"What happened next?" Ye Yinfeng asked again after listening to the other party's narrative.
"Later, and then there will be no later." The fat Taoist priest replied calmly, and then he sat down on the wooden bench, which made a "squeak" sound under the weight of the wooden bench.
"It's nothing more. You should know who the old man is, right? Is the jade pendant of the Zhang family really the legendary 'Jade of Apocalypse'? Why do they want to cooperate with the remnants of the evil cult? Is that the evil cult?
Won’t the remnants of my family take a look at that jade pendant?”
Ye Yinfeng then said: "Also, are there any other remnants of evil cults in Raozhou City? Have they sought cooperation with other remnants of evil cults? Then the old man's martial arts level is so high, why doesn't he go to the Zhang family himself?
To snatch that jade pendant, we have to use some unorthodox tricks."
Ye Yinfeng answered all his questions in one breath, and then waited for the fat Taoist priest's answer.
Li Xiaoyao was asked a series of questions by the other party and had no chance to interrupt. After the other party finished speaking, he calmed down. He looked at the other party with disdain and said: "Where did you come from with such questions? I'd better let me sort it out."
Let your thoughts give you an answer. I have asked so many questions in a row, and you asked me to answer which one is best."
"Answer slowly one by one. Let's talk about the old man first." Ye Yinfeng was obviously very interested in the old man who could hurt the fat Taoist priest. He always thought that the person in the martial arts who could hurt the opponent was simply
They are rare, but one appeared in this remote Raozhou, and according to him, the old man should be seriously ill.
"The old man didn't reveal his name, but I can probably guess a few things. There are very few sects in this martial arts world with such pure and yang inner strength and mental skills. The old man's inner energy is still a little burning.
The aura. It is very likely that the old man used the "Fire Sun Palm" technique, and there is only one place in the martial arts world where people who know this technique are the largest gang in the Central Plains, the "Shengyang Clan"
, this 'Fire Sun Palm' is a martial art passed down from the family of the previous sect masters of the Shengyang Sect, and is never easily passed on to people with different surnames. Judging from the age of the old man, he should be the father of the current sect master Fu Heng of the Shengyang Sect.
, Fu Aobei, known as the 'Gangyang Sage' in the world.",
Li Xiaoyao expressed his inner speculation. The "Ruyang Saint Hand" Fu Aobei and the "Tianluo Saint Hand" Shi Yinggong were praised by people in the world as the "North and South Saint Hands". The north and south refer to the north and south regions of the Central Plains.
.It is said that Fu Aobei disappeared ten years ago and his whereabouts are unknown. No one knows the specific reason. He did not expect that such a famous person would appear in this remote Raozhou City, and he was also a person with a big background.
"Could it be that the injury he suffered is difficult to cure, so he thought of using the 'Jade of Apocalypse' to cure his internal injuries? Otherwise, as a martial arts master, he can't get any panacea, why would he go here?
People from Raozhou City are deliberately trying to get that jade pendant."
After listening to the fat Taoist priest's narrative, Ye Yinfeng guessed.
"That's not necessarily the case. Everyone in the martial arts world knows that this 'Jade of Apocalypse' hides a major secret, and everyone wants to know it. But there has never been any news that anyone actually owns this jade pendant, so there are also rumors
People have speculated that this 'Jade of Apocalypse' is simply fictitious. Its purpose is for people with ulterior motives to use this jade pendant to divide the martial arts world, so that people in the martial arts world will kill for it all the year round.
Constantly.”
"In this case, we can't make a conclusion as to whether the jade pendant of this family is true or false. But the Shengyang Sect, the largest sect in the Central Plains, is a well-known and decent sect in the world. Why would Fu Aobei have anything to do with that evil sect?
If you cooperate with the remnant, isn't this going to endanger your life?"
Ye Yinfeng raised another question. He felt that it was impossible for a decent martial artist to cooperate with someone from an evil sect. Some of them would kill each other like you were selfless.
"You still underestimate those old guys. There are no eternal enemies in this world. As long as they have common interests, then they may cooperate. The purpose should be that jade pendant. They should want to use the remnants of the cult to
It involved the Zhang family who couldn't hold the funeral as scheduled, and they had better do it secretly. However, there should be dragons and crouching tigers hidden in the Zhang family, and they might also be spying on the Zhang family's jade pendant, so their biggest goal was to kill the cult member.
Involve those people."
Li Xiaoyao chuckled lightly, he was very clear about the intrigues in the world. This made Ye Yinfeng even more confused about the fat Taoist priest. Why did he have so much experience in the world at such a young age, while he himself
He said that he didn't stay with Wuyouzi for long. It would be incredible that he could be alone in this chaotic and difficult world.
Ye Yinfeng never asked him about this, and the fat Taoist priest didn't say anything about it. He didn't know where he got so much experience in the world. According to what he said, the time he spent with Wuyouzi
It's not long, and where did his profound internal strength come from? All of this made Li Xiaoyao even more mysterious in Ye Yinfeng's eyes. The fat Taoist priest seemed to be covered with a layer of
Like a thin veil. This makes him feel that the more he gets along with the other person, the stranger he becomes.
After the fat Taoist priest finished speaking, he happened to see Ye Yinfeng looking at him with strange eyes. He touched his face in confusion and found that there was nothing strange about his face.
"Why are you looking at me like this," he asked the other person in confusion. He didn't know what the other person was thinking at this time.
"Nothing, what should we do next? Stay in Raozhou or rush to Sanqing Mountain." Of course Ye Yinfeng would not say what he was thinking. Although the fat Taoist priest was wearing a mysterious veil, he
It was really good for me. Thanks to his rescue both times, I was able to escape from danger.
"I will observe here for a few days. I think Fu Aobei and the man named Lin will take action in the next two days. There will be a lot of excitement in Raozhou City by then. I guess that by then, Raozhou City will
The experts gathered here will show up, so we might as well take advantage of the chaos to see if the jade pendant is the real so-called 'Jade of Apocalypse'. I always feel that all this is not that simple, and there seems to be an invisible force controlling us.
It’s better to be careful and run away immediately if something goes wrong.”
Li Xiaoyao seemed to smell something bad. His idea happened to coincide with Ye Yinfeng's. Both parties had such a premonition that it seemed that all this was not very simple.
Li Xiaoyao had been running around all morning and hadn't eaten lunch yet, but Ye Yinfeng had already eaten. He had no choice but to ask the waiter in the inn to order some random meals, and then he was done eating them.
After the meal, Li Xiaoyao adjusted his breathing in the guest room for a while. His internal injuries were relieved and there were no major problems.
The two men left the inn again and ran straight to the south of the city.
The two walked through several streets and came to a huge courtyard with green bricks and red tiles not far away. They pretended to be having fun, mixed with the crowd, and walked through the gate of the courtyard.
Ye Yinfeng and Li Xiaoyao walked on the bluestone paved road in front of the courtyard, and he looked at the courtyard from time to time.
It turns out that the courtyard is the residence of the Zhang family, the richest man in Raozhou City. There are two burly men standing at the gate of the courtyard. They should be some ordinary martial arts practitioners hired by the Zhang family to guard the courtyard.
The two big men were dressed in blue satin warrior attire. Their expressions were cold and solemn, and their sharp eyes occasionally flickered to look at the crowds on the bluestone avenue in front of the courtyard. They looked like they were facing a formidable enemy, and they seemed to be unwilling to do so.
It is easy for strangers to approach the gate of the courtyard.
Pedestrians on Qingshi Avenue were trembling when they reached the gate. They were afraid that they might accidentally get angry and provoke punishment from the Zhang family members, so they all stayed far away from the gate.
"Brother, what happened to the Zhang family? It's like facing a formidable enemy. Everyone is so afraid of the Zhang family." Li Xiaoyao suddenly grabbed a man carrying a load not far from him.
, he asked softly.
The man carrying the burden was passing by the gate in fear when he was suddenly pulled by someone. His face turned gray with fear. When he saw the face of the person pulling him, he breathed a sigh of relief.
He saw that the person holding him was a fat little Taoist priest. He immediately put away the fear in his heart and said in a low voice: "Oh, this little Taoist priest, you are so scared.
It's not convenient to talk here, so I'll talk to you later."
The man carrying the load was dressed in coarse cloth. He should be a peddler from nearby. The two large wooden boxes were covered tightly, and it was unknown what was inside. In such a cold weather, the man’s forehead
But there were thin beads of sweat, which showed that the burden was not light.
Ye Yinfeng followed Li Xiaoyao and the man to find a rock beside the bluestone avenue and sat down. The place where they sat was diagonally facing the main gate of Zhang Mansion.
The man put down his burden, gently wiped the sweat on his forehead, looked around and found that the people walking on the avenue did not pay attention to them.
"Taoist Priest, you don't know something. The Zhang Mansion is having a bad time. The old man of the Zhang Mansion just passed away some time ago and he hasn't even had time to bury him. I heard that two people from the Zhang Mansion were killed last night.
Nagoin was killed in the righteous village in the south of the city. This made everyone in that mansion feel in danger, thinking that an enemy was coming, so this mansion was more heavily guarded. This mansion is not like this on weekdays.
of."
The man then explained to the two of them that he looked at the people coming and going from time to time, with a fearful look. He was afraid that if what he just said was heard by the Zhang family, the consequences would be disastrous.
This man was just an ordinary person. Of course he was afraid of offending the Zhang family, so he spoke in a very low voice and was very cautious, fearing that the Zhang family would hear him.
"Have the deceased members of the Zhang family been buried? Why does it seem that there is no funeral at all in the Zhang family?" Ye Yinfeng asked another question.
"I don't know about this little one. It is said that the Zhang family has many enemies. Even if they are buried, no one will find the burial place. I heard that the Zhang family also invited a famous burial master in Raozhou City to design the burial place.
The cemetery of Mr. Zhang is full of structures and extremely dangerous. One is to prevent the enemies of the Zhang family from finding the cemetery, and the other is to prevent the tomb robbers from finding the cemetery. As for whether the bones of the old Mr. Zhang are actually found
The burial of this little one is unknown."
The man signed back in a trembling voice, and from time to time he looked at the two men in well-dressed guards in front of the gate of Zhang's Mansion.
At this time, the two men guarding the gate of Zhang's Mansion turned their attention to where they were sitting. The man suddenly turned pale with fright. He hurriedly picked up his burden and rushed in without even having time to say goodbye to Li Xiaoyao and Li Xiaoyao.
He left in a hurry.
When Ye Yinfeng and the other two saw that the man carrying the burden was so frightened by the look from the Zhang family, they hurried away. They couldn't help being stunned. Everyone in Raozhou City was so afraid of that man.
People from the Zhang family can see how powerful the Zhang family is in Raozhou City, and the people in Raozhou have lived under the power of the Zhang family for a long time, and they have developed a strong fear of the Zhang family in their hearts.
They were also speechless for a while. Although they still didn't get the information they wanted, the man carrying the burden had already gone away. It was impossible to catch up and ask again. Even if the other party knew some secrets, they might not be frightened by this.
said.
Just as they were in a daze, a burst of rapid horse hoofbeats came from ahead, from far to near.
The figure of the man riding the horse soon appeared in front of them,
They saw a faint red shadow swaying in front of them. When they came into sight, they realized that the person riding the horse was a girl in red, riding a tall horse and heading toward them quickly.
The girl in red sat on the horse's back like a red flame, her red cloak undulating in the wind, and her heroic temperament stood out.
Pedestrians on the Qingshi Avenue obviously did not react to the sudden appearance of the rapidly galloping horses, and for a while everyone hurriedly dodged.
Suddenly, the panicked sounds of the people on the bluestone avenue were intertwined with the sound of the hurried horses' hooves, and the sounds of crying and shouting on the bluestone avenue became a chaotic mess.
