Taoist Master: I have a strange world

Chapter 119 The golden carp gives away the treasure, and the black sun covers the city

Zhang Ling never imagined that when he went to find the Wei family where Zhou Yuan's cousin lived, he heard that the Wei family was going to be executed.

Zhang Ling saw that the people were looking at him with doubts in their eyes, and he did not doubt whether this matter was true or false.

"I have nothing to do with the Wei family. I just have a fellow villager who heard about working for the Wei family, so I wanted to go and join him." Zhang Ling made an excuse.

"Then it's better not to look for it, unless you want to go to the prison to see it."

The commoner shook his head and said: "Tomorrow, the whole Wei family will be executed at the Caishikou by the river in Dongcheng."

After saying that, the common people left, as if they didn't want to stay by Zhang Ling's side for a moment.

Zhang Ling watched the common people leave. In the end, he didn't know where the Wei family was.

However, he has already received the key information. The Wei family is going to kill everyone, and there is no one in the family.

Logically speaking, everyone on the roadside knew that the Wei family was going to kill everyone, which meant that the news spread widely.

Obviously because of the reward, the waiter answered enthusiastically: "The Wei family was originally a big family in the city, but a few days ago, they did a huge mistake."

"I just entered the city and I heard that there will be a massacre at the vegetable market tomorrow. Do you know what's going on?"

The waiter enthusiastically welcomed Zhang Ling to a separate table, wiped the table hard, and asked, "What would you like to eat, sir?"

Zhang Ling smiled slightly.

He also sighed with emotion: "The Wei family is so bold that even the young Dragon Girl dares to touch them."

In the short time it took to serve the food, Zhang Ling had a preliminary understanding of the major forces in Linjiang City today.

Zhang Ling sat down and asked casually.

Zhang Ling was silent. According to the waiter, this Wei family had committed a heinous crime.

As he spoke, the waiter clicked his tongue and said, "In the Wei family, even the dogs they raise will be beheaded. There is no room for maneuver."

"The Wei family, the whole Linjiang City knows about it now." The waiter responded diligently.

"The Wei family deserves to die!"

"Here are two light things." Zhang Ling ordered two things casually, took out a medium-grade pearl coin and put it on the table.

Zhang Ling did not continue asking, and instead asked about the general composition of Linjiang City.

In this case, it should be easier to find out.

The waiter casually informed Zhang Ling of some basic conditions in Linjiang City.

The waiter in the shop explained the whole story clearly in a few words.

"One is the Yasha Li family, and the other is the Li family."

The waiter at the shop was extremely happy and thanked him profusely.

"Our Linjiang City is actually divided into two districts, each controlled by the two Li families!"

"Yaksha's Li family is in charge of the city in the water, while the other Li family is in charge of the other half of the city."

In Zhang Ling's heart, he was secretly glad that he silenced the Yaksha boy immediately after offending him.

"Okay, sir, please come this way."

"That's enough, that's enough. Normally, you can only eat a few pieces of low-grade pearl money." The waiter's eyes lit up when he saw Zhang Ling taking out the medium-grade pearl money.

Zhang Ling walked in directly.

Zhang Ling nodded and replied.

Even a waiter in the shop believed that the Wei family's death was not unjust, which shows how excessive what the Wei family did.

"After the incident, everyone in the Wei family was arrested. After some interrogation, it was decided to be interrogated tomorrow."

"If it's not enough, come back to me. If it's enough, you'll settle the matter later."

"You know, if the Nanjiang Dragon Clan gets angry, our Linjiang City will be flooded by the river at any time, and millions of people will not be able to survive."

"Now some aristocratic families in the city who are related to the Wei family are also trying to distance themselves from each other."

At the door, the waiter warmly greeted us: "Would you like to stay in a hotel or eat? The store has various guest rooms and various Nanjiang delicacies."

When the waiter in the store talked about the Yaksha Li family, Zhang Ling's expression did not change, as if he had never heard of it.

"In Nanjiang, the Nanjiang Dragon Clan is like heaven."

Listening to the waiter's tone, Zhang Ling was obviously filled with indignation, because some of it involved himself.

The waiter said: "Everyone knows about this. I heard that a young dragon girl from the Nanjiang Dragon Clan went out, but was framed by the Wei family."

"Trapping the Dragon Clan Dragon Girl..."

"Oh? I just came to Jiangcheng. What's going on with the Wei family?" Zhang Ling asked.

"Eat first, and if you're ready, stay."

Zhang Ling was walking on the street and soon saw a restaurant. There was also a hotel on the second floor. It was quite lively inside and there was even a shed outside where many people passed by to drink tea and chat.

Zhang Ling asked: "What a big mistake? What mistake?"

"That's fine. Five of the low-grade pearls will be considered your reward."

Otherwise, Zhang Ling would probably be unable to move around in this city now.

Soon, the food came. Zhang Ling took a few bites and left the restaurant.

Through the waiter's words, Zhang Ling knew the location of the Wei family.

When he went out at this time, he just wanted to visit Wei's house.

Although he knew that the whole Wei family was being imprisoned, Zhang Ling promised Zhou Yuanwai to help him find out the news about his cousin. If he didn't take a look in person, Zhang Ling would be sorry for his promise.

In this way, Zhang Ling, wearing a cloak and not attracting much attention, quietly arrived at the Wei family's location.

"Is this the Wei family?"

Zhang Ling was a little surprised because he found that the gates of the Wei family had been destroyed. The two broken doors were just open and the inside was in a mess.

It was just the plaque with the name 'Wei Mansion' on the door that made Zhang Ling confirm that this was the Wei family's place.

"It looks like it has been ransacked many times by many people. It is very messy."

Zhang Ling pretended to be passing by and took a look through the open door. It was messy inside, but he couldn't see anything valuable.

And there are no city guards around the Wei family, as if they can let people in and out.

Zhang Ling passed by the door of Wei's house, looked around and found that no one was paying attention to him.

He walked around the gate of Wei's house and found a high wall.

When there was no one around, Zhang Ling moved his feet, jumped up on the wall, climbed over the wall and fell into the courtyard of the Wei Mansion.

After entering the Wei family, Zhang Ling also wanted to see if there were any survivors and know the news about Zhou Yuan's cousin.

But after entering the Wei Mansion, Zhang Ling did not feel the breath of anyone.

"Crack!"

Zhang Ling took a step forward and looked back and forth in the Wei Mansion.

This Wei Mansion is quite large, with several courtyards in and out, but they are all empty.

In the room, even the valuable tables and chairs disappeared, as if many homeless people had come in and looted it.

There were still blood stains in some places, but no one was there.

"They were all taken away."

After Zhang Ling searched for it, he gave up completely and wanted to go instead: "It seems that I can only use the help of the five ghosts at night to meet the brother of Zhou Yuanwai, and I can live up to Zhou Yuanwai's request."

Zhang Ling said to himself that with such a plan, he was ready to leave the Wei Mansion.

But just as Zhang Ling turned around, the green leather gourd on his waist moved slightly.

"Ok?"

Zhang Ling was surprised, but immediately realized that the green leather gourd had changed, and it was not an accident.

"What did Qingpi Gourd feel?"

Zhang Ling once felt the strange movement of the green-skinned gourd. At that time, he had just transformed the "mountain" character into his magic power. After using it, the green-skinned gourd moved strangely.

So now, what does the strange movement of the green-skinned gourd mean?

Zhang Ling immediately lowered his hand and pressed it on the green gourd, and found that the green gourd was still moving slightly.

Zhang Ling poured mana into it and immediately realized why the green-skinned gourd was moving.

It's underground!

It seemed that there was something underground, which made the green gourd move strangely.

"Whatever can make this mountain treasure, the green-skin gourd, feel something. It must not be an ordinary thing."

Zhang Ling pondered and paced, wanting to check in the direction the green gourd was sensing.

At the moment, he continued to walk around the house and gradually found the direction of the green gourd's strange movement.

It was a well. When Zhang Ling came to the well, he immediately felt the changes in the green gourd becoming more obvious.

"There's something down here in the well!"

Zhang Ling pondered, but directly took out a modern flashlight from the green leather gourd.

Swish!

Under the strong flashlight, the well suddenly became brighter.

However, the light of the flashlight was somewhat refracted underneath, giving it the appearance of dripping water, which meant that this well was not a dry well, but that it still contained well water.

Zhang Ling pondered.

If it had been before, he might have been in a bit of trouble because he didn't have any way to get into the water.

But now, in Zhang Ling's green gourd, there is a water-dividing steel fork, which allows him to move in the water.

"Go down and see!"

After all, curiosity took over. Zhang Ling took out the water-dividing steel fork from the green leather gourd and held it in his hand.

Wow!

The next moment, Zhang Ling jumped into the well without hesitation.

"Pfft!"

When he fell into the well, there was a splashing sound.

The next moment, Zhang Ling's mana was injected into the water-dividing steel fork, and he immediately felt that the surrounding water flow could be controlled by himself.

Suddenly, there were some holes around Zhang Ling's body, and there was no water covering his body.

Instead, there are two streams of water, still controlled by Zhang Ling, under the water-dividing steel fork, helping Zhang Ling go underwater.

In this way, Zhang Ling fell towards the bottom of the water, looking for the direction where the green leather gourd was vibrating.

After a while, Zhang Ling estimated that he had dived dozens of meters, and then his eyes suddenly became clear, and it was no longer the wall of the well.

Zhang Ling opened his eyes and was able to see in the darkness under the water.

"Here."

Zhang Ling could feel that he fell into an underground river through the well.

He identified the direction and headed towards the direction prompted by the slight vibration of the green-skinned gourd.

There are no living creatures at the bottom of the water, and all that can be heard is the gurgling water.

After a while, the vibration of the green gourd became more and more obvious.

"just in front?"

Zhang Ling moved forward, but his eyes were completely dark.

Zhang Ling stretched out his hand and found that there were stones blocking his way, and there was no road ahead. But the strange movements of the green gourd cannot be faked.

"The thing that makes the green gourd move is right behind this boulder!"

Zhang Ling held a green leather gourd in one hand and a water-dividing steel fork in the other.

As soon as he had an idea, he raised his hand holding the green gourd and moved it towards the stone wall in front.

Swish!

The stone seemed to be an illusion, as Zhang Ling's body penetrated directly into it.

This is the escape ability that comes with the green leather gourd.

Zhang Ling escaped into the stone and walked forward, about ten feet away, before he felt that there was nothing in front of him, he was separated from the mountain stone, and he came to another space, and his eyes suddenly became brighter.

"Buzz!"

The green-skinned gourd trembled slightly, but pointed forward.

"This is……?"

Zhang Ling raised his eyes and saw a stone platform in front of him. The vibration of the green gourd was aimed at this stone platform.

"What kind of place is this? It turns out to be a space within a huge rock."

Zhang Ling looked at it and confirmed this.

There is a hollow in this stone with no way out.

If it weren't for the power of the escape stone contained in the green leather gourd, Zhang Ling would not be able to enter it.

The stone platform in front of me has artificial traces.

"Did someone else, who mastered the escape of mountains and rocks, build this place?"

Zhang Ling had a guess in his mind, and walked onto the stone platform at the same time. He immediately saw a pool of water on the stone platform with a radius of ten feet.

What caught Zhang Ling's attention was that in the small pond, there was a golden carp as big as the size of its tail, slowly swinging its body and swimming back and forth.

This carp is golden all over, and it is extraordinary. It is obviously a carp, but it has a sense of elegance.

"Is the green-skinned gourd moving strangely because of the golden carp?"

Zhang Ling saw that there was nothing else in the pond except this carp, but the green-skinned gourd was shocked.

This shows that the reason why the green-skinned gourd makes such movements is because of the carp.

Zhang Ling touched the green-skinned gourd and found that after he saw the golden carp, the green-skinned gourd stopped moving.

The carp in the pond slapped its tail in the water and turned to look at Zhang Ling. Its fish eyes were shining with light and emotion.

"Are you asking me for help?"

Zhang Ling felt this way, but he believed that what he felt was correct. From the eyes of the carp, he could see the meaning of asking for help.

Zhang Ling's eyes flickered and he looked at the carp.

But in front of his eyes, there was a ball of golden energy covering the opponent's body. It was unknown whether it was the light of the scales or the carp's own energy.

Fortunately, after looking at it this way, Zhang Ling believed that the carp was not dangerous.

"If you want to ask for help, come to me."

Zhang Ling stretched out his hand, a little above the pool, without being submerged in the water.

The golden carp seemed to understand. It twisted its body, slapped its tail suddenly in the pond, jumped up from it, and landed in Zhang Ling's hand with splashes of water.

"You are really asking me for help. Do you want to leave here?"

Zhang Ling took a look and saw that there was a hollow in the stone with no way in or out. It was impossible to get out except by using the escape method.

But the problem also followed.

Who put this little carp in?

Zhang Ling looked at the golden carp in his hand. This was the first time in his two worlds that he had seen this strange creature. It could make the mountain treasure green leather gourd move strangely, and it was still asking for help from him.

Zhang Ling pondered for a moment. He now believed that the green-skinned gourd had lured him here, which meant that the golden carp was destined to him.

Besides, since the golden carp asked for help, Zhang Ling couldn't pretend he didn't see it.

"I came down from the well of the Wei family to see you, and the Wei family wanted to kill everyone because they harmed the dragon girl. I hope this has nothing to do with you."

Zhang Ling muttered to himself, then pointed slightly at the water-dividing steel fork in his hand.

Some of the water in the pond suddenly rose up and fell into Zhang Ling's hands, enveloping the golden carp in it.

The little carp immediately started to swim. In the suspended water, its body did not fall down. It seemed to be quite interesting and swam around.

Zhang Ling held up such a ball of water wrapped around the small carp, turned around and left.

"Cuckoo."

The little carp opened its mouth and spit out a few bubbles.

Zhang Ling returned the same way, and with the help of the green-skinned gourd, he escaped directly over the rocks and returned to the underground river in the well.

"Go ahead."

Zhang Ling gently waved the water-dividing steel fork in his hand, and the water mass where the little carp was suddenly merged into the river, and it had to be free.

However, the little carp did not leave directly. Instead, it waved its tail, raised its body, and took the initiative to move towards Zhang Ling's hand.

"how?"

Zhang Ling was still a little confused, so he opened his hand.

"Goo."

The little carp opened his mouth, and a small bead spit out from his mouth and fell into Zhang Ling's palm.

Zhang Ling lowered his head and looked at his hand. There was a dense light inside the small bead, and there was a watery aura emanating from it.

Upon closer inspection, there seemed to be a mighty river floating inside, and Zhang Ling felt that several clouds in his body's magic power were shining because of this bead.

"This is……"

Even if Zhang Ling didn't recognize it, the shape of the little bead made Zhang Ling aware of its extraordinary nature.

Zhang Ling raised his head, wanting to see the little carp.

But as soon as he raised his head, in just a moment, the golden carp had disappeared without a trace, leaving Zhang Ling unaware at all.

"This……"

Zhang Ling took a slight breath, held the small bead in his hand, and could feel the water around him approaching him.

Zhang Ling put away the water-dividing steel fork, and the surrounding area was immediately covered with water.

But Zhang Ling didn't feel any discomfort when he was in the water. He could even breathe in the water with his mouth open.

"This bead..."

Zhang Ling had some guesses about the beads left by the little carp in his hand.

"What kind of existence is that little golden carp?"

"Because I took it out of the stone chamber and gave me such a treasure..."

Zhang Ling was thinking in the water, but he couldn't figure it out.

For such incomprehensible things, Zhang Ling did not understand carefully.

They come, the security.

Zhang Ling's feet moved. He was now in the water, feeling like a fish in water.

Not only can I breathe in the water, but I can even control the water flow around me.

From these alone, it can be seen that the beads are more magical than water steel forks.

Zhang Ling did not study carefully here, but returned the same way.

"Wow!"

Zhang Ling stretched out his body from the well. The bead was still in his hand, but he just had a thought.

A magical scene happened immediately. The water on his clothes turned into tiny droplets, which seemed to absorb an equal repulsive force and flowed out.

In an instant, Zhang Ling's clothes were dry without any water stains.

"Inexplicably, I saved a golden carp and got a treasure."

Zhang Ling also felt strange when he recalled that he had just become the manager.

Why does this kind of thing happen to yourself instead of others?

"It has something to do with this gourd."

Zhang Ling quickly realized the key. Without the green-skin gourd, he would not have been able to encounter this adventure.

In view of this, Zhang Ling also had some guesses about the origin of this bead.

"Qingyun Mountain God said that mountains have mountain treasures and water has water treasures."

"I'm afraid this bead is just like a mountain treasure, a treasure conceived in the river!"

Zhang Ling is three-thirds sure about this guess.

As for what the golden carp is... Zhang Ling can only guess that it is an existence like the God of Qingyun Mountain.

However, the other party is different from the Qingyun Mountain God. It is a physical existence, and it is quite immature, as if it is a newborn.

The next moment, Zhang Ling shook his head and didn't think about it anymore.

He has just climbed out of the well of the guard house and is not suitable to stay here anymore.

and……

Zhang Ling raised his head and glanced at the sky.

The sun in the west has almost disappeared, and there is darkness between heaven and earth.

"Dang! Dang! Dang!"

Suddenly, Zhang Ling heard a harsh sound of bells ringing outside.

Immediately afterwards, a sharp sound echoed in the city.

"At night~~Go back to the house~~Escape from the ghost~~"

The sharp sound was harsh, with a long tail.

Immediately afterwards, there was the sound of crackling and clanging doors.

"Such a big movement?"

Zhang Ling felt strange. He walked a few steps and came to a wall and jumped up.

As far as I could see, all the doors on both sides of the street were tightly closed, and even the windows did not let in any light.

The streets, which were quite lively when Zhang Ling arrived, were completely deserted.

Linjiang City in Nuoda seemed to have fallen into this strange silence all of a sudden.

Such a scene made Zhang Ling a little surprised.

"Is this what the waiter said, that at night, the city is silent?"

"It really calmed down all of a sudden. Is it true that there are evil spirits in the river running into the city?"

Zhang Ling looked towards the other side of the city.

However, they discovered that there was a strange shadow that was quickly covering the entire city.

"What is that?" Zhang Ling was surprised.
