C110 It Was Interlinked

Shen Qiutong was sure that there was no longer anyone staying here. Just as she was about to leave, she was suddenly stopped by someone. "Why did this young lady come to the Murong family? Could she be looking for someone?"

This voice seemed to be exceptionally old. If one did not listen carefully, one would simply think that this was the voice of a ghost. When Shen Qiutong heard this, she could not help but feel goosebumps all over her body. She slowly turned around and saw an old man holding a walking stick. "What is it? Why are you not talking?"

Shen Qiutong stammered, "Are you from the Murong family?"

The old man nodded. "Hey, not really. I am just looking at the door. The people from the Murong family are there. " He pointed at the tomb behind Shen Qiutong. Shen Qiutong's throat unconsciously moved up and down and she swallowed her saliva.

She asked tentatively, "Where are the rest of the people from the Murong family? Where is young master Murong Ke?"

The old man was stunned for a moment, then smiled bitterly and said, "Little girl, you are late. The rest of the people have moved out. Young Master Murong even made a heavy vow that if he doesn't take revenge, he will never enter this family for the rest of his life. "

Shen Qiutong seemed to be stunned. "Such a big house, could it be that they gave up just like that?"

The old man nodded. "Yeah, what a pity. I'm not used to living here alone. It's too big. And I'll tell you a secret. " He pointed at the Main Shrine Wall Mirror in front of Shen Qiutong and said, "There are people inside this thing too!"

The Main Shrine Wall Mirror was used to bury ancestors and every family knew about it. Shen Qiutong was about to nod and agree when he suddenly added, "You must think that I am crazy. Of course it was in here. There are people here, but they are not the kind of ancestors you think they are, but living people! "

Shen Qiutong widened her eyes and looked at the Main Shrine Wall Mirror in front of her. "This, how is this possible!? If there are people inside, they will starve to death! " She looked at the tall weeds growing around her and felt that this old man was talking nonsense in her heart.

The old man sighed. "I think so too, but you don't know that the people here are still alive. If you don't believe me, come closer and knock on them. There will definitely be someone who will echo you. Sometimes three or four times, sometimes five or six times. They are all still alive!"

Shen Qiutong took two steps back, but she did not believe the old man's words. After thinking about it, she decided to take big steps forward. She walked to the front of the Main Shrine Wall Mirror and symbolic knocked twice. Not long after, three or four sounds of knocking on the wall came from inside.

When she looked at the old man again, the old man was already standing at the side with his eyes slightly narrowed. Shen Qiutong asked sternly, "Why is there really someone inside? Who are they? Why don't you want to save them?"

The old man shook his head. "They are all from the Murong family. Who doesn't want to save them? Unfortunately, none of us have that ability! "

Shen Qiutong felt that this matter was really unbelievable. If these people were really imprisoned inside, it would be like living in hell. The space there was narrow and there was no sunlight. It was no different from going to jail.

The old man sighed and said. "I know what you are thinking. Although there is no sunlight there, the space is definitely big enough. Furthermore, there is sufficient water and food inside. There should be no problem within a month, but after that, it will be hard to explain. Oh right, Miss, are you looking for Young Master?"

Shen Qiutong came back to her senses and nodded. "Yes, where is Young Master Murong? We have urgent matters to discuss with him. "

The old man shook his head. "No matter how urgent the matter is, is there anything more urgent than our matter? Young Master is currently busy with this matter. If you are not very anxious, I hope that Miss will not disturb our Young Master. "

Shen Qiutong nodded, "Then how should we rescue the people inside? Maybe I can help. "

The old man sighed. "You can't help us much. This Main Shrine Wall Mirror needs two keys to open. We only have one. And the other one is in our Second Master's hands! But, Second Master is gone now. "

" Does that mean your young master went to look for your Second Master? Then where is your Second Master? " Shen Qiutong couldn't help but ask.

The old man said, "If only it was that simple. Our Second Master has been missing for a long time. He disappeared when he went to some peak to watch other people fight. "

Shen Qiutong swallowed her saliva. She finally understood that these two things were actually one thing. The Second Master, Murong Cheng, was also the victim of that day. So, as long as she could find Murong Ke, she would be able to help the Murong family.

When Shen Qiutong thought about how Xiao Nanfeng was able to save so many people for the Murong family, her heart was filled with excitement. She even felt that this could completely cover the crime of killing Murong Ying that year.

After asking about Murong Ke's whereabouts, Shen Qiutong went straight to another manor in the Murong family.

That place was really hard to find. Because it wasn't in the Gusu City, it was at least a dozen miles away from the Gusu. Shen Qiutong mounted her horse, as if she had once again found the valiant and heroic feeling of the past.

The sound of the horse hooves gradually slowed down. Following the instructions of the old man, a rather unique manor appeared in front of her. The appearance of this manor was completely different from the Murong Villa in the city. There was no similarity at all.

It was no wonder. If he used such a remote place. . . The Murong family must have encountered a lot of difficulties. Only by hiding their identity and even removing their own signboard could they avoid the revenge of their enemies.

This was not the first time something like this had happened. According to the old man, when Murong Ke's father, Murong Biao, was still in his swaddling clothes, Murong Ying had formed a grudge with the devil religion, causing the whole family to be thrown into chaos. In order to let his family avoid this disaster, Murong Ying resolutely decided to take his wife and children out of the manor and come to this remote place.

A few decades had passed, and history seemed to have replayed itself once more. The Murong family was once again faced with a life and death situation, so it was understandable for them to use this place again.

Shen Qiutong paced around outside the manor for a while, but she still decided to knock on the door. At least she was not here to do anything illegal. Sure enough, there was no sign of the Murong family on the door. There was only a plaque hanging on the door. On the plaque, there were a few big words: Wind Wave Manor.

Wind Wave Manor was a manor that would only be used when there was a storm. This name was very suitable for the scenery. When they walked past the front yard, there was a group of simple wooden houses behind them. It was really unexpected that they could see a large group of wooden houses in Gusu. Although the style of building these wooden houses was relatively simple and the level of construction was also very monotonous, the overall structure seemed to have a different kind of charm.

Shen Qiutong let out a long sigh of relief. Someone guided her to Murong Ke's residence. He actually lived in such a place these few days. The wooden house was located in the middle of the group of wooden houses. The wooden houses on both sides were particularly tall. As it had just started to drizzle, the steps in front of the wooden house were variegated.

As he walked up the steps, his feet were slippery. The moss on the steps were clear. It could be seen that no one had been here in the past few days. Since Murong Ke lived here, why didn't anyone walk past here? Could it be that Murong Ke had never taken a step out of the room? Shen Qiutong muttered in her heart.

There were two knocks on the wooden door but no one responded. Shen Qiutong turned around and looked at the servant beside her. The servant only lowered his head and said softly, "Perhaps young master is still resting but it is not tight. Young master has rested well these few days so young miss can definitely go in and find him. "

Shen Qiutong nodded and was about to push open the door to enter but the moment she pushed open the door, her entire body was suddenly pushed from behind by a powerful force and she lost consciousness.

There was nothing in this wooden house except wood. Moreover, these wood were very hard, as if they were made of iron. Only then did Shen Qiutong realize that she had been imprisoned.

She turned around to look for that door, but it was pitch black all around, making it impossible to differentiate north, south, east and west. Shen Qiutong touched the wall bit by bit, trying to find some flaws, but she was still disappointed. There were no flaws at all here.

Since there was someone who set this trap for you to jump in, it was impossible to leave any flaws for you to find. Shen Qiutong fell into deep fear for a moment. She was thinking if no one had found her. Then she would have to starve to death here.

But her worries were unnecessary because not long after, a light suddenly shone in. Shen Qiutong was so excited that she did not know what to do. But this light only lasted for a moment before it disappeared into the darkness.

Shen Qiutong crawled over. Her stomach was rumbling with hunger and she did not have the strength to run over. This was indeed a door but the door seemed to weigh a thousand kilograms. Shen Qiutong spent a lot of effort and almost could not move the door.

Fortunately, she touched something. It was the chopsticks and the hot dishes. Through the window just now, there was a glimmer of light which allowed her to see these things clearly.

Shen Qiutong chewed on the food and suddenly thought that it was actually the dishes that she loved to eat the most at home. The people here actually knew what kind of food she liked to eat clearly. Shen Qiutong ate while her hair stood on end.

The sunlight shone on the courtyard, illuminating the two of them very clearly. Xiao Nanfeng stood in front of the courtyard of Dugu family and waited for a long time, but he still could not wait for Dugu Kuang to come out. The person standing in front of him was none other than Dugu Kuang's only son, Dugu Xin.

Dugu Xin knew that he couldn't defeat Xiao Nanfeng, but Xiao Nanfeng's request was too much. He had declared that he would hold Dugu Xiu accountable. As the young lady of Dugu family, Dugu Xiu had always followed the rules. This time, he framed her. As the elder brother, Dugu Xin naturally couldn't stand idly by.

Even if he could not beat her, he still had to block his way. Dugu Xin frowned and said, "Unless you kill me today, you will not be able to enter this place!"

Xiao Nanfeng sighed and shook his head. "Brother Dugu, I respect you for being a man, but Dugu Xiu's actions are truly heaven angering. Don't be so stubborn!"

Dugu Xin snorted coldly. "This matter. Don't say it anymore. No matter what flowery words you use, you won't let me take half a step away. Like I said, unless you step on my corpse! "

Xiao Nanfeng shook his head. " I'm not here to kill today. I just want to make things clear. In that case, I won't go in. You bring Dugu Xiu out. How about we confront each other on the spot? "

Dugu Xin hesitated for a moment, but shook his head. "I'll tell you the truth. My sister isn't in the prefecture. "

Xiao Nanfeng didn't want the incident of killing Murong Ying to happen again. He didn't believe Dugu Xin's words, but he still nodded his head. "Brother Dugu, I believe you, but I hope you will remember what I said today. Your sister, Dugu Xiu, is indeed not a simple person. If you want to protect the Dugu family, I hope you will think twice before doing anything. "

Dugu Xin raged, "Such big words! Could it be that you want to annihilate our Dugu family all by yourself? "

Xiao Nanfeng shook his head. "You misunderstood me. " Before he could finish his words, Dugu Xin had already rushed over. At the same time, the Dugu family had also set up a formation of over a hundred people, waiting for Xiao Nanfeng to walk into their trap.

Dugu Xin had fought with him for more than ten rounds, but Xiao Nanfeng had never intended to make a move. Dugu Xin felt that this was an insult, so he used his blade even faster. No matter how much of a True God Xiao Nanfeng was, it was impossible for him not to use his blade to block Dugu Xin's powerful attack, so he had no choice but to use his blade.

The moment the saber light flashed, Xiao Nanfeng regretted his decision. This was because he noticed that Dugu Xin's Qi was weakening. Judging from his Qi, it was obvious that he had been injured not long ago and had yet to fully recover.

Xiao Nanfeng's blade technique was still as sharp as before. With just two strikes, Dugu Xin was forced back seven or eight steps, and he spat out a mouthful of blood. Sun Mian and the others were shocked when they saw this. They hurriedly ordered Zhang Jun to set up a hundred-man formation, and trap Xiao Nanfeng.

Sweat was dripping down Xiao Nanfeng's forehead. He was waiting for someone to arrive. He didn't want to deal with this kind of situation, but as long as that person came, everything would be easy to handle.

Xiao Nanfeng held his blade horizontally in front of his chest and made a defensive posture. He didn't want to hurt the innocent, but he also didn't want to be hurt. As long as these people rushed forward, he would kill them to protect himself.

The moment Sun Mian gave the order, a furious roar suddenly came from not far away. "Stop!"

A horse appeared in everyone's line of sight. A tall and mighty man sat on the horse. This man looked like he was in his fifties. He looked majestic as he sat on the horse. The imposing manner of this sound was too frightening. Everyone could not help but stop in their tracks.

Xiao Nanfeng heaved a sigh of relief. Finally, he had arrived. Ren Bushi slowly rode his horse to the front of Dugu Mansion. He raised his head and looked at the plaque of Dugu Mansion. He let out a cold snort. "What's wrong? Have you forgotten about me?"

When Ren Bushi revealed his face, Dugu Xin was dumbfounded. This was clearly a face that was very similar to his father's. He never thought that Ren Bushi's true face would be like this.

Dugu Xin stammered, "Second Uncle!" This shout caused the crowd to boil. Many young men didn't know what was going on, because no one knew who this Second Master of Dugu family was.

If the new year wasn't longer, those who had been in the Dugu family for many years would be able to tell who this Second Master was. Second Master's temper was well-known in the Dugu family for being stubborn. Many servants had been beaten and scolded by him, so they had a very deep impression of this Second Master. Until now, they didn't wish for Second Master to appear in the Dugu family again.
