Chapter 637: Forced to the point (1st update)
“Tieguanyin?”
When they suddenly heard this code name, both Hu Ma and Erguotou were a little shocked.
You have to be surprised.
Among the messages Da Hongpao left behind, a very important one was for them to find Tie Guanyin and solve all the mysteries.
From the first time Hu Ma shared information with Houerjiu, Erguotou and Miss Baijiu, he set one of his four major goals to find Tieguanyin.
But who would have thought that the first clue she heard would come from the mouths of people with the ten surnames, and she...
...even twenty years ago, it fell into the hands of the ten surnames?
For a moment, there was an invisible horror that enveloped his mind, and Hu Ma felt like his heart was racing and a cloud was gathering.
When they first met these two people, Hu Ma was already suspicious because Chen Abao let slip and heard the word "traitor", and even mentioned it at the gathering of reincarnated people...
It's a reminder, but it's also a fear deep inside. The more deeply the reincarnated people hide and hug each other, the more worried they become that even the reincarnated people can't trust them...
But now, has the nightmare really come true? Not only has someone been exposed for betrayal, but he is also the one who holds the most important information?
While his heart was shaking, he couldn't help but turn his head to look at Erguotou, and saw that this old man was also silent now, moving his fingers gently but not speaking.
To outsiders, it seemed that his concentration skills were too deep, or that he had already made guesses and did not reveal them in words.
Hu Ma knew that this old man was probably confused...
...Brother Erguotou is older than me and more capable than me, but his ability to resist certain major news is not as good as mine.
So, in the invisible panic, he suppressed the surge in his heart, slowly raised his head, looked at the two people in front of him, and said slowly: "So..."
"The evil spirit you are talking about is in the City of Vain Death?"
"More than that?"
Zhao Sanyi glanced at the calm Erguotou opposite him, as if he admired his Qi-nurturing skills, but also worried that he didn't understand the seriousness of the situation. He said in a deep voice: "This trip, the Zhang family and the Meng family have spent a lot of money. , Masters from all kinds of strange sects and evil objects have arrived in Fusei City, and the Meng family even issued a secret edict and summoned many princes. "
"Such a big movement only shows that they really have great expectations for this matter, and they even chose the city of Fu Shi carefully."
"This is probably to guard against the Hu family."
"Today, eight of the ten surnames have their roots in the underworld, with the exception of the two surnames Hu and Meng."
"But in the past twenty years, the Meng family has found a good ancestor, and more than half of the clan has come down to work in the underworld. Now, it has become the largest in the underworld..."
At this point, because it involved some old events of the Hu family, I just glanced at Erguotou and stopped talking.
Hu Ma also glanced at Erguotou subconsciously, then turned to Zhao Sanyi and Chen Abao. He breathed a sigh of relief and said, "Thank you both for reminding me, but..."
"...I wonder if you two can lend us a place to talk?"
Zhao Sanyi understood immediately and said: "Please do it."
As he said that, he picked up Chen Abao who was sitting listlessly next to him, bowed his hands gently to them, turned around and left the small courtyard, but deliberately left this place for them to talk. Hu Ma took a deep breath. Before he could speak, Erguotou shook his head slightly, then opened his sleeves, and several bouquets of green incense flew out and landed around the small courtyard.
Wisps of fragrance floated up, all pointing straight upward. At most, they were shaken by the wind, but they did not float towards the middle of the yard.
Only then did Erguotou pat his thigh lightly and said angrily: "We are in big trouble."
"It's really not small."
Hu Ma whispered: "After the first meeting, I have been asking everywhere for the whereabouts of Tie Guanyin, but unexpectedly, she fell into the hands of the Zhang family."
"It's no wonder that there is a gap in the information between the reincarnated people. Tieguanyin is the key to knowing all the secrets..."
"only…"
But while talking, Hu Ma also vaguely felt that something was wrong: "If she had betrayed her long ago, then the noble Zhang family would have known everything about the reincarnated person, even more than us..."
"But why has the Zhang family been silent for the past twenty years, and why has it not taken action until now?"
"Could it be that this fellow is really tough and didn't say anything?"
Listening to Hu Ma's guess, Erguotou suddenly smiled bitterly and said: "It would be fine if the time is short, but this is twenty years..."
"Are there any less ways to torture people in this world? If it were the two of us who fell into the hands of the Zhang family, what do you think..."
Listening to his words, Hu Ma also suddenly stopped speaking, and her heart became heavier.
In this world, there are endless tricks and tricks, those that torture the body, those that torture the soul, and even ways to directly search for the soul.
They are naturally looking forward to it. For twenty years, Tieguanyin has held on without revealing any important information.
But after thinking about it carefully, I find it hard to convince myself that the reincarnated people are capable, courageous, and have many ideas, but their bones...are they really that hard?
"But no matter what, we have to go to the City of Wasted Death..."
In the silence between the two, it was Hu Ma who reacted first. In terms of ability and time in this world, he was not as good as Erguotou, but because he was reincarnated into the Hu family at birth, he was the first to come into contact with Da Hongpao's legacy. information, launched the first rally, so on such a major event, he showed an earlier decision than Erguotou:
"Go in and find her." "You must see her with your own eyes before you can determine many things and find a way to rescue her."
He thought while speaking slowly: "If she has really betrayed her and even cooperated with the noble Zhang and Tongyin Meng to build a demon mirror, then we must be prepared..."
"Put her..."
He was already feeling cruel in his heart. After coming to this world, he had touched lives on his hands, but for some reason, he couldn't say those cruel words.
"Entering the City of Death in vain?"
But when Erguotou heard Hu Ma's words, he suddenly felt a little frightened and subconsciously said, "Do you know where this is going?"
"The City of Wasted Death was originally a place where the unjust and cruel ghosts were imprisoned. It can even be said that it was a gathering place for the most ferocious evil spirits in the underworld. It was already notorious in the early years and no one dared to approach it. But now , because the Meng family had no place to stay in the underworld, they turned their attention to the City of Wasted Death, and even managed this ghost place to be monolithic and dangerous. "
"If you break into this city of futile death, it's no different than breaking into the Meng family's ancestral hall!"
"Brother, earlier you only said that you would go into the City of Fusi to check things, which was enough to make people worry. If you want to go in and do such dangerous things, then..."
When he said this, he couldn't help but close his eyes slightly and smiled bitterly: "With your ability and mine, I'm afraid we will die without any chance of survival!"
Seeing the despair on Erguotou's face, Hu Ma also let out a deep breath and said slowly: "It's not you and me."
"It's just me going in alone."
"you?"
Erguotou opened his eyes with a swish, and was completely stunned: "With your little ability as a three-legged cat...are you crazy?"
"No."
Hu Ma was also thinking, and said slowly: "Brother, you know me, I'm not a troublemaker."
"It's just that I have had more contact with the reincarnated brothers and learned some things."
"Brother Houerjiu once said that when we encounter trouble, we are always afraid, panicked, and emotional first. Only when we have no choice but to recognize the reality and deal with it rationally."
"Isn't that what it is now?"
"When we heard the news, we were certainly nervous and panicked, but we also knew that this matter cannot be avoided, and someone must go to the City of Fusi to see her..."
"you…"
Erguotou was speechless at what Hu Ma said, and his voice trembled: "Do you know what you are talking about?"
"Brother, you and I are just ordinary people. Such a big thing..."
Hu Ma also paused slightly, wanting to explain, but in the end, he just laughed and said, "Isn't this because I was forced to do it?"
"If you don't go and I don't go, are we reincarnated people just waiting to die?"
"I already had the first priority for reincarnation. Now that I have a clue, how can I back down?"
"Besides..."
He paused and said slowly: "I was the first to bring out the news about Dahongpao, and I was the one who started that big rally, so compared to other people, I always feel like It seems like I have more responsibility than others..."
This was said very sincerely and seriously, but the truth was not spoken.
Of course he had to enter Wushiteng City, but the most important reason was that he was a descendant of the Hu family. He took over the Zhencong Mansion with great difficulty, and the situation eased a bit.
If the nobles Zhang and Meng take over, wouldn't they be the ones most affected?
The more important reason is that when entering the City of Vain Death, one must be prepared to kill Tie Guanyin when necessary, but that person is the reincarnation of the previous generation who rose up twenty years ago.
Coupled with the nobles Zhang and Tongyin Meng, who knows how much skill it would take to kill her?
Although Erguotou got on the bridge, he was not sure at all.
Only if he uses the golden mace to suppress evil spirits, can he kill her and escape using the identity of the Hu family.
This inside and outside is the reason why Hu Ma can make the decision.
However, neither of these two reasons can be explained clearly, so I can only try to find other reasons for myself, but I did not expect that I am still thinking about whether these reasons are enough and whether they can stand up. When I was young, Brother Erguotou was already...
…Moved.
Now he is in an out-of-body state, but his eye sockets seem to be a little moist.
He took a deep breath, let out a breath of cold wind, slowly raised his head, and patted Hu Ma on the shoulder: "You..."
"You silly little brother..."
"You said you don't like to cause trouble, but I don't believe it at all. Ever since I met you, a thick-browed and big-eyed person, how much trouble have you caused?"
"But, but I'm so, so touched by you..."
