Chapter 989 Weird things in Yixia Town

After listening to Zhang Xiaohua's words, Meng Ye was a little uneasy and whispered: "Xiaohua, I... I'm just angry with them... I'm not well-intentioned... I..."

Zhang Xiaohua patted her head and said: "It's not a big deal. I guess that Tianlong Sect's senior sister also encountered such a thing when she was young! In fact, I was about to get angry just now, and it was inevitable to follow They are in conflict... Moreover, they are acting gentle and elegant now, and maybe their faces will change soon..."

"Hey, where do the good and evil come from in the world of martial arts? Perhaps clean and efficient methods like those of the Tianlong Sect can prevent others from being bullied!"

"Well, maybe, but... I don't think the Tianlong Sect is as bad as the rumors say. At least... they didn't attack us!"

"That's what you said, but... after all, there are six living people..."

"Forget it, why are we talking about them? Let's hurry up and hurry up. The sudden appearance of the Tianlong Sect is also an important matter, and we still need to report it to the leader!"

"Oh, Xiaohua, I suddenly understand. Didn't the people from Luoying Island ask the people from the Tianlong Sect just now? Why didn't anyone know about their inspection?"

"how?"

"Then it must be that as long as they tell each other by name, there will be absolutely no one left alive, and of course no one will know about it?"

"Nonsense, aren't we living well?" Zhang Xiaohua disagreed: "Let's go, let's go to Yixia Town quickly."

Meng didn't argue with him, and the two of them rode along the official road. Although they were fast, when it got dark, they arrived at a rather large town, but they didn't see anyone from the Tianlong Sect. Centaur!

Arriving at the small town, Zhang Xiaohua held Si Xiang in hand, and was about to step forward to inquire. Suddenly, something moved in her heart, and she swept towards the crowd in front of her. However, among the crowd, everyone looked in a hurry, either going home or going home. They were looking for a place to stay or make purchases, and there was never anyone suspicious.

"What? What's the matter?" Seeing Zhang Xiaohua stop suddenly, Meng hurried over and asked.

"It's nothing, I suddenly feel like someone is staring at us!" Zhang Xiaohua looked ahead unwillingly.

"Where is it?" Meng Ye looked over and asked tentatively: "Are you from the Tianlong Sect during the day?"

"No," Zhang Xiaohua was very sure: "Although people from the Tianlong Sect are highly skilled in martial arts,

But...but I should be able to find them, and they shouldn't do such boring things! You have to remember that we are just unknown disciples of the Beidou Sect! "

Meng also looked at it for a long time, but didn't see the reason, so he asked: "Are you sure? I didn't see anything!"

"Haha, maybe I'm too worried!" Zhang Xiaohua also felt a little unconfident.

Afterwards, Zhang Xiaohua walked up to a roadside vendor and asked softly: "Uncle, may I ask... is this Yixia Town?"

The old man selling vegetables looked up at him, nodded and said, "This is Yixia Town. I think I want to find an inn to stay."

As he spoke, he pointed his hand and said: "About a hundred feet ahead, there is an excellent inn!"

Zhang Xiaohua turned around and said, "Thank you, old man, but I still have something to ask."

"Oh? Brother, please tell me!" Probably he has never seen such a polite Jianghu person. The old man said happily: "I have lived in Yixia Town for more than sixty years. There is nothing in this town that I don't know. ”

"Haha, that's great." Zhang Xiaohua 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 man? Where is he in town?"

"Dizzy?" Zhang Xiaohua curled her lips: "If I knew where I was in town, why would I need to ask you?"

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, and finally shook his head; "Brother, I am getting older and my brain is not very bright. I can't remember this person's name. You'd better go to the inn and ask the waiter. They will listen. The more you see, the more you may know!”

When Zhang Xiaohua heard this, she felt it made sense and was about to leave when Meng asked again: "Then, may I ask, old man, is this Yixia Zhenshan a wealthy family with the surname Hou?"

"Oh, of course I know this. One is in the west of the town, and the current head of the family is named Hou Feng. His family has thousands of acres of fertile land in Beishan. The other is in the north of the town. The head of the family died young. Now he is a widow raising four children and running a jade business. . However, there is no one named Hou Mingcheng in either of them, I can be sure of this."

Zhang Xiaohua gave a thumbs up to Meng, said goodbye to the old man, and went straight to the inn that the old man mentioned. The guy at the inn was really smart, but... he still didn't know that there was a man named Hou Mingcheng in Yixia Town!

Zhang Xiaohua and Meng are not surprised. What Master Chang Geng said happened forty years ago. Whether this person named Hou Mingcheng is still alive is a question, let alone that he can still be remembered after so many years.

Therefore, when Zhang Xiaohua asked the specific locations of the two families named Hou in the town, Zhang Xiaohua and Meng took a break respectively. It was already late at this time, so it was not a good time to visit!

In the early morning of the next day, Zhang Xiaohua and Meng finished dressing up and were about to leave the inn with their horses. At this time, there was a burst of noise from the shop in front of the inn: "Did you know? Just last night Ah, something big happened in the town!"

"A big thing? What big thing could it be? I heard the faint sound of gongs and a commotion outside. It's already late at night, and I'm too lazy to get up!"

"Hey, you said that the sky is unpredictable, and people are prone to misfortune and good fortune. The old Hou family has accumulated good deeds all their lives, why did they end up like this?"

"Lao Hou's family?" One person asked curiously: "Brother, did you say it is from the west of the town or the north of the town?"

"Nonsense, of course it's Hou Laofeng from Zhenxi. This guy is always nice to the people around him. He can't be said to be a Buddha to thousands of families. But he sends cotton in winter and wrinkles in summer. Why did this natural disaster fall on them? What about the family? You said, even though the orphans and widowers in Zhenbei are usually extremely mean, God may just burn them because they are taking over the family property. How can they burn Hou Laofeng too? "

"It's strange. One is in the west of Zhen and the other is in the north. They are so far apart. They are all burned down. And they are all named Hou."

"What? Could it be that...you still want the whole town to burn down?"

…

After hearing this, Zhang Xiaohua's expression changed drastically. Before she could step forward to ask, she pulled Meng's hand and said, "Quick, let's go quickly."

Of course Meng heard it too, bit her silver teeth and said, "Quickly go, there must be something fishy here!"

When the two of them arrived at Hou Feng's house in Zhenxi, they felt a little frustrated.

This is a house that occupies a large area, but at this time, it has been reduced to bricks and tiles, and the wooden beams that have been burnt black are still slightly flamed. There is still a vague white air rising above the entire house, which should be It must have been the water vapor used by the people in the town to put out the fire last night.

A lot of people gathered in front of the burnt house. Zhang Xiaohua found a disheveled young man with some water stains on his body and asked: "This elder brother and younger brother are passing by from other places. There seems to be a fire here..." ? It looks like you were involved in putting out the fire last night, right?"

The young man looked at Zhang Xiaohua, nodded and said, "That's right. In the early hours of this morning, the house suddenly caught fire. I happen to live nearby, so I was the first to know..."

The young man told what he saw last night, and finally sighed: "It's a pity that Mr. Hou is also a good man, but he was burned alive like this. Alas, there is no one alive in the entire Hou Mansion!"

"Not one?" Meng gritted his teeth and asked.

"That's right. People from the government have arrived just now. I heard from them that they also just came from the Hou family in the north of the town. It's the same as here. Everyone's corpses were found in the room, and no one escaped. of!"

"Thank you~" After listening to the young man's words, Zhang Xiaohua took back the consciousness she sent out. That man was indeed right. There was really no living breath in the Hou Mansion!

"Do you want to go to Zhenbei to have a look?" Zhang Xiaohua turned to ask Meng.

Meng shook his head blankly and said: "No need, this fire happened strangely. If it happened to one family, it would be fine. However, both families surnamed Hou met. If they say there is no connection, no one will believe it. This Hou If the Feng family is like this, there must be no one alive in that family, so what’s the use of going there?”

"Could it be that the monk from Dalin Temple did it?" Zhang Xiaohua frowned.

"I don't think so. If Dalin Temple deliberately conceals it, it only needs to not include Hou Mingcheng's name in Yixia Town. If it doesn't even give us the list, can we still force Master Chang Geng?"

"Could it... be the Tianlong Sect?" Zhang Xiaohua immediately thought of what she saw on the official road!

"That doesn't make sense!" Meng shook his head: "Who has the Tianlong Sect been afraid of in this world? Even if they have some clues, do they care about being told? Even if you and I know about it, what will happen? What's the use? Besides, we are just asking Hou Mingcheng about my life experience, what does it have to do with their Tianlong Sect?"

"That's right. It's impossible for the Tianlong Sect to know our purpose." Zhang Xiaohua nodded, but then frowned: "Is it possible that someone is following us? Yesterday, I was overheard when I asked someone in the town. ?”

Immediately, a creepy feeling rose from Zhang Xiaohua's bones. He had released all his consciousness that day, and there was no one who was an eyesore around him. If it was as he expected, as he felt, someone was following him, That... that person's martial arts, no, how high is the magical power of the immortal!

Involuntarily, Zhang Xiaohua looked around for a long time, and then released her consciousness to check carefully.

Unfortunately, the early morning in Yixia Town is like other places, only the early birds are looking for bugs!

Seeing Zhang Xiaohua's nervous expression, Meng was stunned and looked around with alert eyes...
