were a lot fewer pills, and he thought that business should be good for a while."
Hmm!"
Su Yulang had wanted to close the door for a long time, and when she heard Su Ziyi say this, she nodded hurriedly.Seeing Su Ziyi, Su Yulang's whole person was like someone had pressed the switch, and his small mouth beeped and kept talking, directly shaking out everything he had done for a while.Su Ziyi also knew from listening to him that their lives had been quite fulfilling for a while, but he didn't expect that Bian Qing would actually meet Zhang Wu again?
What kind of fate is this?
The speed of closing the door was very fast, so Su Yulang only had time to talk about it, and was led by Su Ziyi to the back.And as soon as they walked to the backyard, they happened to meet Bian Qing, who came out with a pot of vegetables.And as soon as Bian Qing saw Su Ziyi, he was also like Su Yulang, and his face was extremely happy: "You're back." ”When Su Ziyi saw his smiling face, the expression on his face couldn't help but become softer, and even the tiredness on his body was a lot less.Bian Qing looked at him from beginning to end, and after making sure that there were no wounds on his body, he was completely relieved, he glanced at Su Yulang, and asked him to prepare chopsticks and bowls, and then said to Su Ziyi with concern: "Tired, put down the bamboo basket quickly, how heavy it is on your back." ”Since the poverty alleviation, the Su family's meals have been good.After Su Ziyi sat down, he even saw a dish of demon beast meat on the dinner table, and as soon as he stretched out his chopsticks and tasted it, he tasted that it was a black caraver, and he remembered that he asked Wang Xi to bring a black carat back more than half a month ago: "It seems that the person is still quite trustworthy." ”Chewing the meat in his mouth, Su Ziyi said casually.Hearing him say this, Bian Qing's face changed a little, and Su Ziyi saw this and asked, "What's wrong?"
”Could it be that Wang Xi also caused trouble for Bian Qing and them?
His eyes narrowed at the thought of such a possibility.Bian Qing didn't want to hide these things from Su Ziyi, and when he saw him ask, he sighed softly: "He is indeed quite trustworthy, and after handing over the demon beast to me, he also knelt down and thanked him, thank our family for the help he gave him three or four times." ”"Then why do you look solemn?"
Although he was not very interested in the other party's kneeling behavior, Su Ziyi didn't think that this kind of thing would make Bian Qing's face different.After taking a bite of the dish, Bian Qing only felt that the food was tasteless, so he simply put the chopsticks aside: "When you entered the town, did you find anything wrong?"
”Why, this has something to do with the recent disturbances in the town?
Although he thought so in his heart, Su Ziyi still nodded first and went through the anomalies he found one by one.After listening to his words, Bian Qing broke his silence and said, "In the first two days of your entry into the mountain, nothing happened in the town.Only, on the night of the sixth day—" He raised his eyelids and his eyes were dark: "The man in charge of the town was passing through the corner of the Yang Mansion on West Street, and he smelled a foul odor—""—like the smell of rotting meat. ”Speaking of this, all three people at the table stopped their chopsticks.Bian Qing continued: "The husband went to look for the government at that time, but after the people from the government entered the door, they were stunned by the situation in front of them.Because nearly forty people up and down the entire Yang Mansion are all dead!
And the death was inexplicably miserable, and according to the rumors in the streets, it seemed that they had all died of some kind of poison, and judging by the rancid smell, they had actually been dead for several days. ”As soon as Bian Qing said this, he remembered the people he saw on the edge of the pit that day, as well as the thin old man who was crushed into a cake, he seemed to have heard that another foundation building cultivator called the thin old man "Yang Li", could it be that the thin old man was also from the Yang family?
He had doubts in his heart and immediately asked.Bian Qing hadn't thought about what kind of situation Su Ziyi had in the Meteoric Immortal Forest, and when he heard Su Ziyi ask, he was stunned, and then nodded and said, "I heard that there is indeed a cultivator in the middle stage of foundation building in the Yang Mansion, and his name is Yang Li." ”It's just how did Su Ziyi know?
Could it be that he had encountered it in the Fallen Immortal Forest?
Bian Qing immediately wanted to ask for clarification, but Su Ziyi blocked his words back with another question."
Then what does this matter have to do with Wang Xi?"
He really couldn't understand this, how could Wang Xi, an ordinary person, have anything to do with the fall of a family?"
Actually, it's not directly related."
Seeing Su Ziyi's puzzled face, Bian Qing first put aside the question in his heart for the time being, and planned to ask later: "It's just that when the people in the government didn't have a clue about the affairs of the Yang Mansion, they found that the other three big families were all killed by the same method under the guidance of the other townspeople!"
”"The disappearance of one family and three big families instantly caused an uproar in Qixia Town."
It's just that before everyone could figure it out, the government hastily closed the case, and announced that this matter was over without giving outsiders an explanation.And the day after the results were announced, someone found that a group of people actually entered the Yang Mansion, and cleaned the Yang Mansion inside and out, and even took off the plaque on the door, as if it was a new owner. ”"People who know a little bit about the inside things immediately didn't dare to continue to explore after discovering that the new people stationed in the Yang Mansion were also a group of cultivators, and only said that there would be no more Yang family in this world in the future."
Sure enough, after those people settled in the Yang Mansion, the other families on the West Street sent people to congratulate them one by one, making it very lively, as if the Yang family, which was the same family as them before, had never appeared.After the family made a statement, everyone in the town knew what was going on, but the family didn't dare to talk about it, so everyone remained silent. ”"It's just that no one thought—" "That night, an ordinary family on West Street entered the bandits, and a family of five was directly poked with a sword and several bloody holes were gone.Before leaving, he also set a fire.And because the family's house was next to the shop, the fire burned directly into the store, and when it was discovered, the shops next to it were already on fire, and when the fire was finally extinguished, only the charred walls remained. ”"Because the shop is the property of the family, the government sent people to investigate as soon as the incident happened.It turned out that the male owner of the family of five who was killed was a person who worked for many families, and what he did was not a big deal, but was responsible for dealing with the town's gym and the martial artists, but whenever the family needed to drive the martial artists, they would let him contact the martial artists to do things, and because of this, their family had been living very well over the years. ”"After finding out what the other party was doing and finding out the cause of death of the family, the government directly identified the murderer among the warriors."
And at this time, I don't know where the news came.It was said that the people of the family directly used more than 100 martial artists as bait to hunt and kill fifth-order demon beasts, and as a result, the whole army was wiped out.And the intermediary who was responsible for contacting the martial artists and the gym actually knew the family's plans for a long time, but in order to make money, he directly deceived those martial artists and let everyone die in vain!
”This time, it completely stabbed the sky.All the martial artists in the family are afraid, especially after some families find that their martial artists have not come back for a few days, they feel that the sky has fallen, although they dare not make any moves against the family, but they hate the cold-blooded family and the protection of the government.This kind of mood soon spread to the ordinary people in the whole town, and the short-tempered ones even caused trouble in the family's industry, and were directly killed by those people in the family, which made ordinary people even more angry. ”"That night, another martial artist set fire to the family's property, and although he didn't make any big trouble, he didn't catch anyone.""
In the days that followed, no matter how much the government stepped up patrols, the family's properties were always going to get some problems, either being splashed with feces or being set on fire, and making a mess.When the family saw this, they were also very angry, and they sent cultivators to patrol at night that day, but they really caught more than a dozen martial artists. ”"Among the captured warriors, those who were not resolute enough were quickly beaten into tricks, and told the people of the family which martial arts forces participated in this time.The family handed over the list of the warriors to the government, and the government immediately went to arrest those warriors regardless of the cause and effect, and the more astute of those warriors took the opportunity to run away and hid directly in the Meteoric Immortal Forest. ”"And among the people who ran away again in the list, there happened to be that Wang Xi."
