If he gives you these beggars Yuan Stone, more people will come to him asking for Yuan Stone. If he doesn't give it, those beggars will ask why he gave it to those people but not them.
Due to human nature, he gave the Yuan Stone out of kindness, but not giving it out of duty was a duty. If it really went on like that, it would be a troublesome thing.
So Shen Qing simply scared them away. After scaring them away, Shen Qing continued to look for his target.
Judging from the size of this ruined temple and some things from the past, it must have been that this ruined temple was once a prosperous place, but it later became such a place for some unknown reason.
When Shen Qing first came in, he discovered that this ruined temple was really big, half as big as the Nangong family.
This former display must be valuable, but maybe after the temple fell into decline, all the things were taken away, and only some broken shadows can be seen faintly from the corner.
Next to the tattered curtain is a column that has been slightly corroded by rats and ants for a long time. Looking from the inside, there is a large Buddha statue in the middle.
Perhaps because he was afraid that it would be unlucky to touch the Buddha statue, this Buddha statue was actually the most complete object in the entire temple.
Under the Buddha statue, there is an altar, but there is nothing on the altar. The bright yellow tablecloth has turned into rags, and the pieces that will not fall off are placed on it.
There was a young man lying under the altar. He was dirty and his tattered clothes were clinging to his body. You could see the ribs on his chest. He was lying there with his eyes closed and his hands on the back of his head.
, his lips were pursed tightly, and he did not look like he was sleeping.
What's interesting is that the scene around him seemed to have automatically cleared, and everyone was avoiding him at a distance.
Shen Qing looked there for a while, then raised his eyebrows and walked over.
Someone was unwilling to give up and came over to block his way again. He begged pitifully: "Master, please give me something."
Before Shen Qing could glare at him coldly, the young man lying over there spoke. His throat seemed to have been injured, and his voice was a little low and hoarse.
"Hey, people over there, if you say another word, they will throw you out."
Shen Qing noticed that the beggar in front of him was obviously older than the boy, but after the boy said those words, the beggar in front of him stiffened, with an angry look on his face, and wanted to talk back, but he was worried about something, and there was nothing.
After saying that, he hurried away and cursed in his mouth: "Damn it, this one can kill with a thousand swords!"
Shen Qing's eyes showed some interest, and then she walked towards him, stood in front of him, squatted down, and asked with a smile: "Little brother, can I ask you about someone?"
The young man tilted his head, without opening his eyes, and said in a hoarse and cold voice: "Who?"
Shen Qing lowered his voice a little, just in case. He also used Yuan Qi to control the aura of the surrounding sounds: "Ma family."
The young man froze inconspicuously, and then said, "I don't know."
"Oh..." Shen Qing was a little disappointed.
The young man paused and said in the same cold tone as before: "What happened to the Ma family? Why are you asking about the Ma family?"
This young man was too young, so it was normal not to know these things. But he just saw the young man's behavior and asked whether he was delusional.
Shen Qing adjusted himself and was not disappointed. He did not intend to answer the boy's question. He just shook his head and said, "Nothing." As he said that, he quietly stuffed a few yuan stones into the boy's palm and said with a low smile: "
Thank you, this is your reward."
After saying that, he got up and left. He went to ask a few older beggars, but there was no result. Only an old beggar with cloudy eyes and his eyesight could no longer function said a few words in a low voice.
"The Ma family you are talking about? The Ma family that was destroyed by the Nangong family? Wasn't that Ma family destroyed by the Nangong family long ago?"
Shen Qing felt happy, thinking that she might be able to get some information from him, so she nodded patiently and asked him: "It's the Ma family. Does that Ma family still have any descendants left?"
The old beggar's memory was already bad. He thought about it for a while before he remembered it and said, "It seems like it's in a haunted house in a ruined temple or underground. I can't tell."
In the haunted house in the ruined temple? Shen Qing raised his eyebrows and patiently asked the old beggar a few questions, but the old beggar couldn't answer them.
Shen Qing was not disappointed, and quietly gave him a few Yuan stones without anyone seeing them, and then walked away.
Shen Qing thought, is there a haunted house in the ruined temple? Or is it underground? What does this mean?
Shen Qing thought for a while, looked at the road leading into the ruined temple, and walked away.
Before leaving, Shen Qing glanced at the young man under the altar. He was startled when he saw that the young man had disappeared.
Shen Qing paused for a moment, then continued walking forward. The road behind the Buddha statue was a bit narrow and dark. Because it had been abandoned for a long time, it was slightly damp inside, and it was a paradise for rats.
Shen Qing walked along this road, and after walking for a while he saw some light. Shen Qing squinted slightly, and after a while, he walked out.
The first thing you see is a land overgrown with grass. After passing the land, you will see another medium-sized hill, still overgrown with grass.
Shen Qing took a look, first walked around the mountain, and found nothing wrong, then crossed the mountain and walked forward.
Shen Qing walked for a while and found that there was a small alley in front of him. After entering the small alley, he always felt that someone was following him behind him.
Shen Qing immediately became more vigilant in his heart, but on his face he walked forward calmly. After walking for a while, he turned a corner and continued to move forward while controlling his energy in his hands, creating the illusion that he was still walking.
Wait quietly for the person behind you to approach.
He stood here for a while, and sure enough, someone came over. Shen Qing's eyes flashed, and he immediately circulated the energy in his body, and grabbed the person before he could react.
The man was restrained before he could react. He struggled immediately after reacting, but it was of no use. He was already firmly controlled by Shen Qing.
After Shen Qing controlled the man, he was surprised when he saw his face: "It's you."
The person following him turned out to be the young man just now. He was originally worried that he was from the Nangong family, and thought about what to do if he was from the Nangong family, but he did not expect that it was that young man.
The young man had a cold face and continued to struggle hard. His feet started to move and he kicked hard, trying to circulate the energy in his body.
Fortunately, Shen Qing discovered it in time and quickly sealed his acupuncture points, thus avoiding some trouble.
With his big hole sealed, the young man had no power to resist. Shen Qing's mind was already spinning, and he probably guessed something. He looked at the young man and asked with a half-smile: "Why are you following me?"
The young man kept a cold face and said nothing, knowing that he couldn't get out of his struggle, so he simply didn't waste his efforts.
Shen Qing looked at him and thought he was quite interesting, so he said with a smile: "You know the whereabouts of the Ma family, right?"
Thinking about it now, the young man's reaction just now was really strange. He began to say very decisively that he didn't know that there were thousands of Ma families in the world. How did this young man know which Ma family he was talking about?
He asked other people and came over here, but this young man was following him. Judging from the previous events, this young man should have a deep relationship with the Ma family, or perhaps, this young man is originally from the Ma family.
Human, that's why I'm so nervous about the Ma family.
Shen Qing thought about this for a while and felt that his thoughts were clearer. He looked at the young man with a half-smile, waiting for his answer.
The young man still didn't answer, and his voice was extremely cold: "I don't know anyone from the Ma family."
"Then why are you following me?" Shen Qing asked simply, returning the question to its original point.
The young man froze and stopped talking.
The Ma family was exterminated by the Nangong family before. The Ma family managed to maintain the foundation of the family. Now I am afraid they are very suspicious and cannot trust anyone. After all, their son-in-law can kill their whole family without changing his face, let alone others.
People.
Therefore, Shen Qing could also understand the young man's thoughts. He thought for a while and simply said: "Do you hate the Nangong family? I am here to form an alliance with you."
Although the young man did not admit his connection with the Ma family, when Shen Qing mentioned the Nangong family, Shen Qing still noticed the twisted expression on the young man's face for a moment, and his guess was somewhat confirmed.
After calming down, he let go of the young man, and still used Yuan Qi to control the sound-spreading aura in the deserted surroundings. He said at the same time: "Form an alliance with me, and I will help you defeat the Nangong family. How about that?"
It is really not easy to gain the trust of a young man with psychological shadow. Shen Qing talked to him for a long time, but the young man did not respond to a few words, which can be said to be very cold.
Shen Qing was also quite helpless and had to give the boy the only jade pendant he had on hand and said: "If you don't believe me, I can't help it, but I can only say that if I help, the Nangong family will definitely be destroyed faster.
It's okay if you don't agree now. If you have this idea one day, just take this with you..."
Shen Qing thought for a moment and simply said: "Just smash this jade pendant, and I will come to the ruined temple to find you."
The young man still didn't speak, but seemed to have accepted his identity. He accepted the jade pendant with some heartbeat.
After Shen Qing finished speaking, he left with some disappointment. After leaving the young man's sight, he recovered and looked into the distance with apologetic eyes.
He didn't want to waste too much time here, so he had to use some small tricks to get things done faster.
Shen Qing knew that the young man was actually a little shaken just now, but this wavering was far less than his suspicion, so he did not say anything but accepted Shen Qing's jade pendant.
As for the piece of jade Peri that Shen Qing just gave to the boy, Shen Qing put a piece of Yuan Qi in it. He could feel the boy's current position based on the power of the Yuan Qi he put in the jade Peri.
He stood there for a while, then followed the power of his vitality and followed it.
Shen Qing quietly crossed the hill and came to the alley again.
