Chapter 989 The Strange Event in Yixia Town

Chapter 989: Strange Events in Yixia Town

After hearing Zhang Hua's words, Meng also felt a little uneasy, and said in a low voice, "Hua, I...I'm just angry with them...uneasy and kind...I..."

Zhang Hua patted her on the head, and said: "It's nothing serious. I guess the senior sister of the Tianlong Sect also encountered such a thing when she was young. In fact, I was also on fire just now, and it was inevitable that I would conflict with them." ...Moreover, they are acting gentle and refined now, maybe they will change their faces in a while..."

"Hey, above the rivers and lakes, where does good and evil come from? Maybe such a clean method like the Tianlong Sect can prevent people from being bullied."

"Well, maybe, but... I don't think Tianlong Cult is as bad as the rumors say, at least...they didn't attack us, right?"

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

"Forget it, what are you talking about them for? Let's go quickly. The sudden appearance of the Tianlong Cult in the Jianghu is also an important matter, and we still need to report to the leader."

"Oh, hua, I suddenly understood. Didn't the people on Luoying Island ask the people from the Tianlong Cult just now? Why didn't anyone know about it when they patrolled?"

"how?"

"It must be that as long as they report their names, there will be absolutely no survivors, and of course no one will know?"

"Nonsense, aren't we living a good life?" Zhang Hua disagreed: "Let's go, let's hurry to Yixia Town."

Meng didn't argue with him, and the two rode forward along the official road. Although the two were fast, when it was getting dark and they came to a rather large town, they didn't see any Tianlong Sect troops.

Arriving at the town, Zhang Hua led Sixiang, and was about to go forward to inquire, when suddenly his heart moved, and he swept into the crowd in front of him, but in the crowd, they all looked in a hurry, or went home, or Looking for a place to stay, or buying, there has never been any suspicious person.

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

"It's nothing, I suddenly feel as if someone is staring at us." Zhang Hua looked forward unwillingly.

"Where is it?" Meng also looked at it, and asked tentatively, "Is it a member of Tianlong Sect during the day?"

"No." Zhang Hua was very sure: "Although the martial arts of the people taught by Tianlong are high,

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

Meng also looked at it for a while, but couldn't see why, and asked, "Are you sure? I didn't see anything."

"Hehe, maybe I'm overthinking." Zhang Hua also felt a little unconfident.

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

The old man selling green vegetables looked up at him, nodded and said, "This is Yixia Town, I am looking for an inn to stay."

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

Zhang Hua turned his head to look, and said, "Thank you, old man, but I have something else I want to ask."

"Oh? Brother, please tell me." He probably has never seen such a polite Jianghu person. The old man said happily: "I have lived in Yixia Town for more than 60 years. There is nothing in this town that I don't know. "

"Haha, that's great." Zhang Hua was overjoyed and asked, "Then do you always know a man named Hou Mingcheng?"

"Hou Mingcheng?" The old man was taken aback for a moment, frowning and thinking for a long time: "How old is this man? Where is he in the town?"

"Dizzy?" Zhang Hua curled his lips: "If I know where it is in the town, why should I ask your old man?"

But he said: "I don't know how old I am, but I must be over forty or fifty years old."

The old man thought for a long time, and finally shook his head; "Brother, I'm getting old, and my brain is not very sharp. I can't remember this person's name. You should go to the inn and ask the second shopkeeper. a lot, see a lot, or know it.”

Zhang Hua felt reasonable when he heard it, and was about to leave when Meng asked again: "Then, may I ask the old man, this Yixia Township is a big family with the surname Hou?"

"Oh, of course I know this. One is in the west of the town. The current head of the family is called Hou Feng. His family has tens of thousands of mu of fertile land in Beishan. Shi business. However, there is no one named Hou Mingcheng in either of them, I can be sure of that."

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

Zhang Hua and Meng were not surprised. What Master Chang Geng said was forty years ago. It is a question whether this man named Hou Mingcheng is still alive, let alone after so many years, he can still be remembered.

Therefore, Zhang Hua asked the exact locations of the two families surnamed Hou in Ming Town. Zhang Hua and Meng were resting separately. It was late at this time, and it was not a good time to visit.

In the early morning of the next day, after Zhang Hua and Meng finished grooming, they 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: "You know? It was just last night, Something big is happening in town"

"What's the big deal? What's the big deal? I could hear the faint beating of gongs outside and a burst of commotion. It's already midnight, and I'm too lazy to get up."

"Hey, you said that there are unpredictable things in the sky, and people have misfortunes and blessings. The old Hou's family has accumulated virtue all their lives, so why did they end up like this?"

"Old Hou's family?" One person asked curiously, "Is it from Zhenxi or Zhenbei?"

"Nonsense, of course it's from Zhenxi, Hou Laofeng, this old man is always good to the people around him, he can't be said to be a Buddha from thousands of families, but he can send cotton in winter and wrinkle in summer, why did this natural disaster fall on them What about the family? You said, although the orphans and widows in the north of the town are usually extremely mean, God may see them for the sake of occupying the family property, so let’s burn it, how can Hou Laofeng also be burned?”

"It's also strange, one town west, one town north, far away, all burned down, and all of them were surnamed Hou."

"Why? Is it possible...you still want to set the whole town on fire?"

...

After hearing this, Zhang Hua's expression changed drastically, before he stepped forward to ask, he pulled Meng's hand and said, "Quick, let's go."

Of course Meng also heard it, she gritted her teeth and said, "Go quickly, there must be something strange here"

When the two came to the house of Zhenxi Houfeng, they felt a little frustrated.

This is a house that occupies quite a large area, but at this time, it has been reduced to broken bricks and tiles, the burnt black wooden beams still have slight flames, and there is still a faint white gas rising from the whole house. It must have been the vapor from the people in the town who extinguished the fire last night.

A lot of people gathered in front of the burnt mansion, Zhang Hua found a young man in disheveled clothes and some water stains on his body and asked, "Brother, my younger brother passed by from another place. It seems that there has been a fire here... ? Judging by your appearance, you should have also participated in the fire fighting last night, right?"

The young man looked at Zhang Hua, nodded and said, "That's right. In the early hours of this morning, the Hou's house suddenly caught fire. I happened 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 kind person, and he was burned to death alive like this. Alas, there is no one alive in the entire Hou Mansion."

"Not one?" Meng asked through gritted teeth.

"That's right, the people from the government have come here just now. I heard from them that they also just came from Hou's house in the north of Zhenbei. 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 Hua withdrew his divine consciousness. The man was indeed right. There really wasn't a living breath in the Hou's mansion.

"Do you still want to visit Zhenbei?" Zhang Hua turned to ask Meng.

Meng shook his head blankly, and said: "No need, this fire happened strangely, if one family encountered it, it would be fine, but two families surnamed Hou all encountered it, if it was said that there was no connection, no one would believe it, this Hou If the Feng family is like this, there must be no living people in that family, so what's the use of going there?"

"Could it be the monk of Dalin Temple did it?" Zhang Hua frowned.

"I don't think so. If Dalin Temple intends to conceal it, as long as we don't write the names of Yixia Town and Hou Mingcheng, and don't even give us this list, can we still force Master Changgeng?"

"Could it be... Tianlongjiao?" Zhang Hua immediately thought of what he saw on the official road

"That doesn't make sense." Meng shook her head: "Who did the Tianlong Sect ever fear in this Jianghu? Even if there were some tricks, would they care about being told? Even if you and I knew about it, would they What's the use? Besides, we're looking for Hou Mingcheng, but we're just asking about my life experience, so 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 Hua nodded, but then frowned again: "Could it be that someone followed us? I was overheard when I was asking people in the town yesterday. ?”

Immediately, a creepy feeling rose from Zhang Hua's bones. He let go of his consciousness that day, and there were no people around him. If it was as he expected, as he felt, someone was following him , that... the martial arts of that person, no, how high is the supernatural power of the immortal way

Involuntarily, Zhang Hua looked around for a long time, and then released his consciousness to examine carefully.

It's a pity that the morning in Yixia Town is the same as other places, only the early birds are looking for bugs

Seeing Zhang Hua's nervous expression, Meng was taken aback for a moment, and looked around vigilantly...
