The Road To Play From Douluo

Chapter 6 The murderous intention hidden in the dark night

At meal time, the main members of the Taoyuan family gathered together to enjoy dinner, but the atmosphere in the family today was different from usual.

Perhaps because of the addition of an outsider like Luo Ta, the members of the Taoyuan family were not very open-minded. Usually during dinner time, they would discuss some topics about the family's subsequent development with each other, but today there were outsiders present, so naturally they could not talk about these confidential topics openly.

Only Taoyuanlong was chatting happily with Lotta. Judging from the appearance of the two of them, they didn't look like the type to talk to each other at all, but the fact was such a coincidence that Lotta and Mogen Taki chatted together.

Perhaps because he was not satisfied with his son's behavior, Taoyuan Taki's father put down his rice bowl heavily and asked Taoyuan Taki sternly: "Taki, shut your mouth during the meal. In addition, the person next to you... um... …What do you call the old gentleman?”

Hearing Taoyuan Long's father mention him, Luo Ta also took the initiative to introduce himself: "Sorry to disturb you, my name is Zhang Zhiwei. I am a Taoist priest who has traveled all over the world. Everyone calls me Lao Tianshi."

Seeing the extraordinary spirit shown in Lotta's conversation, Taoyuan Taki's father restrained his impatient attitude and said calmly to Lotta: "This is the first time I meet Master Tian. I am Taki's father, Taoyuan Akiyama. That boy of mine has caused trouble for you."

Taoyuan Akiyama's performance surprised the other members. Taoyuan Akiyama, who was so domineering and majestic just now, now has a gentle attitude.

It is true that Taoyuan Qiushan is a stern person, but it does not mean that he has no brains. The old man in Taoist robes in front of him is not an ordinary person at first glance, and there will definitely be no good in provoking him rashly.

"It doesn't matter, it doesn't matter. Mr. Ling is very cute, and he can chat with the old man very well." Luo Ta said with a steady smile, showing the demeanor of a worldly master in every gesture.

After Taoyuan Taki saw that his father was in a slightly better mood, he also apologized for his rash behavior of leaving Lotta to eat. After all, he was the one who invited Lotta as a guest, and he didn't discuss it with other members of the family, so there was something wrong.

Taoyuan Akiyama did not blame Taki too much for his actions. He just said lightly: "Pay attention to your actions in the future. Your words and deeds represent the Taoyuan family. You can't be so reckless."

Seeing that Taoyuan Akiyama had no intention of blaming him, Taki responded happily: "I understand, Father. There is another thing I want to discuss with you..."

"Oh? What's the matter? Tell me!"

With Taoyuan Akiyama's permission, Taki also told everyone what he saw and heard in the afternoon.

"In this regard, father, can you leave this matter to me?" Taoyuan Taki looked at Taoyuan Akiyama expectantly.

Taoyuan Qiushan frowned.

Then he slapped his palm on the table so hard that it even knocked over the food on the side. He yelled angrily: "This is nonsense. How can a kid like you handle this kind of thing! You just accept this casually." If the matter is not handled properly, it will only cause the Taoyuan clan to lose face!"

Seemingly because Luo Ta was still around, Qiu Shan's voice softened, but a strong sense of opposition could still be heard in it: "In short, don't get involved in this matter. It's not something you can handle. Be careful with your life." Get in. I have contacted the professional team and I believe we will be able to arrive here soon. Until then, just stay with me."

Taoyuan Taki was still thinking about resisting, but when he was about to speak, he was grabbed by Lotta. Looking at Lotta with a smile on his face, Taoyuan Taki swallowed back his words.

"Mr. Akiyama, it is a rare good thing that this boy Taki has such ambitions. There is nothing wrong with it. It would be better to say that there is a successor to the Taoyuan family!"

As soon as these words came out, the surrounding atmosphere instantly cooled down. The word heir seemed to be very difficult for the Taoyuan family to let go of.

Feeling the sudden change around him, Lotta also realized that something was wrong, and he frankly admitted his mistake.

"I have just overstepped my bounds. If I have said some inappropriate words, I hope you will forgive me."

Taoyuan Qiushan wiped the corners of his eyes, shed a few crystal tears, summoned up his energy and said to Luo Ta: "Master Tian, ​​you don't need to apologize, it's just that there are some things that we haven't been able to let go of, and it's none of your business."

Taoyuan Taki suddenly stood up and ran out of the house, which made Lotta look a little confused. He didn't expect that the story involved was really complicated.

"Let me go and see that boy Taki first. Young people are sometimes more impulsive."

Just when Luo Ta was about to follow him out, Taoyuan Akiyama took the initiative to stop Luo Ta, "Excuse me, Master Tian. I can see that Long is listening to you. Although I don't know why, I still ask you to bring Long back safely. We The Taoyuan clan... really can't afford to lose Taki anymore..."

Luo Ta sighed softly and replied calmly: "Don't worry, Mr. Akiyama, Mr. Ling will never be in any danger!"

After leaving Taoyuan Mansion, Luo Ta roughly surmised some of the ins and outs of the matter, which was probably related to a series of recent cases of young people disappearing at night.

Looking at the darkening sky, it was better to find Taoyuan Taki as soon as possible. After all, he had just said harsh words.

In the cemetery outside Sakura Town, in front of a tombstone engraved with the words Taoyuan Maple, Taki knelt there with tears in his eyes. Tears fell involuntarily from his eyes and soaked his collar.

"Brother... I must find the murderer for you, and I will grow into an outstanding family heir like you!"

Not long after Rota set out to search for Togen Taki, Miyamoto Ichiro and several Demon Slayer swordsmen also visited the Togen family's mansion.

They themselves came to Yingluo Town to accept the commission from Taoyuan Akiyama. Along the way, they heard strange rumors about the lumber factory being haunted, so they stopped by to have a look. Their destination at the beginning was Taoyuan's house in Yingluo Town.

Taoyuan Qiushan bowed slightly and asked respectfully: "Hello, these must be the swordsmen of the Demon Slayer Squad. What do you call them?"

Ichiro Miyamoto nodded slightly and replied politely: "Yes, we are members of the Demon Slayer Team. I am the captain of this ghost hunting team, Ichiro Miyamoto. You must be Mr. Akiyama who assigned the task to us!"

After getting to know each other, Taoyuan Akiyama also informed Miyamoto Ichiro and others about the specific incident. After just a brief listen, Miyamoto Ichiro had a clue. Things that seemed extremely weird to normal people were not surprising in their eyes. In the final analysis, it was just evil spirits at work.

"Mr. Akiyama, we have a general understanding of the situation. As expected, this was caused by a ghost hiding nearby." Miyamoto Ichiro truthfully informed Taoyuan Akiyama.

"Ghost? I thought this kind of thing was just a rumor, but I didn't expect it to be true... Wait, you said they only move at night, right?"

Ichiro Miyamoto nodded in response to Momogen Akiyama's question, but he didn't understand why Akiyama asked.

Taoyuan Akiyama's face changed drastically, and he said to Miyamoto Ichiro eagerly: "Mr. Miyamoto, my son Taoyuan Taki, and an old gentleman are outside, will they be in danger?"

Miyamoto Ichiro also shrank his pupils. Based on the information provided by Akiyama, the possibility of encountering danger cannot be ruled out.

"The members of the Demon Slayer Squad obeyed the order and quickly searched for Mr. Taki's whereabouts, and reminded others who were outside to return to the house as soon as possible."

Ichiro Miyamoto issued the order in an instant, and the swordsmen rushed out of the Taoyuan family's mansion like a gust of wind without any hesitation.

"Mr. Akiyama, just leave it to our Demon Slayer Squad, you can rest assured!" Miyamoto Ichiro seemed very confident, which also made Taoyuan Akiyama breathe a little relieved.

After comforting Taoyuan Akiyama, Miyamoto Ichiro stepped out of the mansion with sharp eyes, adjusted his breathing rhythm, and started searching along the street.
