628: Copy, Huangniu Town
"This matter has to start from last month."
As the woman's words fell, her thoughts also fell into memory: "Isn't there a big Gaopeng Family named Huang in our Town?"
"A month ago, it was time for the Huang Family to offer sacrifices to their Old Ancestors."
"Every year at this time, the Huang Family holds a very grand ceremony, inviting opera troupes to perform and also inviting people from our Town to eat."
"Last month, which was this year's ancestor worship, the Huang Family was no different from before, just letting us listen to opera, eat, and it was very lively."
"But, when it really came to that night..."
The woman's voice stammered a little as she said this.
Even though the Sun was high in the sky, the chill that surged in her heart still gave her goosebumps on her arms.
"What happened that night?"
Cang Poshi frowned and asked.
An A Man next to him took over the conversation, his voice also trembling slightly: "That night, the Huang Family invited an opera troupe and asked them to perform Ghost opera!"
"It was an opera performed for Ghosts to listen to!"
They said the Old Ancestors wanted to hear it.
"At that time, everyone in our Town was eating, and we felt that the lanterns were completely unlike their usual color.
They turned from orange-red to blood-red, becoming dim, like they were wrapped in a layer of blood."
"Also, when we eat at their ancestor worship banquet like this, to put it bluntly, we are going to eat with their ancestors."
"The large table in the middle had bowls, chopsticks, and chairs placed on it, but they were empty, meaning they were left for the Huang Family's ancestors to sit on."
"Originally, those were all empty seats, but that night, some people said they saw people sitting in those seats, and they were full!"
"You didn't have any accidents at that time?"
Cang Poshi frowned.
After bringing up this topic, the A Man also panted twice, his mood calming down slightly: "No, nothing happened at that time."
"It was that night, that very night something happened!"
The woman who had been too scared to speak just now said hysterically and urgently.
"That night, my A Man just went out to the latrine, I didn't pay attention and fell asleep myself.
Only the next day did I realize that my A Man hadn't come back all night!"
"No, he hasn't come back until now!"
"At first everyone said my A Man ran off with some cheap woman, but I knew it definitely wasn't the case.
My A Man is very honest and decent, he wouldn't do something like that."
"Many people were still laughing at me, but on the second night, the night after the Huang Family invited the opera troupe to finish performing the Ghost opera, someone else disappeared from our Huangniu Town!"
"And it was two!
Two living people, for some unknown reason at night, they just disappeared!"
"The following days were always like this, every day in our Huangniu Town, one or two people would go missing!"
"Didn't you report it to the officials?"
Cang Poshi's brows furrowed deeply upon hearing these descriptions.
"We reported it, how could we not report it to the officials."
The woman said this, with a hint of Fire: "But when the officials heard about the situation there, they directly told the people of our Huangniu Town to move away from there!"
"The officials had no intention of helping us solve the problem at all!"
"Now days are passing one by one, and the number of people in the Town is also getting smaller and smaller.
There are those who mysteriously disappear, and more are those who listened to the officials and moved away."
"Senior Cang, the officials don't care about us, we can only rely on you now.
You must help me find my A Man back.
My A Man was also your registered disciple back then.
If you can find my A Man back, our Family is willing to serve you like cattle and horses and take care of you in your old age."
As the woman spoke, her face was already full of tears and sorrow.
"This..."
Cang Poshi also seemed very conflicted.
Listening to these people's descriptions and thinking about the attitude of the officials, he already had some faint guesses about that situation.
Reason told him that he shouldn't get involved in this matter, but thinking of his experiences in Huangniu Town back then and thinking of his few registered disciples, Cang Poshi's heart softened slightly.
"Then..."
Before the Old Man could finish his reply, a voice suddenly came from inside the mansion.
"Old Cang, my Father is looking for you."
Ning Buxiu said, his figure appearing before everyone.
"Oh, okay."
Cang Poshi paused, then turned to look at the few people in front of him, signaling them to wait.
After Cang Poshi passed by him, Ning Buxiu's gaze fell upon these people at the entrance, his gaze paused slightly, then moved away without a trace.
As in the original work, this instance dungeon plot has already begun.
According to the plot development, Cang Poshi will definitely die in this Ghost monster instance dungeon.
Afterwards, Zhou Wuji came into contact with this Huangniu Town instance dungeon for various reasons.
After clearing it, he obtained Ghost energy items and the Cangying Leg Martial Arts left behind by Cang Poshi in Huangniu Town.
Knowing the cause and effect of this instance dungeon, Ning Buxiu naturally couldn't wait for things to happen indifferently.
No matter what, Cang Poshi is also a strong person of the Ning family.
Letting him die in Huangniu Town is a loss for the Ning family.
In addition, after Cang Poshi's death, the Cangying Leg fell into Zhou Wuji's hands, which further provided nourishment for the protagonist and created obstacles for himself.
No matter from which aspect, Ning Buxiu could not let Cang Poshi go to Huangniu Town.
At least not yet.
The arrival of this instance dungeon did remind Ning Buxiu.
While the protagonist is still locked up in the large prison, he can completely help the protagonist clear this instance dungeon!
After all, the Ghost energy items after the death of Ghost monsters are also of considerable use to him.
It's just that his current strength is still quite a bit short according to his estimation.
He has to wait a bit longer, he needs to do something during this time.
The appearance of the Huangniu Town instance dungeon reminded Ning Buxiu that in the original work, the protagonist seemed to have found several Ghost energy items in a certain antique street, and his strength improved significantly.
If he remembers correctly, it was on Nanlou Street.
"Prepare the carriage, bring money, and go to Nanlou Street."
Ning Buxiu instructed the servant beside him, swept past the people from Huangniu Town beside him, and walked towards the outside of Ning Mansion.
