The commoner old man stared at the question, and with a trace of sarcasm on his lips, he asked: "Gutou also lives with you. Let me ask you, who are you, Gutou?"
Aunt Shan couldn't help but blush when she was asked, and shouted angrily: "Why are you crying if I'm not yours?"
The commoner old man also shouted angrily: "If Liu Qingqing kills you, can the old man not cry out in sorrow?"
Nangong Haotian heard something in his heart and asked, "So, the murderer who assassinated this woman just now was your boss?"
Seeing that it was Nangong Haotian who asked the question, the commoner old man immediately softened his expression, nodded and said, "Yes, he is the person in charge of this local transfer station."
"So, he was already at this place just now?" Liu Qianwen said as if she had some realization.
"That's right!" The commoner man nodded and said, "And the activities of the four of you these past few days have already been under his surveillance."
Liu Qianwen looked shocked when she heard this, and couldn't help but look at Nangong Haotian in surprise. Wei Xiaoying suddenly felt angry when she heard that her whereabouts had been discovered.
Nangong Haotian didn't say much. At the same time, the doubts in his heart were solved. At first, he felt that someone was watching his group, but he didn't find out who it was. They were traveling together, and he didn't use the Netherworld Demonic Eyes to investigate. It turned out that
It's the people here.
The commoner old man continued: "You won't find him because he is exactly the same as an ordinary fisherman. Even if he passes by you, you won't doubt him."
When Wei Xiaoying heard this, she couldn't help but glance at the house warily, and then asked with concern: "Is he living with you?"
The commoner old man shook his head and said: "No, he lives in a large house on the Cape Peninsula twenty miles away. He was the one who followed you to this place just now..."
"So, he ordered you to go out to fetch water just now?" Nangong Haotian nodded and asked as if he had realized something.
The commoner old man nodded and said: "That's right, because that well can see the seaside. If you show up, I will be able to find you."
When Wei Xiaoying heard this, she tilted her head and asked in confusion: "Since you have already obeyed the order to monitor, why did he shoot you with a hidden arrow?"
The commoner old man sighed sadly and said: "That's not because I was knocked down by Nangong Young Hero. He was worried that I would leak the secrets of this place, so he wanted to kill me first to silence me."
Liu Qianwen pointed to the woman's body still lying in a pool of blood and said angrily: "He was afraid that you would reveal the secret, so why did he kill her?"
When the old man in cloth clothes asked, tears welled up in his eyes, and he sighed and said: "It must be that she stopped the nine-fingered jackal from shooting me with arrows, so he stabbed me first, alas -"
Nangong Haotian's eyes flashed coldly when he heard this, and he felt a little apologetic in his heart. If he and his group hadn't come here, they wouldn't have been separated from each other, but if he hadn't been against him, how could he have encountered such a thing!
Nangong Haotian shook his head. It was really hard to explain this kind of cause and effect, so he looked at Aunt Shan and asked in a deep voice, "Do you know this person called the Nine-fingered Jackal?"
Aunt Shan shook her head in confusion. Before she could speak, the commoner old man had already said, "This nickname was secretly given to him by the people at the transfer station here. Very few people in the world know about it."
"Then what are the details of his past..." Liu Qianwen asked with concern.
"Not sure." The old man in common clothes said: "It is said that he is a close confidant personally transferred by the Demon Dragon Slayer King from Situ Tiannan, the ruthless judge of the Southwest Branch. He is very relieved..."
"A trusted figure!" Nangong Haotian was moved when he heard this, and asked: "So, the Nine-fingered Jackal is the secret confidant of the Demon Dragon Slayer King?"
"Of course!" The commoner man nodded and said, "Otherwise, how could he be assigned to this extremely important and absolutely confidential job in this place?"
After the old man in cloth said this, he paused, lowered his voice, and continued: "From his own tone, he is the direct disciple of the Dragon Slayer King and the heir to the mantle!"
"Oh, that's it!" Nangong Haotian responded, but there was only a sneer on the corner of his lips, the Demon Dragon Slayer King? What about his direct disciples! If you wait any longer, even the Demon Dragon Slayer King will die in his own hands.
Although Nangong Haotian didn't care, Liu Qianwen, Wei Xiaoying, and Aunt Shan were secretly surprised, and they were all stunned. Demon Dragon Slayer King taught Nangong Haotian martial arts, and wanted him to clean up the general branch rudders of various places, and to avenge him for being sent out that year.
Chivalrous people from all the gates besieged him, causing great shame and shame.
However, this nine-fingered jackal was a confidant personally sent by the Demon Dragon Slayer King to preside over this secret transfer station that even Nangong Haotian didn't know about.
They knew that Nangong Hao was the direct disciple of the Demon Dragon Slayer King. When did a nine-fingered jackal show up again?
If this is the case, I'm afraid Nangong Haotian's importance in the old devil's mind is not as important as that of the Nine-fingered Jackal. Thinking about this, the three of them looked at Nangong Haotian at the same time.
Liu Qianwen and the others just thought of this. If they knew about Nangong Haotian's actual learning situation and that they would kill him if he lost his use value to the Demon Dragon Slayer King one day, they would probably be even more worried about Nangong Haotian.
.
But Nangong Haotian was not worried at all. He looked at the old man in civilian clothes quietly with an air of immortality. He sneered in his heart. He might be able to understand this nine-fingered jackal!
Seeing Nangong Haotian's expressionless face, the commoner old man didn't know what he was thinking, and continued: "It is said that the Nine-fingered Jackal has mastered the true inheritance of the Dragon Slayer King, and his martial arts skills are unfathomable..."
Liu Qianwen asked coldly: "You haven't fought with him, how do you know that his martial arts are unfathomable?"
The commoner old man said with emotion: "He is my immediate boss, how can I dare to fight with him?"
Seeing that the two of them were getting further and further apart, Wei Xiaoying hurriedly returned to the topic and asked, "Has the nine-fingered jackal escaped back to his residence now?"
"How do I know this?" The commoner man glanced at Wei Xiaoying and asked, "But you already know where he lives, are you still afraid that you won't be able to find him?"
Wei Xiaoying said worriedly: "But, he is wearing the same clothes as a fisherman. If he is among the fishermen, how will we find him? Looking for him on the vast seaside is like looking for a needle in a haystack!"
The commoner old man said: "It's very simple. He has a dog's chest and a hunchback, a horse's face and a monkey's mouth, and two hands with nine fingers. As long as you meet him, you will definitely recognize him."
Aunt Shan asked with concern: "His mansion..."
But as soon as the words came out of his mouth, the common man said knowingly: "The dragon sign has been removed from his mansion. Come with me."
With that said, the commoner old man turned around and walked towards the courtyard gate. Nangong Haotian did not hesitate and followed directly. Aunt Shan, Liu Qianwen and Wei Xiaoying looked at each other and had no choice but to follow Nangong Haotian in.
The old man in civilian clothes walked to the door of the courtyard, raised his hand and pointed to the vertical rafter on the door lintel, and said: "Here, look, this new round scar is the mark of the dragon mark that was removed half a month ago."
"So, there is a new circular scar on the vertical rafter of his gate tower?" Nangong Haotian asked as if he had some realization.
"Yes, it will not be difficult for you to find his mansion." The old man nodded and said: "However, the situation inside may be more strict than that of Wuyi Mountain Villa, and the masters are certainly much better than Liu Qingqing's men."
"Of course we will pay attention to this." Liu Qianwen said solemnly.
"I've never been to the Nine-fingered Jackal's house, and he wouldn't allow me to go in!" The commoner old man nodded and said, "But I advise the four of you, you'd better go in directly during the day, and don't go in late at night.
House……"
"Thank you for your advice!" Wei Xiaoying said hurriedly and gratefully: "However, I hope you can go with us."
"No, I have to find a thin coffin to bury her." The commoner man shook his head and said. After speaking, he turned back to look at the woman's body on the ground in the courtyard.
"But what if the Nine-fingered Jackal kills you if we leave?" Liu Qianwen and Wei Xiaoying said anxiously, "You should go with us!"
The commoner old man smiled sadly and said: "I have already given up on life and death. Moreover, even if I go with you, I will still die. If I am lucky enough to survive, I may be able to do other things for you."
Wei Xiaoying said hurriedly: "But since you know that you will definitely die, why don't you come with us?"
Liu Qianwen also comforted: "Well, if you intend to do something meaningful for Haotian, you shouldn't stay here. Besides, we can pay people in the village to take care of the matter of burying this woman on our behalf."
ah."
"No, I'm not worried. I want to cook it with my own hands." The old man in cloth clothes said firmly. After a pause, he immediately turned back to look at Wei Xiaoying and said suddenly: "Oh, Miss Wei, let me tell you one more time.
, Wei Laogu once sent it to this place, but it was hurriedly sent away by a few jackals before it was sent to Sanjian Island."
When Wei Xiaoying heard this, her eyes were red and she asked urgently: "Do you know where he was sent?"
"I don't know this either!" said the commoner old man: "Only the nine-fingered jackal knows this."
When Wei Xiaoying heard this, she hid her face and cried. She came all the way here with Nangong Haotian and others to find her father, but now that she got this news, she couldn't help but feel a little disappointed.
Liu Qianwen patted Wei Xiaoying on the shoulder and asked with concern: "So my father is imprisoned on the island?"
"That's right!" The commoner man nodded and said, "Master Liu is imprisoned on the island now."
Nangong Haotian asked eagerly: "So Shangguan Mi is also on the island?"
"Yes, he is a rebellious prisoner who surrendered himself to the trap."
"What?" Nangong Haotian and the others were shocked when they heard this, and exclaimed almost urgently: "He is also a prisoner?"
The commoner old man nodded and said: "Yes, Shangguan Mie was sent to Sanjian Island by the Nine-fingered Jackal as soon as he escaped to this place."
