Chapter 786: The Death of the Butler
Ling Feng hurriedly asked, "Steward Wu, what is the appearance of Elder Xuan, how old is he?"
Steward Wu said truthfully: "To be exact, I have only seen Xuan Lao from afar, he is at least sixty years old, his body is tall, he is thin as bones, his eyes are as sharp as ghosts, a shallow mask covers his true face, and his long black cloak is particularly eye-catching, and he looks very mysterious and weird."

Ling Feng also remembered the scene of his first meeting Xuan Lao at the inn on the night of the full moon, when Ao Cheng and Zhang Brown and others were also present, and Xuan Lao ordered Zhang Brown to go to Yangjiazhuang. What Ling Feng saw at that time was generally the same as what Steward Wu described at this time. Originally, Ling Feng thought that Steward Wu would see the true face of Xuan Lao, but listening to Steward Wu's words at this time, this also reminded Ling Feng of Xue Qi, the dragon of the Five Lands. Xue Qi also mentioned it in the letter left in the purple incense burner, and he had not seen the true face of Xuan Lao.
As two important earth dragons, neither Xue Qi nor Steward Wu had been able to see Xuan Lao's true face, which made Ling Feng couldn't help but guess that Xuan Lao was either injured in his face, or he was someone everyone knew, and he had been covered by a mask for many years, just because he was afraid that everyone would recognize his true face.
Suddenly, Ling Feng's mind resurfaced the news that the cold and impermanent couple of the Baisha Inn had said before they died, "Thirty years ago, the Demon Dao Immortal was rescued by the Dharma Protector Zhang Jianhan, and he didn't die. ”
Thinking of this, Ling Feng's eyes widened, and he exclaimed in his heart: "Could it be that the Demon Dao Immortal is Xuan Lao, and Xuan Lao is the Demon Dao Immortal?" Listening to Steward Wu's words, they are of the same age, their behavior is similar, the Snake Mound has a deep foundation, looking at the rivers and lakes, they can surpass anyone, and they can find out the eight major families that have been hidden for a hundred years, this kind of ability is probably only possible for the Demon Dao Immortals back then." That's right, Xuan Lao is a resurrected Demon Dao Immortal. ”
Ling Feng's figure trembled with excitement, because of his bold and impulsive idea, but he knew that there was a certain possibility behind this impulse.
In a trance, the conversation continued, and Steward Wu's heavy and sad voice came: "The old slave hasn't seen her daughter for four months, the old slave knows that she must be more auspicious and less lucky, and the old slave knows that this is all retribution, it is the old slave who is sorry for the Murong family, sorry for the lady." ”
"No, Uncle Wu, it was my Murong family who harmed you. Murong Zhuo choked and said: "If it weren't for the dragon and phoenix jade pendant, if it weren't for the eight major families, Xuan Lao wouldn't have found you, in the final analysis, their target is me, and you are unfortunately my housekeeper, so you have this difficulty, and your daughter has this difficulty." It was my Murong family who harmed you, I'm sorry, Uncle Wu......"
Who said that men don't flick when they have tears, but they haven't reached the sad place, Murong Zhuo Jingying's tears dripped silently on the ground. Seeing this, Ling Feng was also deeply moved, clenched his fists, and said secretly: "Elder Xuan, whether you are a Demon Dao Immortal or not, you are indeed sorry for our eight great families, and even hurt these eight earth dragons, I, Ling Feng, swear, will find out your true face and give an explanation to these innocent people." ”
Suddenly, with a "hiss!", a dagger slammed into Steward Wu's chest, and the person who shot it was himself.
"No, Uncle Wu......" Murong Zhuo shouted, reaching out to grab his dagger, but obviously, it was still a step too late, and Steward Wu was already spitting blood from his mouth and dying. "Uncle Wu, why are you so stupid, why did you leave our relatives ......"
Steward Wu said intermittently: "Palace master, don't be sad, all this is the old slave's own fault, at the beginning, the old slave could choose to swear to the death, and he should not murder you or his wife...... has done so many wrong things, all because the old slave is greedy for life and afraid of death...... But now, the old slave understands that the old slave can't be wrong anymore. ”
Ling Feng said movingly: "Steward Wu, it's my fault, I shouldn't have come to the Yang Pavilion, if it weren't for me, you wouldn't have fallen into the trap tonight...... Come, I'll help you ......"
Ling Feng had already supported Steward Wu with one hand, and had secretly used his internal strength with the other hand, wanting to renew his life, but was pushed away by Steward Wu.
"Don't waste the true yuan for people like me...... Steward Wu said weakly: "Ling Shaoxia, Xuan Lao is ruthless and vicious, and an unknown conspiracy is brewing...... Xuan Lao painstakingly found out the eight major families and the eight earth dragons, what kind of conspiracy and tricks are there, I only blame me for being incompetent and incapable of investigating and dealing with him...... Ling Shaoxia is a young hero, a dragon and a phoenix among people, I believe that with an excellent young man like you, he will definitely be able to defeat Xuan Lao, defeat the Demon Dao Immortal, and return the rivers and lakes to a peaceful and prosperous world......" The housekeeper snorted, tilted his head, and died forever.
"Uncle Wu......"
"Steward Wu......"
Half an hour passed, and Murong Zhuo and Ling Feng were stunned beside Steward Wu's corpse, not knowing what to say or what to do. Just like this dark night, the cold wind blows, and the deep sorrow is shrouded in grief.
After a long time, Murong Zhuo suddenly spoke: "Ling Feng, you should have already guessed that I am the descendant of one of the great families, right?"
"Yes, when I entered the Yang Pavilion and saw Steward Wu, I was sure that you were the same as me, the descendants of the Eight Great Powers, the guardian of the dragon and phoenix jade pendant. Ling Feng said: "Big brother, for the sake of the dragon and phoenix jade pendant, I have suffered you!"
Murong Zhuo smiled sadly and said, "Ling Feng, because of the dragon and phoenix jade pendant, you suffered a heavy blow from the Huai River, and you didn't even know your father and mother when you were beaten, and you were chased all the way by the killer, and fell into the Smoke Palace, saying that it should be you who suffered." Why, why is the people's heart so vicious? A hundred years ago, the betrayal of the young people, the death and wounding of the emperor's heroes and thousands of heroic soldiers, and our ancestors fled in all directions like rats crossing the street. It's been a hundred years, why can't we live in peace, why are we still implicated by this dragon and phoenix jade pendant?"
Ling Feng sighed and said with relief: "Big brother, this may be our fate, as the descendants of the Eight Great King Kongs, we have no choice but to complete the mission left by our ancestors. No matter how much damage we have experienced and how much disaster we have experienced, we have only one belief, and the treasure and mandarin duck sword spectrum must not be used by the bad people to cause disaster. ”
"What else can we do, rescue Xuan Lao, kill Xuan Lao?" Murong Zhuo said sadly: "After killing Xuan Lao, there will be the next Xuan Lao who will take the dragon and phoenix jade pendant, do we want our children and grandchildren to suffer such a crime? Yes, it was all the Mandarin Duck Sword Spectrum that harmed, and it was the dragon and phoenix jade pendant that killed Uncle Wu. I can't even protect my own relatives, how can I protect the dragon and phoenix jade pendant?"
