Anyone who has read the mayor's genealogy knows that with this special bloodline, every generation of qualified children will be born with two red moles on their foreheads.

There is no fixed pattern for how these two red moles appear. For example, the mayor Huo Yi, the two points on his forehead are aligned vertically, like a closed eye.Coupled with the warm breath all over his body, at first glance he thought he was a Bodhisattva from the Buddha Kingdom, with a solemn treasure appearance and a myriad of auspiciousness.

The distribution of the two red moles on Xiaobao's forehead is not the same as Huo Yi's. These two moles are dotted on his brows. If you don't look carefully, you can't really see them.

As for Ah Shu, who is also from the Huo family, her forehead is smooth and nothing.

Everyone in the town said that Ah Shu was a crazy woman, and that her son would have a great future with the mayor, the future quasi-mayor and the priest of the clan, but she had a broken head and insisted on blocking her son's future.He had clearly agreed to let the mayor accept Xiaobao as his stepson, but he regretted it before the battle, and wanted to live or die.

The townspeople couldn't understand it. The mayor didn't abuse the child. He provided him with food, drink and fun, and taught him spells, reading and writing. Little Treasure was more dependent on him than his parents. I still want to kiss, what else does Ah Shu want?

Although family ties are hard to separate, the mayor didn't stop Xiaobao's biological parents from visiting him, and he didn't allow Xiaobao to recognize his parents. On the contrary, Ah Shu herself was crazy, and Xiaobao didn't want to get close to her!

As a result, Ah Shu also hated the mayor, yelling every day to ask the mayor to return her son, how could there be such a reason in the world?

Poor He Zhong and Xiao Bao, it's very unfortunate to have such a sick and crazy wife, and such a flabby mother.

Wang Jun told Xiao Minglou verbatim about the news he had inquired about, and at the end he sighed: "It is said that the parents of the world are pitiful, but I think this time I can't generalize. There are also people in the world who are too obsessed. Parents, excessive obsession will bring harm to children instead."

The focus of Yu Qingyan's inquiring was different from his. He was not as sentimental as Wang Jun, but said to Xiao Minglou: "I think the people in Taguchi Town don't reject foreigners. I saw that A Shu hated us so much earlier. , I thought that everyone in the town was like this, but it’s not the case. The folks answered all my questions, and I even found out that Xiaobao’s father, that is, the man named He Zhong, was also a foreigner. Humans, even cultivators of the human race!"

As for what sect He Zhong originally belonged to, the residents of the small town far away in the dark desert don't know. Although the Yaozu has communication with the outside world, there are not many.

So even if Xiao Minglou and others dressed slightly differently from theirs, they only regarded it as the clothes of foreigners, and never thought that it was the aesthetics of hundreds of years later.

"The Huo family is a big family in the local area. Nine out of ten townspeople all have the surname Huo, so they are somewhat related to the mayor." This is what Qi Chang heard. He is more curious about the mayor than Xiaobao's family, so he can't tell. Why, it's just a gut feeling.

Qi Chang: "But as far as I know, Huo Yi is also the stepson adopted by the former mayor. His biological father left Xizhou and became the son-in-law of a cultivating family. After getting married, he had a son the next year and found that he had a red mole on his forehead. , and joyfully traveled thousands of miles to send the child back to Taguchi Town, and never came back again.”

For those who came out of Taguchi Town, being able to give birth to such a gifted child is the greatest contribution to the clan. Huo Yi's father happily sent the child to the hands of the former mayor , perhaps from a sincere heart.

It's just that he didn't come back after that, and he obviously regarded Huoyi as the future mayor instead of his own child, so he dropped everything and went back to live the life of his son-in-law.

This seems to be a wise move, and there is nothing wrong with it, but doesn't Huo Yi have any other thoughts in his heart?

"What's the matter?" Wang Jun disagreed, "Which of us cultivators left home at the age of seven or eight, entered the mountain gate, and practiced since childhood?"

It is true that cultivators have very little relationship with their parents, and their practice also pays attention to cutting off the ties of the world, and they are devoted to the Tao. Wang Jun has long forgotten what his parents look like, and he has relied on himself all the way.

Even the master is closer than the parents.

Although Wang Jun's nominal master is not a good thing.

Qi Chang "grew up" in the mortal world. Since he can remember, the word "family affection" means the care of Master Shi for Miss Shi in every possible way, so his thinking is different from that of Wang Jun.

He couldn't understand this behavior of abandoning the child in the name of being good to the child, and he couldn't understand Ah Shu's hysterical attempt to snatch the child back.

Xiao Minglou glanced at Qi Chang, and said with a slight smile, "Maybe it's not that he has no ideas, but he has too many ideas."

"What does the Young Master mean by this?" Qi Chang blinked.

It was rare for him to show such a naive and dazed attitude. Xiao Minglou felt his hands itch when he saw it. He stretched out his hand and rubbed his hard face a few times. My hands are tired from kneading.

Qi Chang held his hand in a funny way, and gently kneaded it: "You haven't answered my question just now."

Xiao Minglou said mysteriously: "When the time comes, you will know."

Wang Jun and Wang Jun couldn't understand the riddle between the two, Yu Qingyan asked in a low voice: "Then what should we do now, how can we leave this time and space?"

The people in the town are undoubtedly those Taguchi people who disappeared hundreds of years ago. It is simply unbelievable that they can still live in this place well. Moreover, Wang Jun and the others have tested it. These are not ghosts, but It is a living, flesh and blood person!

Could it be that Taguchi Town's formation can stop time and space at a certain node forever?

Xiao Minglou chuckled lightly: "When you are dreaming, you also feel that everything in your dream is real."

Wang Jun was shocked: "So they are all dead?"

"Otherwise?" Xiao Minglou asked rhetorically, "An ordinary monster race in the transformation stage can only be cultivated at the golden core stage at most. Not to mention that the monster race in this town can't even transform into a complete form. A hundred is the top of the sky, and the ruins of Taguchi Town have been settled for at least 700 years, do you think these townspeople can live to be [-] years old?"

Wang Jun shook his head. He had observed that even Huo Yi, the most talented person in the town, was only at the level of a monk's Profound Vein Stage, but compared with Qi Chang, he was still a bit behind.

Wang Jun felt terrified when he thought that the lively townspeople who talked with him during the day turned out to be dead people who had already been buried in the loess.

Goosebumps popped up.

"Right now, I'd better look around and collect more information, maybe the location of the birth gate of the formation may be caught in the information." Xiao Minglou said to everyone.

The matter has come to this point, they have no other way, Yu Qingyan thought for a while, and suddenly said: "By the way, I heard that there will be a sacrifice tonight, Young Master, should we join in the fun?"

"Okay." Xiao Minglou was very interested in that altar when he was in the empty city, and now that he can see the sacrifice scene up close, his eyes are full of interest.Turning to Qi Chang, "Ah Chou, bring more peanuts and melon seeds, I want to save them for the sacrifice!"

Qi Chang: "..." Didn't this sacrifice go to the Lantern Festival and bring peanuts and melon seeds?

But the young boss has already made demands, what else can he do, and he can't just follow through.

The group left the tower where they stayed and headed north to the altar.

Quite a few people had surrounded the altar, and the townspeople surrounded Huo Yi, who was dressed in white, in the center like stars surrounding the moon.Huo Yi looked at everyone with a gentle face, his eyes were covered with rain and dew, everyone took a look, even foreigners like Xiao Minglou were bathed in his gaze.

Xiao Minglou met his gaze, only to see Huo Yi nodded to him gently.

Qi Chang frowned, he didn't like the way Huo Yi looked at Xiao Minglou, as if he admired Xiao Minglou very much.

It is true that in Qi Chang's mind, Xiao Minglou must be good at everything and perfect everywhere.But if other people also see it in the same way, he will inevitably feel a little disgusted in his heart. He just wants to hide such a good young master from others to see.

"I'm really obsessed..." Qi Chang twitched the corners of his mouth mockingly, no wonder he had a demon recently, although it was only a tiny trace, it showed that he already had an obsession with the young master's family.

But it is impossible for him to let go of his obsession.

"Well, what did you say?" Xiao Minglou heard Qi Chang's murmured voice, but because of the noise around him, he couldn't hear it clearly.Just as he was asking, someone suddenly shouted in front of him, "God crazy! Come on, the mayor and Xiaobao are vomiting blood!!"

what's the situation?

Qi Chang helped Xiao Minglou push the crowd away, and got closer to see what happened. On the high altar, the skirts of two white clothes, one big and one small, were stained with blood.The mayor, Huo Yi, was not bad and was still conscious, but the child in his arms was as pale as gold paper and unconscious.

"Ahhh—how could this be—"

Seeing this, the buzzing sound of the crowd was interrupted by a miserable scream before it spread.

A few strong townspeople picked up the skinny Ashu from a corner of the altar, threw her on the ground angrily, pointed at her and explained to everyone: "It's her! Just now! Something went wrong in the middle of the sacrifice, we looked around and found that she was behind the scenes!"

"Isn't this Ah Shu? She is completely crazy, isn't she trying to kill her son?"

Everyone immediately pointed and cursed at the crazy woman in righteous indignation, but the disheveled Ah Shu didn't notice it, as if she couldn't hear anything, staring blankly at Xiao Bao surrounded by the doctors, two lines of tears rolled down her face , muttered: "How could this be...it shouldn't be like this..."

Suddenly, she went crazy and rushed towards the crowd. The townspeople thought she was crazy and wanted to bite, so they all avoided her. Unexpectedly, she rushed out of the altar and ran into the darkness.

Xiao Minglou looked away from Ah Shu's back, and heard Wang Jun say angrily: "This is too much, how can there be such a mother who will destroy her child if she can't get it! Tiger poison doesn't even eat children!" , She is really crazy!"

Yu Qingyan also nodded, with angry and worried eyes.He was worried that Xiaobao would not wake up, such a small child was almost killed by his biological mother, alas...

Xiao Minglou suddenly said to Yu Qingyan: "Yu Laosan, I have a task for you."

Yu Qingyan immediately pricked up her ears: "Young master, please tell me if you have something to do."

Xiao Minglou smiled lightly, condensed his voice into a bunch, and poured it directly into Yu Qingyan's sea of ​​consciousness, in order to avoid being heard by others.

Although Yu Qingyan was puzzled by what he ordered, she didn't say much, nodded to Xiao Minglou, turned around and disappeared into the dark street.

Only Wang Jun was still angry. He looked at Xiao Minglou and Qi Chang standing on the left and right, and couldn't help feeling that their mentality was extraordinary, and he couldn't help feeling that they were too calm, so cold-blooded.

When this kind of accident happened, anyone with flesh and blood and emotions would sigh and sigh, but these two people remained indifferent, just like the heavenly man who had turned into a fairy, ruthless and desireless, unmoved by anything.

Wang Jun inevitably felt a little uncomfortable.

At this moment, Xiao Minglou waved to Qi Chang and him, and said softly, "Let's go and see Ashu."

"Going to see that crazy woman?" Wang Jun felt conflicted whenever he thought of this crazy woman.He thought that the task Yu Qingyan received was to watch over this woman, didn't he?

While talking, the three of them had already arrived outside the house of He Zhong and A Shu. Xiao Minglou tapped his fingers lightly and made a magic formula casually, applying a spell of invisibility and restraining breath to the three of them, and then carefully approached the house.The lights were turned on in the house, Xiao Minglou poked a bit of the paper on the window and looked in, and sure enough, he saw Ah Shu returning home.

She cried and accused the man: "You lied to me! You said that as long as Huo Yi was injured and he had no time to take care of Xiao Bao, he would exchange Xiao Bao to us, but today Huo Yi took Xiao Bao to do sacrifices together, even Xiao Bao I was also backlashed by the formation! If there is something wrong with Xiaobao, I will fight you desperately!"

He Zhong hurriedly hugged her, and said pitifully: "I didn't know he would bring Xiaobao with him today. He is usually alone, but today he is uncharacteristically. He must have discovered something!"

"Then what should I do? I can't take Xiaobao back. Isn't Xiaobao..." Ah Shu cried as she spoke, almost breaking her heart. You said, you didn't lie to me, did you?"

He Zhong sighed and said, "How could I lie to you? I found out too late. When I found the clues from the teacher, Xiaobao had already been taken away by him."

Ah Shu was crying, and suddenly bit her lip, her eyes flickered with a crazy light: "Otherwise, we'll just grab Xiaobao and take him away!"

The more she talked, the more she felt that she made sense: "Outsiders are unreliable. Last time you asked outsiders to bring letters to your teacher asking for help, but they took your money and ignored your words. Since outsiders are not good, then We can come by ourselves, as long as our family is reunited, I can go anywhere!"

He Zhong seemed to hesitate for a moment, and finally he was determined: "Okay, this is the end of the matter, we can only give it a go..."

Ah Shu's eyes had just revealed hope, but suddenly she heard someone chuckle outside the door: "So, I finally understand how you drove this couple to a dead end step by step."

"Who?!" Ah Shu's expression was almost insane, and she had long put life and death aside. She opened the door and looked at the person in front of her with vigilance and hatred, "It's you again, outsiders."

Xiao Minglou didn't care much about her hatred, instead, he passed her and looked at He Zhong inside the room.

He Zhong also looked at him, his eyes gave Qi Chang an inexplicable sense of familiarity, but because He Zhong also looked skinny and had a very bad complexion, Qi Chang didn't react for a while.He Zhong looked at the three people at the door: "I don't know why you guys are eavesdropping at the door, can you give us a husband and wife an explanation?"

"What more to say, they have heard my plan, Ah Zhong, we can only kill them!" Ah Shu shouted.

Qi Chang pressed Ah Shu who had drawn out the bone knife, and looked at Xiao Minglou.

Xiao Minglou focused on congratulating him from the air, Ling Yuan caught off guard and slipped into the man's heavenly spirit, and the man fell down immediately.Seeing this, Ah Shu struggled desperately, wanting to save her husband, but she heard Xiao Minglou say indifferently: "Do you want to pretend anymore?"

He Zhong fell down, but a wisp of black smoke emerged from his body, then floated out of the window and fell into the palm of a person.

The man was wearing a white robe, with a gentle smile on his face, full of the air of loving the people like a child in the daytime.However, he did not deny Xiao Minglou's statement: "Outsider, how did you find out?"

"You took advantage of He Zhong's identity to secretly control He Zhong, and instilled in Ah Shu that if Xiao Bao followed your practice, she would become a monster without emotions. So she believed in the words of 'He Zhong' and tried every possible means To get the child back, he went to extremes.

"She gradually acquired hostility, and became unscrupulous in her actions. She became crazy, and people naturally lost weight. Others thought that He Zhong lost weight because of taking care of his sick wife. They didn't know that it was because of your puppet art that his body was gradually unable to bear it. , it became like this.

"And all you did was to cut off the relationship between Xiaobao and his biological parents, let him completely abandon his parents, and let Xiaobao follow your old path. You are thinking, why did you want to Abandoned by his biological parents, but Xiaobao can always miss his parents, what you can't get, no one else should get it."

After Xiao Minglou finished speaking, he raised his eyes to look at Huo Yi: "Lord Mayor, am I right?"

His words completely stunned the struggling Ah Shu.

Not only her, but everyone present was shocked, including He Zhong who gradually regained consciousness.

After Wang Jun was stunned, even more anger and dissatisfaction surged in his heart—good guy, it turned out that he was so filled with righteous indignation before, and he thought it was the mother who killed the child. I almost misunderstood the Young Master!

It's all because of the benefits, deceiving everyone's emotions!

This account, he has recorded on Huo Yi's head!

Wang Jun rolled up his sleeves, with an angry posture: "Young master, don't stop me, I'm going to fight him!"

"I'm sorry, but I really want to stop you." Xiao Minglou raised his arms and stood in front of him, then turned his head and said to the two behind him, "Ah Chou takes He Zhong, Xiao Wang takes Ashu, we Get out of here first."

"Why...why?" Ah Shu looked over with complicated eyes. On the one hand, she knew that Xiao Minglou had exposed the truth, allowing her and her husband to understand the deception, but on the other hand, the anger in her heart and I don't know how many times more hatred than Wang Jun, and I can't wait to kill my enemy!

She was so angry that she didn't want to run away from the enemy at all, but Wang Jun, who wanted to rush up one moment, grabbed her arm tightly the next moment.

Ah Shu struggled to break free and said, "Why, he went mad and got injured, now is the right time to kill him!"

"He's just pretending." Xiao Minglou said lightly, "If you don't design it to make you think he is weak, why would you want to go straight to the worst step and snatch the child from him? The townspeople have seen with their own eyes how you tortured their children, if he releases the news that you have snatched the children, do you think it is possible for your family of three to leave Taguchi Town?"

Ashu was stunned.

Huo Yi walked towards them step by step: "Outsider, I advise you to leave our affairs alone. As long as this couple doesn't see Xiaobao again, I won't do anything to them."

Xiao Minglou sarcastically said in turn: "You will not do anything to them, you will only use Xiaobao to stab their hearts, and transfer the revenge you failed to take on your father to this innocent family .”

Huo Yi twitched the corners of his mouth, as if he didn't feel uncomfortable at all.

Ah Shu cried, "Leave me alone, I will die with this person! He has caused so much harm to our family, I will drag him to hell if I die!"

Xiao Minglou gave Qi Chang and Wang Jun a look, and the two immediately led the couple out of the yard, and his voice also wafted into the ears of Ah Shu who was almost insane.

"If you and him die together, won't the little treasure that I let Mr. Yu go to great lengths to snatch, be about to lose his mother as soon as he opens his eyes?"

Qi Chang turned his head and glanced at Xiao Minglou, with a slight smile in his eyes.

He knew that the Young Master's family would never fight unprepared battles or do meaningless things.

The author has something to say: Qi Chang: Shaodong's family is the best in the world, he is beautiful and kind-hearted, and I am delighted.

Xiao Minglou (screaming): Can talk and say a few more words.

Qi Chang (thought for a while): It's still delicious.

Xiao Minglou:? ? ?
