Supreme Space Puppet Master

Chapter 137 Presumptuous Question

Liuya had already returned to the old man's arms, hearing Jiang Xiaoli's words, the old man subconsciously hugged the little girl in his arms tightly.

He glanced back and forth at the four people in front of him. Hua Meng had a vicious look, Hua Nian was fooling around, and Nai Dong was icy. Finally, he set his eyes on Jiang Xiaoli, and said cautiously, "Mysterious Elder, please Said, if the little old man knew something, he would not dare to deceive the fairy elder."

"Don't be nervous, old man." Jiang Xiaoli said, "We just want to ask, where are all the young people in the village?"

Jiang Xiaoli didn't ask where to find water as soon as he came up, although the purpose of their trip was to find a usable water source.

Because in other places, Jiang Xiaoli's question may not be abrupt, but in Luoyuan where there is such a shortage of water, Jiang Xiaoli's question has to be said to be a bit sensitive, so Jiang Xiaoli said this question before.

Moreover, what Jiang Xiaoli was even more curious about at this time was why all the people in the village hid just now, why the village was almost full of old people and children, and where did the young people who were supposed to be the pillars of the village go? ?
Sure enough, the old man was in a dilemma for a while, and he still said: "Everyone, to be honest, the young people in the village have all been expropriated."

"Expropriation?" Hua Meng asked strangely, "Where did they all go, and why did you hide just now?"

The old man touched Liu Ya's head, sighed and said: "They all went to the old city of Luoyuan, and I heard that they were going to work on the construction site, but the little old man didn't know what they were going to do, many young people People go, but they never come back."

The old man wiped away his tears, Liu Ya also buried himself in Grandpa's arms, Jiang Xiaoli and the others were silent for a while, Hua Meng frowned and said, "Can't you come back?"

The old man said, "They are all dead."

Hua Nian was surprised: "Then why do young people go? Isn't this going to die?"

The old man was even more sad, and said in a hoarse voice: "But if you don't go, everyone will have no water to drink. Liuya's parents signed up by themselves, because there is only Liuya left in the family. "

six?

six……

Doesn't that mean that the family has already lost five children due to water...

Hua Meng handed the bowl to his mouth, and his mouth, which was just a little dry, became astringent at this moment, and he couldn't drink the water no matter what.

Hua Meng glanced at the water in his hand, and said in embarrassment: "These water..." It seemed that the water was no longer water, but blood.

The old man wiped away the tears from his face, forced a smile and said: "Look at what the little old man said, please use it, all the elders."

Hua Meng put the bowl on the table and shouted: "Oh, forget it, I'm not very thirsty either."

However, everyone didn't expect a trace of fear to flash across the old man's face, and even Liu Ya buried herself deeper in her grandfather's arms.

Jiang Xiaoli glanced at Hua Meng, Hua Meng patted his head, Jiang Xiaoli frowned lightly and said, "Such a big Luo Yuan, can we only get drinking water by going to the construction site in the old city? "

The words Jiang Xiaoli said made everyone silent. Before coming to Luoyuan, they knew that Luoyuan was very desolate, but no one thought that the situation in Luoyuan was so bad.

The old man glanced at Hua Meng with some fear, saw Jiang Xiaoli's gentle expression, and then said: "Don't blame the elder, the little old man was full of nonsense just now, and the little old man didn't mean to disrespect Qiu Rong Xianzun, please everyone Don't take it to heart, Elder Immortal."

Hua Meng said: "You old man speaks really strangely, don't yell one by one, I'm not used to it."

Although Hua Meng felt that this title was a bit new at first, but the old man's tone was obviously afraid of the fairy elder, which made people not happy.

"Yes, old man." Jiang Xiaoli said with a smile: "Old man, have you misunderstood something, and who is Qiurong Xianzun?"

Liu Ya poked her head out of her grandfather's arms, and the old man also asked strangely, "You...don't know?"

"I really don't know." Jiang Xiaoli shook his head lightly, Hua Nian said with a smile: "I forgot to tell the old man, we just came from the Holy Capital, and we are really not familiar with Luo Yuan, and what's more, What Qiurong Immortal Venerable, how dare someone call themselves an Immortal Venerable these days, it's ridiculous."

The old man hurriedly took a look at the door, and hurriedly told Liu Ya to close the door, and then said: "No, no, this fairy elder, don't talk like that, it's not good for people to overhear."

Hua Meng said: "Oh, don't call us fairy elders."

The old man shrank his neck subconsciously when Hua Meng yelled at him, Jiang Xiaoli said: "Old man, you don't need to talk to him, just keep talking."

The old man nodded and said, "Since everyone... said they came from the Holy Capital, then the little old man will believe you."

The old man glanced around and said in a low voice: "The ancestors have said for generations that Luoyuan was abandoned by the immortals, so there is black air in the water. If you drink too much of this water, the toxins accumulate in the body for a long time, and it is easy to get all over the body. Turn black, and finally fester and die."

When everyone heard this, they subconsciously made up their minds and shuddered.

Jiang Xiaoli knew that the black energy was demonic energy, and heard the old man continue to say: "Until 100 years ago, a fairy came to Luoyuan, and it was because of her that everyone could drink clean water."

Hua Nian said: "Is this the Qiu Rong you mentioned?"

The old man nodded.

"That's not right." Hua Meng touched his head and said, "Then, everyone should thank this self-proclaimed Immortal Venerable, so why did your tone just now be full of fear for this Qiurong Immortal Venerable?"

The old man took a deep breath and said: "Xian... uh, you only know one thing and don't know the other. Although the original Luoyuan is also dry, you can still find some usable springs after all, but since the arrival of Qiurong Xianzun , those springs dried up almost overnight."

"Furthermore, this Luoyuan city has been under construction for almost 100 years, but people are still being arrested everywhere to build it. Just now, the little old man led the villagers to hide for this reason."

Hua Nian came to a sudden, "When you said that, I remembered something was wrong, Xiao Li, what are you talking about Qiu Rong looking for so many mortals? Is it really to build a city?"

Hua Meng also said: "Yes, in fact, many things are just a matter of effort for a cultivator. This Qiurong wants to build a city, why bother to find ordinary people, and these people will not come back in the end..."

"This matter is really weird." Jiang Xiaoli thought for a while and said, "And when the monk named Qiurong came, all the springs in Luoyuan dried up almost overnight, and there was only Qiurong in Luoyuan. How can it be such a coincidence that there is drinking water in hand."

"Yes." Hua Nian nodded, stood up and said, "So it's hard for people not to suspect that all this is Qiu Rong's fault."

Hua Meng said: "Yes, this person who claims to be the Immortal Venerable first occupied the water source, and then made people work for him. If our guess is correct, then this person is too hurt."
