Chapter 638

"I'm Datou Mo, what's the matter, little friend?"

In the corner, an old man who was not affected by gravity and smoked a pipe said calmly.

Gu Chen looked at him, and found that this person's head was extremely large, no wonder he had such a nickname.

He withdrew his gravity and walked slowly towards Mo Datou.

The demon cultivators who were suppressed on the ground were relieved for a moment, and quickly got up, not daring to block Gu Chen's way.

They have been licking blood on the tip of their knives all year round, and they have always had a vicious look at people. They knew that the young man in front of them was not easy to deal with, and they could not take advantage of him, so they all dared not pursue the previous matter.

The tavern quickly became noisy again, as if nothing happened just now.

Gu Chen came and sat down in front of Mo Datou, "I was introduced by Mr. Tan, and I need help from a fellow Taoist."

"I don't know what's the matter? The price I'm asking is not cheap." Mo Datou replied with a smile.

"The fire in the ancient city of Lukang more than two years ago, I want to know the information about the dead Gu people, the more detailed the better."

Mo Datou suddenly revealed deep thought, "Almost all the monks related to that incident more than two years ago were killed by the Gu family. Even if there were fish that slipped through the net, they did not dare to talk about it, lest the Gu family would come to the door again and want to find someone else." The clues may not be easy."

"Money is not a problem." Gu Chen said indifferently.

Mo Datou smiled, "It's not about money, it's just that the outside world is not peaceful recently, and I have sent a lot of people out. It is difficult to investigate this matter, and I am afraid it will take a lot of time."

"How long will it take?" Gu Chen frowned.

"It will take half a month at the fastest, and it is not surprising that it will take a few months."

This speed made Gu Chen very dissatisfied, his whereabouts have been exposed now, the longer the delay, the more variables will become.

It's just that he has no better way, he can only say. "That's fine, you investigate this matter as soon as possible, and if you can complete the task within half a month, I will give you double reward."

"Okay, it's a deal." Mo Datou said straightforwardly, and poured a glass of wine for Gu Chen.

"Actually, if you are eager to understand this matter, there is a way that may be faster."

"Appreciate further details."

"The people who drink in my tavern are almost all local snakes in the ancient city of Lukang. They know everything that happened here very well. Perhaps some of them know about it."

"It's just that you offended them with your actions just now, I'm afraid..." Mo Datou paused.

"Everyone, I offended you a lot earlier. Today, I will pay for your drinks. Let's have a good drink."

Gu Chen's voice spread throughout the tavern.

"Good! Generous enough!"

"If that's the case, I'll have a good drink!"

The demon cultivators in the tavern immediately cheered.

"The wine here is not cheap." Mo Datou looked at Gu Chen in surprise, the person introduced by Lao Tan had an unusual aura.

"I'm not short of money." Gu Chen answered crisply.

...

In the next few days, Gu Chen spent all day in Mo Datou's tavern.

While waiting for the results of Mo Datou's investigation, he also took the initiative to contact the local snakes here.

Because of his generous shot and drinking happily, many people soon knew that there was a young magic cultivator named Chen Gu here.

Gu Chen blended into the environment of Sen Mohai, and he found that although the demon cultivators here are cruel and sinister, at least they don't play the hypocritical ways of the monks of Xianzong, which suits his appetite.

He chatted with many monks from all over the world. Although he didn't get any clues about his father, he gained a lot of knowledge.

The demon cultivators talk about it every day, and this is the distribution center of Sen Mohai's information.

"Recently, there has been a lot of news from the depths of the Forest Demon Sea. It is said that mysterious ancient corpses have appeared there and wandered around the land, causing trouble to many people."

"I have also heard about this matter. It is said that there are far more than one ancient corpse wandering around, and they are extremely powerful. Many sects have fallen into their hands."

"A few days ago, people in Evil Ridge seemed to have encountered ancient corpses in the depths. It is said that they suffered heavy losses. Even old man Tan, who had not been involved in the affairs of Evil Ridge for a long time, was called back. This shows how serious the situation is."

In the past few days, what everyone talked about the most was a rumor from the depths of the Deep Demon Sea.

From them, Gu Chen knew why Tan Lao left in a hurry that day, and also knew his identity.

He is a member of the well-known evil force in the Deep Demon Sea, and is said to be one of the Eight Great Evil Men.

Gu Chen listened to the rumors about the ancient corpse with great interest. These things sound bizarre, and they are currently only circulated among a small number of demon cultivators in the Deep Demon Sea.

"Where did those ancient corpses come from? It is said that they are extremely powerful, and almost everyone who encounters them dies."

"It's nothing more than scaremongering. If everyone you meet is dead, how can this news spread? From my point of view, maybe some guys are pretending to be ghosts."

Some people are worried, some people sneer.

"Don't underestimate those wandering corpses, winter is coming! Their number is increasing, and their range of wandering is gradually expanding. Sooner or later, they will sweep the entire Senmo Sea, and we will all die!"

A disheveled monk in the corner was drunk and suddenly shouted loudly. After speaking, he lay down on the table and fell asleep.

Everyone laughed when they saw this, and Gu Chen also laughed without saying a word.

After staying in the tavern for many days, after getting to know each other well, a middle-aged man with a mischievous eyebrow approached Gu Chen on his own initiative.

"I heard that you were inquiring about the Gu family two years ago?" He asked Gu Chen in a low voice.

Gu Chen's eyes brightened slightly. After waiting for so long, did he finally gain anything?

He nodded, and the middle-aged man smiled. "I know that there is someone who personally experienced that incident, but he is my friend. He hides this incident very deeply, lest the Gu people will trouble him. So, if I tell you..."

"How much do you want to pay?" Gu Chen interrupted him.

The middle-aged man immediately reported a number cautiously.

"Yes." Gu Chen replied flatly.

"Also, I won't take you to find him personally, and you can't say that I told you about this after you find him." The middle-aged man reminded.

Gu Chen agreed to all his conditions, and to show his sincerity, he gave half of the reward first.

"Where's the other half?" The middle-aged man held a big bag of Yuanjing with joy on his face.

"The other half of the reward will be paid after confirming that what you said is true." Gu Chen replied.

He wouldn't just give him all the money based on a few words from the other party. The remaining half of the reward, depending on the truth of what he said, might be Yuanjing, or it might be a sharp sword piercing his throat.

"Okay, yes. Listen carefully, that man's nickname is War Ghost, and he is an enshrinement from the Fengma Auction House in the city. He is extremely powerful, and he is a cultivator in the Dharma Body Realm. He is also considered number one in Senmohai. Go find him. He'd better be careful with what he's asking."

The middle-aged man was afraid that Gu Chen would not be able to come back after he left, so he reminded.

Gu Chen carefully wrote down what the other party said. For the first time in many days, he left the tavern and went directly to the auction house where the war ghost was.
