Chapter 20 There’s Something Going On!
“What, two people actually came???”
“I was just about to listen to ghost stories, why did it suddenly change flavor!”
“Exactly, exactly, could it be that this incident of missing corpses was intentional?”
Listening to the story told by the bearded man, before their table could speak, another table interjected, very dissatisfied with how things had developed.
Although the people of Linfeng Kingdom were very afraid of ghosts and monsters, they could not resist curiosity and imagination.
Therefore, when everyone thought they would hear about ghosts and monsters, it turned out to be two people, which was really unpleasant!
Bad review!
“What do you know! Besides, I said from the beginning that the one who stole the body was a person, not a ghost… Wait, I haven’t explained it to you, what do you want now!”
“Brother Liu, don’t mind them, continue telling! What happened next, I’m so curious!”
Just as the bearded man was rolling up his sleeves to gesture, a young man with clear eyebrows suddenly tugged at the man’s arm, telling him not to forget the important matter.
Now, continuing to tell the story was the most important thing.
And when the man saw the young man’s curious expression, he was greatly satisfied, and did not really bother with the guests at other tables.
“Cough, cough, then I’ll continue.”
However, while the man was organizing his words, Gu Yu looked speechlessly at their table, admiring his brother-in-law’s ability to blend into the next table without being rejected!
Gu Qingheng, how can he talk so much!
Others didn’t notice, so they didn’t know, but Gu Yu kept staring at his brother-in-law, and then watched with his own eyes as Gu Qingheng chatted casually with the people at the next table, and the few people became like brothers from different mothers.
For this, when Gu Yu had to be impressed, Gu Mengyao also shook her head helplessly.
Sometimes, her younger brother was quite amazing…
“Picking up from the last chapter, Zhou Li saw that two people had sneaked into the mortuary. He immediately slowed his breathing, and with him hiding in the corner beforehand, it was impossible for anyone to discover him… The two people were also like that, only focusing on panting as they carried a rotting corpse out.”
“After these two body thieves left the mortuary, Zhou Li originally wanted to follow them out to see where they were going, but when he saw that there were still corpses in the mortuary, he suddenly had an inspiration, and continued to hide in place, making no move!”
“It was precisely because Zhou Li made no move that the two people came in again! However, this time, they did not immediately take the second corpse, but stopped to rest! At the same time, the two also spoke.”
When the bearded man said this, regardless of the complaints from others, he directly raised his hand and picked up the large bowl in front of him, and gulped down a bowl of tea, relieving his almost steaming throat.
Then, seeing that everyone around was listening attentively, his sense of satisfaction increased greatly, and he spoke with more vigor!
“I heard one of them say: ‘We have already stolen so many corpses, can we not open the sacred land?'”
Upon hearing this, Zhou Li’s interest was immediately piqued, and he prepared to listen to the other person’s words.
“‘The esteemed master’s command is not something you and I can speculate on. These corpses cannot feed the giant rotting tiger, so the sacred land cannot be opened!'”
“‘Alas, if the sacred land could be opened, the location of the treasure could be found! It’s a pity that all the iron lions of our lineage have been lost, otherwise it wouldn’t be so troublesome.'”
When Zhou Li heard the word “treasure,” his eyes immediately lit up, and he listened to the conversation between the two more seriously, wanting to get more information.”
After saying a long passage, the bearded man stopped.
And with this stop, the other listeners immediately became restless, not to stop halfway!
“Hey, why did you stop? I was listening intently!”
“Exactly, what happened next!”
“My God, it actually involves the sacred land and treasure, what on earth is going on!”
“Esteemed Master? I feel a little familiar, he must be a big figure who once dominated the martial world!”
Looking at everyone with a smile like an old father, the bearded man nodded in satisfaction, and then continued.
“Everyone, I don’t know what happened next! I only know that Zhou Li returned safely and received a large reward, enough for him to marry ten concubines.”
“Wait, Zhou Li did not catch the mastermind, how did he receive the reward!”
“Catch the mastermind? Just finding the source of the missing bodies is already very good. As for catching the mastermind, within another day, various parties will issue bounty missions.”
Upon hearing that there was also a bounty, everyone present’s hearts fluttered. The fear of ghosts and monsters had now vanished, replaced by a strong desire for the large reward.
Look at Zhou Li, he was just a little bit bolder, and he earned quite a lot.
If others can do it, so can they.
No one would go against silver.
“Brother-in-law, there’s something going on!”
“Mm, there are many people and it’s noisy here, don’t speak for now.”
At this moment, Gu Qingheng, who was originally sitting at the next table, suddenly returned, and then leaned over to Gu Yu’s ear and said something.
Gu Yu directly shook his head at Gu Qingheng, indicating that he already knew and it was best not to say more for now, to avoid any further trouble.
Originally, Gu Yu thought that the recent incident of missing corpses had nothing to do with them, but upon hearing about opening the sacred land, especially when the iron lions were mentioned later, Gu Yu immediately thought of the human bone treasure map they had obtained.
The body snatchers, like them, wanted to obtain the treasure marked in the treasure map!
However, unlike Gu Yu, these people found it very difficult to obtain the treasure map location.
Not as easy and simple as Gu Yu, after getting the iron lion, he directly let his super strong wife pry it open…
Well, without Gu Mengyao, obtaining the human bone treasure map would not be an easy task.
But luck is also a part of strength!
“Then… Brother-in-law, do we want to go to the mortuary tonight?”
“I said before, if you want to go and see, you can take Yi Dian Hong and the swordsman with you, I won’t stop you.”
“…”
Afterwards, when Gu Qingheng wanted to trick Gu Yu into exploring the mortuary together at night, Gu Yu smiled and refused.
What he said next left Gu Qingheng speechless, thinking how difficult it was to persuade his brother-in-law!
At this point, shouldn’t Brother-in-law be worried that that so-called Esteemed Master would also get the treasure map!!!
