My Junior Brother is Black Lotus

"Jiangdu City?" Mentioning these three words, the boss's face darkened, "Guest officer, why don't you mention that place?"

"Oh, when I was young, my father once met a chivalrous man who claimed to be from Jiangdu City. Now that my father has passed away, he left a suicide note, ordering me to hand over the things he left to me. This chivalrous man." Gu Shenghan's ability to speak nonsense is not bad, coupled with her top acting skills, she can believe what she said.

The tavern owner didn't have much doubts, "Then you will follow this road and walk for dozens of miles. Where there is a mass grave, you can burn things to him there."

burn?

"What happened here?"

"Because, all the people in Jiangdu City died back then." That's why Jiangdu City has become a ghost town, and anyone who hears about that place will feel unlucky.

"Deadly?" How come?Did someone massacre the city?But if the city is massacred, will no one be willing to lend a helping hand?

"Yeah, they all died overnight. Those Taoist priests set fire to the city when they left. Even if they were not killed, they were burned to death by the fire." After a few sentences, he pointed to the old beggar who had been squatting outside his tavern, "If the guest officer wants to know more details, you can ask him. Don't look at his appearance, he remembers the things in Jiangdu City most clearly. .”

"Thank you."

Afterwards, Gu Shenghan walked out of the tavern, and took out a piece of silver from his purse, walked up to the old beggar, paused for a moment, and then threw the silver into the broken bowl next to the old beggar.

Hearing the sound, the dozing old beggar half-opened one eye, and after seeing Gu Shenghan's appearance, he already guessed his intention of looking for him.

"Tell me, what's the matter?"

Being so up-to-date saves a lot of trouble, and Gu Shenghan doesn't beat around the bush, "I want to ask you about Jiangdu City."

"That would be a long story." After speaking, the old beggar looked into the tavern pointedly.

When Gu Shenghan saw this, he understood for a second, "No problem, as long as your news is in place, everything else can be discussed." After the voice fell, Gu Shenghan even reached out to help the old beggar get up.

But was rejected.

"My leg is injured and I can't get up. If you sincerely inquire about the matter, you can bring me all the wine and meat."

"The old man, please wait for a moment." After all, he wanted something from others, so Gu Shenghan naturally didn't say much, and went directly into the tavern, ordered some food and wine, and asked the boss to put the tables and chairs in the old tavern with him. in front of beggars.

Then the two worked together to lift it onto the chair so that the old beggar could sit down.

After thanking the boss, Gu Shenghan sat across from the old beggar, filled the wine for him, and then continued to ask about Jiangducheng:

"I just heard from the boss that the people in Jiangdu City are all dead. Does the old man know why?"

The old beggar didn't answer immediately. After taking a sip of his wine, his cloudy eyes turned to the distance, which was the direction of the mass grave that the tavern owner had pointed out to Gu Shenghan.

After a while, the old beggar said slowly, "Because of committing crimes."

"Doing evil?" Is it a natural disaster?

"It's all because of the sins that that surnamed Liang did that made Jiangdu City into what it is today." For a moment, the old beggar recalled the past, and in his cloudy eyes vaguely appeared the words he saw at that time. The scene, the flames beating.

"Back then, the city lord Liang Yongchen was obsessed with the technique of immortality. He used everything to the extreme. He even followed what the counselors in the mansion said, and went to the place where the demon cultivators gathered to capture young children and refine something for him that could make him immortal."

"The elixir of immortality? How can there be such a thing in the world?" You must know that in this world, there is only one way to live forever, and that is to become a cultivator, and the strength reaches the golden core stage, and the golden core condenses in the body. The face stays forever, and you live forever.

"I don't know about it. I just remember that after the counselor ordered the children to be captured, he taught them some strange things every day, and when the time came, he let them kill each other."

Hearing this, Gu Shenghan couldn't help wondering, was he too ignorant?Otherwise, why didn't he have this method of refining pills in his mind?

……and many more!

The land of demonic cultivation, children, cannibalism... Gu Shenghan suddenly had a very bold guess.

According to the general thinking, people captured from the place of demonic cultivation must be demonic cultivators, even children, and the cultivation method of demonic cultivators, killing can also increase their cultivation base.

He also thought just now that there is only one way to live forever in the world, so the counselor's intention should be to take advantage of the children's good control, and then let them use the method of killing to quickly cultivate to the golden core stage, and then kill people to get the pill!

"What happened after that? City Lord Liang finally got his wish?" Could it be that in the end it was because the City Lord Liang practiced faster for the children of demon cultivators, so he let him kill so much that he massacred the city?

"No." The old beggar shook his head, and then there were more memories in his mind, "It would be great if that was the case."

"Huh?" You actually hoped that the lunatic City Lord would get his wish?

"The person surnamed Liang is certainly hateful, but the ones who killed me in Jiangdu City were Taoist priests who were recognized by everyone in Jiangdu City as saviors at that time." Mentioning the last three words, the old beggar even smiled, But it was an endlessly mocking smile.

He was laughing at the people in Jiangdu City who were stupid back then, and at the same time he was laughing at himself who was also stupid back then.

"Dao, long?" Gu Shenghan paused every word, a little suspicious that he had heard it wrong, but the old beggar opposite shook his head in affirmation.

If it was because Liang Yongchen gathered demon cultivators for the sake of immortality to get rid of demons in the right way, then it is likely that it was the time when he and Daoist Qingyu came to Jiangdu City to slay demons.

But the massacre of the city... Uncle Qingyu is determined not to do such a thing, but Jiangdu City's transformation into a ghost town is definitely not a nonsense of the tavern owner and the old man in front of him.

What exactly is going on?

"Impossible. Ascetics are all decent people. How could they commit such a heinous crime as massacring the city? It's impossible." Gu Shenghan was a little unwilling to believe what the old man said.

But just after he said those words, a young voice suddenly broke in...

"Decent people? Heh, the so-called decent people are just some decent villains."

The person who spoke was a man who came in a carriage, because the bead curtain in front of the car had not been raised, so he couldn't see the man's appearance clearly, but the man's voice was slightly charming and exciting except for the gender identification. , even the belittling words are extremely pleasing to the ear.

Gu Shenghan followed the prestige, "Brother's words are a little too much, even if there are some people with bad conduct in the righteous way, they are not all."
