After listening to the Wu family's explanation, Nangong Yun roughly understood the situation in Sand Dune Town.
However, he did not expect that in this border area of the Western Region, cultivators could be so lawless.
Then, he asked the Wu family.
"Do the guys from Black Wind Mountain often come to the town to rob?"
The Wu family said with a grimace.
"That's not true. When they came to Shaqiu Town half a year ago, we thought they were passers-by and didn't pay any attention. Later, their leader Wu Laosan found Mr. Liu, who was in charge of our town, and said he wanted to recruit some Young people go and help them build a stronghold."
At this point, the Wu family looked a little angry and continued.
"They agreed at the beginning to ask Mr. Liu to help find some people. After helping them build the stronghold, everyone will receive a reward."
Nangong Yun saw the look on the Wu family's face and thought that those guys would wait for the people in the town to help them build the stockade and then refuse to pay them, so he asked immediately.
"Did they deceive you and not pay you?"
The Wu family sighed, pulled the long wooden stool beside them to the table, sat down and talked with Nangong Yun in detail.
"Sir, you don't know something. Everyone was very happy to hear that there was money to be made, so Mr. Liu helped them find dozens of young people in the town and followed Wu Laosan to Heifeng Mountain to build a stockade. However, no one expected that these dozens of people would never come back since they went to Black Wind Mountain."
Nangong Yun felt a little puzzled after hearing this.
"Did something happen to these dozens of people?"
"Everyone was so skeptical at first, but now it seems that it is probably true!"
"Oh, aren't they still uncertain about their life or death?"
"Yes, because a few days later, Wu Laosan came to the town to find Liu Lao again, saying that there was not enough manpower and asked him to find more manpower. Everyone thought that the village to be built was relatively large, with dozens of people. We didn't have enough hands, so hundreds of people followed us, but the result was the same, none of them came back."
After hearing this, Nangong Yun felt a vague premonition in his heart.
"Then have you ever gone to find them?"
"Yes, at first we thought it was because we were too busy building the stockade, so the people who went there lived in Black Wind Mountain to work. However, after more than a month, none of the people who went there came back. .”
As the Wu family spoke, they clenched their fists unconsciously.
"After such a long time, no one came back. Everyone felt something was strange. Mr. Liu took people to Heifeng Mountain to ask Wu Laosan. However, when we saw Wu Laosan, he told us that before Everyone in the town asked them to be sent elsewhere to build camps.”
"Didn't they say where it was sent?"
Nangong Yun frowned, realizing that this matter was definitely not simple.
"I didn't say anything. Moreover, Wu Laosan warned us that we are not allowed to go to Heifeng Village anymore. At that time, a few people were so angry that they went up to Wu Laosan to ask for help, but no one expected that Wu Laosan would say anything. Without saying anything, he suddenly took action and beat those people to death on the spot."
The Wu family's eyes turned red as he said this. Obviously, among the people who were killed were his friends or relatives.
However, this Wu Laosan was too domineering, how could he beat someone to death without any explanation.
When Nangong Yun heard this, he was quite angry. Practitioners like Wu Laosan were simply inhumane!
The Wu family reached out and rubbed his eyes to prevent tears from flowing out, but the expression on his face became even more angry, and he continued.
"Among the people who were beaten to death was my uncle Wu Lie. After Wu Laosan killed someone, everyone was frightened by him. No one dared to ask for his life anymore. I pity my biological brother. Wu Xing is still missing, and after we come back, we place our hopes on Tianjian Mountain, which has been protecting our Dune Town."
"Did Jianshan send anyone that day?"
Nangong Yun couldn't bear to ask. He could feel the grief in the hearts of the Wu family at this moment. However, in the end, they were just a bunch of ordinary people. They were powerless against a cultivator like Wu Laosan.
I saw the Wu family saying with a resentful expression at this time.
"No, the people we sent to ask for help from Tianjian Sect couldn't even enter the mountain gate of Tianjian Mountain. Their disciple guarding the mountain said that he has never heard of Sand Dune Town. They can just look for the missing people by themselves. They don't have time. Never mind such trivial matters.”
"It seems that the people in charge of Tianjian Sect don't know anything about the situation here."
Nangong Yun said with a sigh.
"But they didn't even bother to send a disciple from the mountain sect to investigate. It's really in vain that we have to pay money and materials to their Tianjian Mountain every year."
Although Nangong Yun prefers to believe that the Tianjian Sect is a force that maintains the stable life of the people in the Western Region, he is a little disappointed that they have such a cold attitude towards the lives of the people within their sphere of influence.
Of course, maybe the real senior officials of Tianjian Sect don’t know what is happening here.
Immediately, Nangong Yun asked the Wu family again.
"When I just passed through the streets of the town, I found that the town was sparsely populated. Could it be that they all fled because of Black Wind Mountain?"
"Well, everyone in the town who has relatives in other places has fled, and there are even fewer people left. Even the caravans that would occasionally pass by don't dare to leave here anymore. So, Sand Dune Town It just became more desolate.”
Nangong Yun now understood the situation in Sand Dune Town. He took a look at the Wu family and felt that this simple man was quite sincere at heart. He was touched by being so honest in front of a foreigner like him.
Perhaps, as ordinary people, when they encounter something they cannot face, they will feel better if they can find someone to talk to.
Although Nangong Yun didn't know the situation on the other side of Black Wind Mountain, he secretly made up his mind to go to Black Wind Mountain.
Because the appearance of the Wu family and the situation in Sand Dune Town reminded him of what Wu Tianfang said about his own life experience when he was in the palace.
At that time, Gaojiabao in Nanjun also encountered enemies they could not face. In the end, the entire village was massacred!
Nangong Yun could imagine how desperate and helpless the innocent people in Gaojiabao felt when they died tragically.
Therefore, when Nangong Yun heard all this from the Wu family, he had already made up his mind and would definitely help them find out the matter.
As for Black Wind Village, of course there is no need to exist!
The Wu family realized that they had lost their composure. Why did he suddenly talk so much to a stranger? Then he calmed down and said to Nangong Yun.
"Objective, I'm sorry for letting you listen to my nagging here for a long time. But, Master, you must be from out of town. Nowadays, Dune Town is not peaceful. Master, after eating, rest for the night and leave early tomorrow. .”
Nangong Yun said to Wu Jiawu with a smile.
"Boss Wu, your food is delicious. I want to stay and eat more. Aren't you willing to make more money?"
The Wu family also smiled bitterly.
"Little brother, stop joking. You look like a wealthy and distinguished young man. Why did you come to this remote sand dune town?"
"Haha, I was entrusted by a friend to come to the Western Region to do something."
"Oh I got it."
The Wu family just kindly reminded Nangong Yun. He didn't want this young man to get into trouble here. Maybe Nangong Yun reminded him of his biological brother. They were both about the same age.
However, the Wu family did not know that his kind reminder strengthened Nangong Yun's determination to help him.
Nangong Yun's seemingly casual answer actually revealed his true feelings unconsciously.
Yes, he did come to the Western Region to do something, but it was not just because he was entrusted by others, he was now on the same level as the Wanxiang Sect, and they were incompatible with each other!
However, it is obviously impossible for him to be an enemy of the entire Wanxiang Sect.
Therefore, he wants to find help, or in other words, he wants to use a force that is as powerful as the Wanxiang Sect, and that force can only be the Tianjian Sect!
Nangong Yun thought that more than half a year ago, he had an appointment with Lan Hao, a disciple of the Tianjian Sect in the Medical Immortal Valley. If one day, the Wanxiang Sect was to be eliminated, then they would act together.
Nangong Yun admires Lan Hao's courage, and at the same time he also believes in Lan Hao's promise. Nangong Yun believes that Lan Hao is definitely the kind of true hero who makes a promise and is hard to follow.
However, now that he is alone, it seems a bit difficult to force Lan Hao to go against the Wanxiang Sect with him.
Immediately, Nangong Yun spoke to the Wu family.
"Maybe I can do something for you."
When the Wu family first heard Nangong Yun say that he wanted to help him, they thought they had heard wrongly and asked quickly.
"What did the young master say?"
Nangong Yun smiled and repeated what he just said.
"I said, I can help you. I have a friend who is a cultivator and has almost reached the seventh level of Yuanhun. As long as I explain the situation here to him, I think he will be willing to help. "
Nangong Yun just made up a friend casually, but he did not deceive the Wu family.
The Wu family heard clearly this time. He heard every word of Nangong Yun's words clearly. Then he stood up excitedly and hurriedly walked to Nangong Yun's side, about to kneel down.
However, the Wu family felt that their knees were being pressed against something, and they could not squat even half an inch.
The Wu family looked down and saw that it was Nangong Yun who used his calves to block his knees that he couldn't help but want to kneel down.
Wu's face was filled with gratitude. Although he saw the young man in front of him for the first time, he still didn't know who he was and whether he had the ability to help him.
However, when he tried every means and was unable to do anything, he was willing to believe that there was such a person who could say something to help him, even if the other person just said maybe!
"If Master can really help me find out whether my brother Wu Xing is dead or alive, I, the Wu family, will be a slave for the rest of our lives and we must repay Master for his great kindness!"
As the Wu family spoke, their knees became weak again, and they just wanted to kneel down.
He is not a weakling, his knees are just a little sore when he screams every day and the earth does not work, in order to be able to know whether his brother is alive or dead.
However, he couldn't kneel down in front of the young man in front of him no matter what, because he didn't allow it!
"Boss Wu, you don't have to do this. I will do my best to ask my friends for help. Don't worry!"
The Wu family seemed to have taken reassurance and quickly thanked him with clasped fists.
"Then thank you so much, my benefactor. I'm going to prepare a guest room for my benefactor now. I'll cook a table of good food for my benefactor in the evening. I'll go right away!"
"Um!"
Nangong Yun smiled and nodded. He felt a little bitter in his heart when he saw the Wu family leaving in a hurry.
Perhaps, ever since he knew his life experience, there was something in his heart that even he himself didn't know clearly.
However, he knew that nothing he said would be redundant now, so he left it to the Wu family to make arrangements.
