"What?" Xu Zun and others were stunned when they heard what the old mother said. Xu Zun asked hurriedly, "Has anyone else come to ask?"
"This..." The old mother realized that she had slipped her words, and hurriedly waved her hands and said, "No, no, please just pretend that I didn't say anything!"
"You?" How could Xu Zun let go of such an important situation and pressed again, "Who asked you the same question and how did you answer it?"
Seeing that Xu Zun was anxious, the old mother put on a show and stopped talking.
All right!
Xu Zun knew that this was one-third of an acre of land, and it was best for him to follow the local customs.
So, at Xu Zun's signal, Zhao Yu took out another ingot of gold and said to his old mother:
"As long as you tell us the truth, this ingot of gold will be yours!"
"oh?"
The old mother was so excited when she saw the money that she quickly went to grab the money.
However, how could Zhao Yu give in? He immediately raised his arm and did not let her get it.
"Ahem, it's easy to say," the old mother said, retracting her arm nervously, "About a stick of incense, a heroine came here and asked the same question!"
"Woman"?" Xu Zun asked hurriedly, "What does it look like? How did you answer her?"
"Well..." The old mother pretended to hesitate, staring at the gold.
Xu Zun tilted his neck and signaled Zhao Yu to give her the gold.
After receiving the gold, the old mother happily replied: "That is a very young and beautiful heroine. She has nothing wrong with her except that she is a bit fierce.
"Similar to you, she immediately clicked on her eyes and ears after she came in, and then asked about Tianlong Inn!"
"Then what do you say?" Zhao Yu asked hurriedly.
"Well..." The old mother hesitated again.
Huo Anu couldn't bear his temper anymore and wanted to pull out the iron umbrella to scare her.
However, Xu Zun still held down Huo Anu.
He knows that investigating the case is important, and if it can be solved with money, it is best not to make other choices.
So Xu Zun simply took out two ingots of gold and said to the old mother:
"You answer honestly when we ask any questions. These are all yours! But if you continue to be pretentious on purpose, then we will take back the previous gold as well!"
"Okay, okay..." The old mother smiled widely, quickly took the two ingots of gold, and said happily, "Tianlong Inn disappeared three months ago, but...
"I know there is someone in Zenyin Temple who most likely knows the situation at Tianlong Inn..."
Zenyin Temple?
Xu Zun quickly looked at Xiao Zhennan and his wife, but Xiao Zhennan and his wife had never heard of it, so they immediately shook their heads.
"Don't you know about Zenyin Temple?" The old mother pointed to the northwest, "That Zen temple is at the foot of the North Mountain. The old monk in charge of the temple used to be from Tianlong Inn.
"But... this can be considered a big secret. Don't say it was me..."
Before the old mother could finish her words, Xu Zun and others quickly left the inn and headed towards Chanyin Temple.
The old mother said that the mysterious heroine came to inquire about Yi Jianxiang a while ago. If she rushes over now, it might still be too late.
However, the speed is naturally faster.
Because Banshee Country is a small place, carriages are rare, and people who come and go usually walk.
Therefore, Xu Zun and others had no choice but to rely on their feet.
However, Xu Zun is not a martial arts practitioner. No matter how fast he is, he cannot outrun his companions.
In desperation, Xu Zun had no choice but to tell Ku Niang to go to Chanyin Temple first.
Ku Niang is undoubtedly the fastest among everyone. Only by letting her go first can we catch up with the mysterious heroine as much as possible.
Moreover, Ku Niang has the best martial arts skills, so there is no need to worry about her safety.
Today's Ku Niang is no longer that numb robot. After receiving Xu Zun's instructions, she disappeared without saying a word.
Half an hour later, Xu Zun and others finally arrived at Chanyin Temple.
Similar to Daxuan, Buddhist temples are not particularly popular in the Banshee Kingdom. The so-called Zenyin Temple is just a few dilapidated tile-roofed houses.
When Xu Zun and others knocked on the door, only a young monk came out to greet them.
After asking, I found out that only this young monk and the presiding elder lived in the temple, and the young monk looked like a local and did not know the Chinese dialect.
"So..." Xiao Zhennan asked him in the local language, "No one came to see the host just now?"
"Yes," the young monk replied, "my master has been resting in the backyard and has not seen any guests."
After hearing the answer, Xu Zun and others looked at each other.
Xiao Zhennan asked the young monk to take them to see the abbot.
The young monk took no precautions and immediately took Xu Zun and others to the backyard.
However, when everyone came to the backyard, they saw an unexpected, even incredible scene.
But I saw the door of the main room in the backyard was open, and an old man was lying on the threshold of the door.
The old man was covered in blood and was dying.
Looking at the stone platform on the other side of the door, Ku Niang is sitting cross-legged with her hands on her shoulders, as if she is adjusting her breath and luck.
What was shocking was that the shoulder that Ku Niang was covering was bright red, she was obviously injured!!!
impossible!
The first reaction of Xu Zun and others was naturally disbelief. In the entire Daxuan, except for top masters like Yue Jinglei and Wang Dian, who could hurt Ku Niang?
"Master!? Master..." The young monk saw the old man lying on the ground and hurriedly rushed forward and called.
There is no doubt that the old man is the abbot of this Zenyin Temple.
"Kuniang!" Xu Zunze ran to Kuniang immediately and asked with concern, "Are you...are you okay?"
"The other person is not very old," Ku Niang opened her eyes, stood up from the ground, and said to Xu Zun, "it's the Bloody Palm."
"What!!?"
Zhao Yu, who was behind him, staggered in fright, and his face instantly turned pale.
In the martial arts world of Daxuan, Blood Devil Palm is a term that makes countless strong people change their expressions upon hearing it.
Because the Bloody Palm represents a pinnacle figure - Mao Jifang!!!
"Is it the Blood Demon Palm?" Xiao Zhennan and his wife were equally shocked. Han Feier asked in surprise, "That's wrong! Since you are so young, how could it be the Blood Demon Palm?"
"She should be the mysterious heroine that the shop owner mentioned," Ku Niang said, covering her wound. "This person is about the same age as me. She has reached great perfection in the Blood Demon Palm. Although she is not Mao Jifang himself, she has also obtained the true inheritance!"
"Ah?" Zhao Yu was shocked, "Mao Jifang accepted a female apprentice? This is too..."
"Why?" Huo Anu also couldn't figure it out, "It used to be the Demon King's Dian, but now even the Bloody Palm Mao Jifang is involved. The prince's matter..."
When Huo Anu said this, Xu Zun remembered the purpose of his coming.
He quickly turned around and ran to the old monk to check the situation.
But seeing that the old monk was covered in blood and his injuries were extremely serious, he might not be able to save himself.
"Elder," Xu Zun stepped forward and asked, "Tianlong Inn, tell me quickly, how can I find Tianlong Inn?"
"Cough cough... cough cough..."
The old monk opened his mouth and spat out several mouthfuls of blood. After groaning with difficulty, he managed to gather his energy and said:
"...The demon...the demon dragon went out to sea and rolled up wind and waves. The wind and waves were more than three thousand feet high. Qikakuba Arrieta, Anua Nuguliwa..."
