Chapter 200: Mo Niansheng's reaction and the mysterious monk
Hearing Ye Yang say this, Bai Zizheng nodded.
"The leaders of these two families are heading to the market town. They will probably arrive in a few days. Since you can't come for a long time, you can take a look around in the next few days."
There is still some time before the Jiutian Auction starts, so Ye Yang is not in a hurry.
Tao'an Market is quite close to Taohuawu. Ye Yang thought of something and said, "Uncle Bai, have you seen Elder Mo during this period?"
Gu Xuan once handed him a blood-stained piece of cloth, saying that he should give it to Mo Niansheng. At that time, the Qinglian Mo family had been refusing to retreat from the territory of Feitianmen.
This period of time had just gradually subsided, and the two places were not far apart, so Ye Yang thought about going to Taohuawu to hand the things over to Mo Niansheng.
Bai Zizhen sighed.
"He is already nearing the end of his life, and now he has not seen anyone. When I first came to Tao'an Market, I went to look for him, but he never showed up."
"He must be feeling guilty!"
Hearing this, Ye Yang couldn't help but shudder, thinking of the old fox woman he had seen before.
Her tongue was cut off, her eyes gouged out, and her heart dug out, but she still did not die, but turned into an evil spirit.
There is also a love-hate relationship between Mo Niansheng and her.
That song is still vividly engraved in his memory.
Ye Yang said, "Uncle Bai, I wonder if Elder Mo had a Taoist partner when he was young."
Bai Zizhen said: "He is alone and has no Taoist partner. When he was young, he met a demon woman while traveling. Later, he seemed to have abandoned her and returned to Feitian Sect alone. Later, the woman came to find him."
Bai Zizhen showed a hint of reminiscence.
"Since then, he has stayed indoors and his hair turned white overnight."
Ye Yang was thoughtful. It seemed that something was involved here that was very hidden.
Otherwise, even old people like Bai Zizhen wouldn’t be unaware of it.
However, he didn't care about other people's private affairs. Now he just needed to hand the things over to Mo Niansheng.
After coming out from Bai Zizhen, Ye Yang pondered for a moment, then rode the Sun-Chasing Flying Turtle towards Taohuawu.
It is autumn now. The water in Taohuawu is clear and the stream in the mountain stream is gurgling.
Although there are no ten miles of peach blossoms, the high mountains and refreshing breezes are also a unique experience.
As soon as Ye Yang approached, a short and fat monk holding two swords came to greet him. It was the deacon Liu Qing who had greeted Ye Yang before.
When Liu Qing saw Ye Yang, his eyes narrowed with smile. He quickly bowed and welcomed Ye Yang into Taohuawu.
"Protector Ye, do you have any advice for me today?"
Ye Yang hesitated for a moment and said, "Has Elder Mo come out of retreat?"
Liu Qing shook his head, took out two bags of tea helplessly, and said: "Elder Mo has not been out during this period of time, and I didn't even find a chance to give him the tea you sent last time."
Those two bags of tea were what Ye Yang brought with him last time, made from scented tea and tea from the ancient sword and flower tea trees.
Seeing this, Ye Yang was thinking about how to give the thing to Mo Niansheng.
Just at this moment, a weak dry cough was heard from afar, and then a murderous aura filled the surroundings.
Ye Yang looked up and found that a skinny old man had appeared in front of him without him noticing.
His hair and beard were all white, but one could still see how handsome he was in his youth, except that he was now hunched over and looked terrible.
His blood was drained and his whole body was bent over, as if he was about to fall to the ground.
When Liu Qing saw Mo Niansheng appear, he was shocked. He didn't know how this ancestor who had not appeared for a long time suddenly appeared.
Liu Qing was startled when he saw the figure and hurriedly bowed.
"Deacon Liu Qing attends Elder Mo."
However, Mo Niansheng seemed not to have heard his words and did not take it seriously. Instead, he stared at Ye Yang with his eyes wide open.
Liu Qing looked at Ye Yang with a suspicious expression.
“Could it be because of Protector Ye that Elder Mo likes to show up?”
This Dharma Protector Ye is truly extraordinary. Even Elder Mo, who had disappeared as the sect leader, showed up because of him.
I don’t know when I can break through to the warrior level and earn the title of Dharma Protector.
Ye Yang had no idea about Liu Qing's thoughts. His scalp was numbing because of Mo Niansheng's stare.
After a long while, Mo Niansheng slowly spoke.
"Where is Dugu Gun?"
"This... junior doesn't know."
Nowadays, it is widely spread that Dugu Qiang was killed by the Mo family, but it is not known whether it is true or not.
He knew that the relationship between Mo Niansheng and Dugu Qiang was special, and he was afraid that Mo Niansheng would lose control of his emotions and do something stressful.
Therefore, I did not tell anyone about the news I heard from others.
Mo Niansheng's eyes were sharp: "No, you have something of his on you."
Ye Yang glanced at Liu Qing. Liu Qing got the message and immediately withdrew. Only Ye Yang and Mo Niansheng were left on the field.
Only then did Ye Yang slowly take out the blood-stained black cloth that Gu Xuan had handed to him.
"Elder Mo, the headmaster asked me to come and give this item to you. There are many different reports about Junior Brother Dugu, and I don't know whether it is true or not. I really don't know."
Seeing the blood-stained cloth, Mo Niansheng quickly reached out and took it hastily.
He thought of Dugu Qiang's face and felt heartbroken. His tears flowed out more uncontrollably, soaking a large area of his shirt on his chest.
"Qian'er...Qian'er, you finally survived." "It's father...Master who is sorry for you."
After a long while, Mo Niansheng controlled his emotions and said to Ye Yang
"When you go back, tell Junior Brother Gu that you are in trouble because of family matters. I will remember this kindness."
Ye Yang was about to speak when he found that there was no one in front of him.
The light and shadow changed, and Mo Niansheng, holding the black cloth that Gu Xuan gave him, disappeared.
Before he could give away the tea in his hand, the person disappeared. Ye Yang smiled bitterly and had to put the tea away again.
……
Over the next few days, everything went smoothly.
Two days ago, the leaders of the Wang and Chen families both came and expressed their willingness to rent the shop.
In the end, Ye Yang chose the Wang family as his partner.
This time, the Wang family was very sincere and specially exchanged six thousand spirit stones for six top-grade spirit stones, which were more convenient to carry.
After the two parties signed the contract under the witness of Bai Zizhen, Ye Yang calculated with his fingers and found that the time for the Jiutian Auction was not far away.
He took the six high-quality spirit stones he had received and returned to Shanhai City.
However, he did not expect that as soon as Ye Yang arrived in Shanhai City, he received an unexpected news.
The maid he had found at the Jiutian Auction House before had already found out the information about the owner behind the Time Sand.
After receiving the news, Ye Yang immediately transformed himself into a giant man and arrived at the auction.
When the maid saw Ye Yang, she bowed politely and said, "Senior, I have lived up to your trust. I finally found information about that person."
Even though Ye Yang was always calm, he couldn't help but show a hint of excitement on his face when he heard the news.
As soon as the maid saw a smile on Ye Yang's face, her tense nerves finally relaxed.
"Senior, tomorrow is the day for all the monks who have sent their items to come and confirm their belongings. The owner of the light sand will be wearing a black robe and a demon mask. You will know it at a glance."
Ye Yang nodded: "You have worked hard during this period, please accept these spirit stones first."
After finishing speaking, Ye Yang took out another pile of spirit stones.
The maid hesitated for a while, but finally couldn't resist the temptation and happily accepted it.
……
The next day, before dawn, Ye Yang stood at the door of the auction, staring at the monks coming and going, looking for his target.
It was not until noon that he saw a tall and thin monk wearing a demon mask and a black robe, walking towards him with a terrifying aura.
"That's the person."
Ye Yang's heart tightened and he looked ahead intently.
In order to avoid being exposed, he hid in a corner of a stone wall. He did not take action immediately, but let the man walk into the auction.
Because this person was wearing an evil ghost mask to conceal his aura, Ye Yang was unable to detect his strength, but he thought that since he could obtain such spiritual materials, he must be quite powerful.
Ye Yang waited patiently for more than an hour. After the man confirmed his auction items, he walked out of the auction.
Seeing this, Ye Yang hurriedly followed his footsteps.
The lucky red knife and the dragon bead on Ye Yang's body can conceal his own aura, making it impossible for others to detect his existence.
So he was very fast and didn't slow down at all.
However, this man was very cautious. He looked back as he walked out of Shanhai City, fearing that someone was following him.
About half a quarter of an hour later, he seemed to sense something and stopped at the foot of a mountain.
The man looked back and frowned slightly.
"Why do I feel uneasy today? Could it be that Master Uncle knows that I stole the treasure and is here to hunt me down?"
He hid on a giant tree, looked ahead, and mobilized his master to search for Dafa, but found no clues.
Seeing that the man was suspicious, Ye Yang quickly activated the Red Sword of Fortune to conceal his own breath.
Fortunately, this person didn't find anything.
……
The monk wearing the evil ghost mask frowned slightly: "Maybe it's my illusion."
After this thought came to his mind, he felt relieved and continued to run forward.
But before he had walked for long, he turned his head and shouted.
"Fellow Daoist He Fang, if you are so sneaky, you can come out."
But no one answered.
Seeing this, he relaxed.
"It seems that there is really no one here. I was just worrying too much."
Ye Yang could see all of this clearly from behind, and thought to himself that this man had a very sharp intuition and was even more cunning, as he had actually tried to test him several times.
Fortunately, he hid well enough, otherwise he would have been seen by this person if he had let down his guard.
Thinking of this, Ye Yang crouched on a big tree, being even more careful to conceal his breath.
For some reason, this person had a strong sense of anti-tracking and looked back countless times along the way.
He waited until it was getting dark and the red sun was setting in the west before he slowed down and reached the beach by the sea.
He moved his whole body and jumped into the ocean, stirring up a wave of white waves like a flying fish, and soon disappeared into the vast sea.
