After becoming a master, he was cheated by the master

Chapter 6 The Su Family
The leader was dejected after being treated like this by Shen Yao, and said, "Looking at the way you and this little brother are dressed, they should be cultivators of immortality, but I still don't recommend that you go to Liangcheng."

"Oh?" Shen Yao raised his eyebrows, "Why don't you suggest going?"

"What you don't know is that since the incident in Liangcheng, many immortals have come here to try to investigate, but most of them have never returned." The leader still seemed a little scared when he thought about it now, "Liangcheng is too scary now. If we hadn’t escaped early, we would have died in that city!”

Shen Yao narrowed his eyes slightly. It seemed that this was indeed not an easy way to live, but it was also true that such a generous reward would be given as soon as the boss said it would be given, and the pie in the sky would not be free.But isn’t there someone ready in front of me who can ask questions?Thinking about this, her voice lowered a little, "Where do you live?"

"We will live on this mountain. If the immortal doesn't mind, we can take you there." The leader became a little embarrassed, "There is really nothing to eat on the mountain. We have eaten all the things we brought, so we came up with this strategy. This is our first time grabbing something."

Shen Yao glanced at the leader with an unclear expression, but he didn't expose his lie. From the restrictions, he should be able to detect that this was a monk. This was the first time he dared to rob him?Who believes it?But she still nodded, "You can go over and have a look."

So the leader took Shen Yao, Xie Mo and his younger brothers up the mountain as if they were granted amnesty. During the process, he did not forget to inform Shen Yao of the current situation in Liangcheng.

According to the leader, the trouble here broke out a few months ago. It started as a strange plague in the city. People's cheeks developed pus-filled bulges, which would then spread at an extremely fast speed. When the plague spreads all over the body, people infected with the plague will start to have a high fever after the pustules cover the whole body. They will fall into a coma and lose consciousness for a short time. When they wake up again, they will bite people everywhere with red eyes.

"How did you get out? As far as I know, this kind of plague should require the city to be closed down, right?" Shen Yao asked with squinted eyes while observing the surrounding terrain. The location of this mountain is really good, with such twists and turns. , if you are not familiar with it, you will probably get lost in this place very quickly.

"You are right. We live in a small village on the outskirts of the city." The leader sighed, "When we heard that someone in the city started biting people like dogs, we discussed running away. Just one day after we escaped, the city lord ordered the city to be closed. We are not allowed to leave the city. We left in a hurry and didn't bring enough food and clothes. We will start when we run out of ammunition." Looking at Shen Yao's face that seemed to be smiling but not smiling, I realized that I had inadvertently let something slip, so I lowered my head and stopped talking.

"Continue." Shen Yao didn't care about the leader's sudden silence, "According to what you said, where is the city lord? He didn't leave the city?"

"They should still be in the city..." the leader thought for a moment, and then a clear female voice called "Zhang Da". The leader snorted and smiled sheepishly, "We're here."

What you saw was a cave, with several old, young, women and children huddled inside. The woman who just spoke was collecting water in a small wooden basin. She saw her husband and his friend coming with a noble woman and a young boy. Questioned, but did not speak.

So Shen Yao took the initiative to introduce, "We were ordered by the sect to investigate the internal situation in Liangcheng. We met Brother Zhang at the foot of the mountain and asked some questions. We also heard that you seemed to have no food. , I came here to take a look... and give you some things." Shen Yao gestured to Xie Mo to take a bag of white rice from the storage bag and give it to them. She still understood this principle because they had to spend money in advance.

The woman rubbed her hands and looked at the rice with some eagerness, but she did not rush to come up. Instead, she glanced at her husband and saw him nodding before coming to take it, "How can you be so embarrassed?"

"It's okay. I just want to ask you some more detailed questions. I'd rather trouble you." Shen Yao smiled, watched the woman move the rice and put it in the corner for the old lady inside to cook before leaving. Come here, "What do you want to ask?"

Although the basic situation has been asked, some detailed questions still need to be asked, so Shen Yao spoke, "Do you know the internal situation of Liangcheng? Who is the lord of the city, the history of Liangcheng, etc." The woman thought for a moment. Thinking, “I know something about this.”

Liangcheng is a medium-sized city with a long history. It is said to be hundreds of years old.

"The Su family has always been the city lords of Liangcheng. This can be traced back to the time when Liangcheng was used as a battlefield. At that time, Liangcheng had not yet been established." The woman said, "You should also know that many battles broke out in this place at that time. , it was the Su family who established Liangcheng after setting up an army to suppress it. According to popular expectations, the Su family became the city lords. It has continued like this."

"Yes." Shen Yao nodded, indicating to Xie Mo to record it, and then asked the woman to continue speaking. She smiled a little cautiously, "Zhang Da and I moved here later, so I'm not particularly sure about the details."

"No problem." Shen Yao looked at the woman's expression and saw that she had nothing to hide, so he stopped asking about history and the like, "Are there any signs before this plague starts?"

"A sign?" The woman was stunned for a moment, as if she was thinking about it, "Probably not...but during that time there was an inexplicable heavy fog in the city, and then the Su family began to post documents in the city asking everyone not to burn more firewood. It was said that someone burned firewood and set the house on fire. It didn’t take long for the plague to start.”

Shen Yao didn't speak anymore. The woman waited for a while and then went about her own business when she didn't see her asking questions again. Xie Mo hesitated for a few seconds and said, "Master, do you have any clues?"

"...The Su family." Shen Yao lowered his head and pondered. The Su family must be related to this matter, and it plays a very important role, but it is still unknown which party it is involved in.

"Exalted Immortal, are you strictly fasting?" The woman brought over two bowls of porridge, which contained chopped wild vegetables and stewed white rice. "Eat something."

Shen Yao took it and put it aside and continued to meditate. Xie Mo saw that his master had no desire to talk, so he said to the woman, "We will eat later, you go and do yourselves first."

The woman nodded and was about to turn around. Shen Yao suddenly stopped her, with a smile on her face, "Thank you, girl. What do you call her?"

"Ah, just call me A Yue." A Yue replied, "I won't disturb you if you are busy with your work, Immortal Lord. Thank you for the food today."

Shen Yao looked at A Yue who was leaving, and then at the fragrant vegetable porridge beside him. He thought for two seconds, then picked it up and put it to his mouth.

"It's a little hot," she said.
