Chapter 44 Ask, Natural Disasters and Blood Curse

After the old grand master Pang Ji heard Bai Yutang's words, the expression on his face was wonderful. He opened his mouth, and his face turned red and white, embarrassment, anger and surprise.In short, that expression made Zhan Zhao and Bao Zheng feel very happy and happy.

"Cough cough." After all, Bao Zheng still has status. Although he felt quite happy, he tried not to show it. He just coughed and brought everyone back to their senses.

"Uh..." Grand Master Pang also came back to his senses, looked at Pang Tong at the side, shook his head with a sigh, and said, "Your elder brother is not up to par, don't be as knowledgeable as him."

Pang Tong didn't say much, just nodded.

Zhan Zhao and Bai Yutang looked at each other, feeling that something was wrong. If Pang Tong and Pang Yu stood together, normal parents would look towards Pang Tong, not to mention that he was younger than Pang Yu and could do so much... ...But Taishi Pang obviously favors Pang Yu more, which is a bit strange.

Bai Yutang raised an eyebrow at Zhan Zhao——Cat, let me tell you, it's definitely not his own!

Zhan Zhao stroked his chin—what about Concubine Pang?Is it your own?

Bai Yutang opened his eyes wide - ah!This is the truth, right?

Zhan Zhao blinked—forget it, let's leave this matter alone.

Although others didn't quite understand the meaning conveyed between the eyebrows and eyes of the two, Grand Master Pang still glanced at it, feeling even more embarrassed, and said, "Uh...Baoxiang, that's about Yu'er."

"Don't worry, Grand Master." Bao Zheng reassured Pang Ji, "The Kaifeng Mansion will definitely do its best to investigate and find An Lehou."

"Okay, thank you, Mr. Bao." After Pang Ji finished speaking, he stood up and said goodbye. Bao Zheng sent him outside, Pang Tong sent him to the door, and Grand Master Pang got on the sedan chair and left.

"My lord, the Snake Eagle Sect seems to want to kill Pang Tong very much." Zhan Zhao told Bao Zheng everything that Kong Ba told him.

Bao Zheng frowned and said, "This is indeed a bit strange."

"That's not really weird." Bai Yutang said, "That wizard said something like God's punishment is coming, we all have to die, that's not weird."

"God's punishment?" Gongsun was a little surprised, "What is God's punishment?"

Bai Yutang and Zhan Zhao shrugged, indicating they didn't know.

Bao Zheng asked Wang Chao Mahan to bring the wizard up and asked him about the scourge, but the wizard was just talking nonsense about what the scourge was, everyone ran, and he couldn't explain why. .

Bai Yutang was quite annoyed when he heard that, so he gave Zhan Zhao a hand and said, "Let's go, Maoer, let's look for other clues."

Pang Tong was a little surprised, looked at the two of them, "Do you two have a clue?"

Bai Yutang and Zhan Zhao looked at each other, smiled, and said, "The people of the Jianghu naturally have their own way." After finishing speaking, he said goodbye to Bao Zheng and Gongsun Ce, and left the gate of Kaifeng Mansion together.

"Hello." Zhan Zhao patted Bai Yutang and asked, "Who do you want to ask?"

Bai Yutang thought for a while, and said, "Ask that old man Mo Kongkong, there's a lot of news about it, and the Snake Eagle Sect and Mohua Palace made things so big this time, I don't believe there is really an impenetrable wall in the world? "

Zhan Zhao thought for a while and thought it made sense, so he nodded, and the two of them left the gate of Kaifeng Mansion together.

In a corner of Dongnan Street in Kaifeng, there is a big restaurant, the building is very lively with people coming and going, not because the food in this restaurant is so good, but because there are gambling tables on every floor, diners can Eat and gamble.

Beside a poker table on the second floor, there was a short old man with a dark complexion, white hair and beard, and wrinkled face.But regardless of his age, he is still in good spirits, lying at the gambling table with young people while gambling and yelling.

Just as he was having a good time gambling, the old man suddenly felt someone tap him on the shoulder.

The old man waved his hand and said without looking back, "Oh, don't mess with me, I'm lucky!"

While talking, the Pai Gow opened. The old man saw that he had lost all his money and was furious. He took out another ingot of silver from his pocket, put it on the table, and shouted, "I'm betting my wealth and life on this one!" Already!"

The dealer opened the cards, and the old man stared with his eyes wide open, feeling another slap on the back.

The old man didn't respond, and at this time the cards were drawn... and he lost everything again.

"Grandma!" The old man rushed to his head immediately, yelled and turned around to curse, "Whoever slapped me on the back, took away my luck!"

Turning around, the old man wanted to teach the people behind him a lesson, but when he took a closer look, he saw a man in white standing in front of him, holding a white knife with silver light in his hand, with a smile on his mouth, he was so pretty, it's a pity That smile looked creepy.

The old man gasped, turned around and ran away with a "Mother hello".

The one standing behind him was none other than Bai Yutang. Seeing that the old man wanted to run away, Bai Yutang grabbed his clothes, but the clothes on the old man's back seemed to be movable. Bai Yutang picked it off like a tortoise shell, and then saw the old man slip under the table with a "squeak". If you catch up, run down quickly.

When Bai Yutang saw him running downstairs, he didn't chase after him, but walked there slowly.

The old man ran down while looking back, and when he turned sharply, he saw a man in blue leaning on the handrail at the stairway, holding an ancient black sword in his hand, looking at him with a smile.

"Oh my god..." The old man's face turned pale, and he wanted to run back, but behind him Bai Yutang had already wobbled down the stairs.

"Mo Kongkong." Zhan Zhao smiled at him, "Why are you running?"

"Hey..." Mo Kongkong stretched out his hand to touch his head, and said, "Isn't this Mr. Zhan... so free to try your luck?"

Bai Yutang came up from behind... "You're not feeling very lucky today."

"Hehe...Fifth Master." Mo Kongkong said with a dry smile, "Recently, I've been holding my back... You two are all red, don't let my bad luck bring you down, I'll be leaving first... There will be a later date."

Just about to leave, Zhan Zhao blocked him, and said with a smile, "Don't worry, I have something to ask you."

"Ah?" Mo Kongkong muttered in a low voice with a mournful face, "Old man, I'm deaf and dazzled, I don't know much, oops..."

Before he finished speaking, Bai Yutang grabbed the back of his neck, pulled him out of the restaurant, and dragged him into the back alley.

Being thrown into the alley by Bai Yutang, Mo Kongkong raised his head and saw Bai Yutang and Zhan Zhao standing on the left and right. He said with a bitter face, "Masters, you two, because of my age, Get around me."

Bai Yutang frowned, glared at him, and said, "Stop talking nonsense, I have something to ask you."

The old man sighed and said, "What are you asking?"

"Snake Eagle Cult." Zhan Zhao simply said three words.

The old man frowned and quickly shook his head, "I don't know."

Zhan Zhao looked at him and said, "Mo Kongkong, I'm asking you seriously, don't interrupt, tell the truth.

"Uh..." Mo Kongkong sighed, looked left and right, then lowered his voice and said, "My lords, the Snake Eagle School is not easy to provoke, you two are unrivaled in martial arts, and my old man is just like that." , You will lose your life if you talk nonsense."

"Oh." Bai Yutang sneered, "Are you afraid that the Snake Eagle Sect will kill you, or that I will kill you?"

"Uh..." The old man's head was sweating, and he looked at Bai Yutang pitifully, "Fifth Master, don't be kidding me, I'm old enough to be scared."

"Mo Kongkong, you know too much. Sooner or later someone will deal with you." Zhan Zhao smiled slightly, "Why don't you cooperate with us, in the future you will be chased to nowhere, and we can help you."

"Are you serious?" Mo Kongkong thought the deal was pretty good.

"Who is the leader of the Snake Eagle Sect?" Bai Yutang asked him, "Do you know anything about the scourge?"

Mo Kongkong was taken aback when he heard the word "Soul of God", looked up at the two of them, and asked, "Where did you two hear the word "Soul of God?"

"You don't care so much, just tell me if you know it or not?" Zhan Zhao urged, "Say it or not, and if you don't tell me, don't hang around in Kaifeng in the future. I'll catch you every time I see you."

"Alas..." The old man quickly waved his hands and said to himself, "Why are young people these days so arrogant, bullying old people..."

Before he finished speaking, he saw Bai Yutang and Zhan Zhao's impatient expressions on their faces, so he could only say, "It's fine if I say it, but this matter is very important. I might be in danger if I say it. Anyway, I will offend the Snake Eagle Sect." People are sure, two masters, you have to keep me."

Bai Yutang thought for a while, and said, "Don't worry, I will hide you in a safe place, and I will release you when the matter is over."

"That's fine, you will be responsible for my food and drink in this short period of time!" the old man bargained.

Zhan Zhao looked at Bai Yutang, and Bai Yutang smiled and said to the old man, "How about this, I will make a hole in your chest, so you won't feel hungry anymore."

"Uh..." The old man turned pale and said, "Fifth Master, don't scare the old man... I'll just say it."

Zhan Zhao nodded at the side, signaling him to speak quickly.

"It's a long story. The Snake Eagle Cult has always been quite mysterious. I haven't heard much about it, but I do know that their leader is a descendant of the Eagle Man who can curse."

"There is such a thing as Yingman?" Bai Yutang was surprised.

"Who knows." The old man shrugged. "This guy has his own way. The Snake Eagle Cult doesn't meddle in Jianghu affairs too much. As for the scourge, it's just a Jianghu legend."

"Huh?" Zhan Zhao and Bai Yutang looked at each other, "What kind of legend?"

"It is said that the scourge of God is the four disasters." The old man thought for a while, and said, "I heard from some old people that there was such a scourge of God about hundreds of years ago. It was really a sudden change at that time. Four months, the first month is a natural disaster, that is, strong winds, hailstorms, floods, lightning, lightning and thunder."

Zhan Zhao and Bai Yutang looked at each other, as if they had heard about a time when the weather was abnormal for a month, and then both the Yellow River and the Yangtze River flooded, and it also caught up with the severe cold in winter, and many people froze to death.

"The second plague is the plague of insects." The old man shook his head and said, "The five poisons crawled out of the ground to cause harm to the world. Snakes, insects, rats and ants are all over the place, eating all the food, and diseases are also rampant among humans and animals. .”

"What about the third and fourth disasters?" Zhan Zhao and Bai Yutang asked at the same time.

"That's a famine disaster." Mo Kongkong shook his head and said, "Insects eat all the food, so people naturally have nothing to eat. When the bark and grass roots are gone, people will have to eat people. "

"The fourth disaster?" Bai Yutang asked him, "Zhan Luan?"

"That's right." The old man nodded, "At that time, people couldn't survive anymore, so wouldn't they be rebellious? And the emperor was still stupid at that time, so it's just right to change the dynasty."

"Hmm..." Zhan Zhao stroked his chin and said, "Actually, these four disasters are consecutive. If there is a cause, there must be an effect. If the weather is bad, and there are many natural disasters, there will inevitably be insect plagues and famine... But if you provoke If there is a war, the world will be in chaos."

"It's just why this month's abnormal weather happened?" Bai Yutang asked, "Is it caused by a curse?"

The old man nodded and said, "I just heard that there is such a powerful curse passed down from generation to generation by the Eagles. If all the wizards cast the curse together... how many wizards' lives can be collected, and the power of those wizards will be exhausted?" Blood can call out natural disasters, this thing is called a blood curse."

Zhan Zhao and Bai Yutang looked at each other—a blood curse?
