Chapter 143: The Past Revisited
After a few glasses of old wine, the atmosphere between the three of them began to liven up.
The Perak Daoist and Lao Wu talked about the past, and Wei Dong drank alone, acting as a listener on the sidelines.
It turned out that Lao Wu, surnamed Wu Mingtian, was the younger brother of a junior disciple of the Perak Dao people.
Because this junior brother has been an orphan since he was a child, he and his younger brother depend on each other for their lives.
Time and place, as if returning to Yunxia County of the Brilliant Continent, the winter of that year. The snow was falling and it was freezing cold, and a pair of young brothers huddled in a corner, hugging each other for warmth. Just when the two of them were dying, it happened that they were seen by the master of the Perak Daoist, who took pity on them and took them back to the sect.
Originally, I wanted them to do some groceries in the sect, at least so that they could make ends meet. But unexpectedly, the spiritual roots of the two brothers are extremely good, and they both belong to the mutated thunder spirit roots.
In order to win over them, Wei Dong's ancestor and several of his brothers also quarreled. In the end, the ancestor accepted the eldest Wu Fa as an apprentice, and an uncle who lived nearby accepted the second Wu Tian as an apprentice.
Because they were very close to each other, whenever he finished cultivating, Wu Tian would always come over to meet his brother. After a long time, he became familiar with the Perak people.
The Perak Daoist also has a junior sister, who is the daughter of the ancestor, and these four people have been playing together since childhood, cultivating together, and being like siblings.
In this way, he lived happily like a fairy for decades.
In one day, the sect was suddenly wiped out. A group of people with advanced cultivation forcibly broke in and set fire to people everywhere. The ancestor and the seniors tried their best to resist, but to no avail, they couldn't fight that group of strongmen at all.
In desperation, Shizu broke out of the siege and led three apprentices to flee to the east, wanting to go to the Sword Pavilion there for help.
On the way, he was robbed and killed, as if the person who robbed and killed was the person in the Sword Pavilion. As soon as the ancestor saw that the general trend had gone, for the survival of the three apprentices, he could only blow himself up to resist the enemy.
The road to escape was full of hardships and dangers, and the younger sisters and younger brothers of the Perak Dao people were killed in battle. Only one of the Perak Riders was left in a coma with serious injuries.
After waking up, he found that there was still a person lying beside him, it was Wu Tian. It turned out that the two were rescued by Yuan Gang's father. That Yuan Gang was the head of the Xiuzhen Department of the 'Blue Moon First Academy'.
Yuan Gang's father was a hermit cultivator with strong mana, and he happened to go out to collect medicine and encountered two chases and killings one after another, so he moved his heart of compassion and rescued him repeatedly.
Speaking of this, Wei Dong asked suspiciously: "How could someone come to destroy the sect, did they offend some big forces?"
The Thunderbolt Daoist and Wu Tian looked at each other and shook their heads, "Impossible, this group of people is from several sects, not like a group, there should be someone leading the organization." ”
Exactly for what it is, no one knows over time.
"After I recovered from my injuries, I disguised myself and went into the Sword Pavilion as a handyman for a few years, and I deliberately inquired: after that day, it seems that an elder suddenly died. Chen Hua, do you think it could be that the gang is killing people?" Wu Tian asked the Thunderbolt Daoist.
"Well, it's very likely, it's just that after a long time, we can't inquire about many things anymore, our strength was too weak back then, and we couldn't find out anything at all, and the cause and effect of this matter can only be dissipated with the wind. The Thunderbolt sighed softly.
"You haven't asked Yuan Gang, it was his father who saved us back then, and the old man is very strong, I suspect that he has already seen some clues. Wu Tian asked in a low voice about the thunderbolt man opposite.
"This matter has nothing to do with them in the first place, it is a great righteousness to save us, how can I trouble them again?" The Thunderbolt shook his head repeatedly.
"Alas, too. What the hell is going on? I still don't understand. Wu Tianxin raised his hand unwillingly and drank a glass of aged wine.
The three of them sat together and pushed the cups to change the lamps, and in the blink of an eye, they drank the three bottles of fine wine in Wu Tian's store.
It was getting dark, and the street lights were starting to flicker brightly. When the three of them were drinking vigorously, Wu Tian suddenly got up and pulled out a closed wooden sign from the bar and hung it outside the door.
"Why, it's not open tonight!" the Perak Taoist asked casually as he filled his glass.
"It's not open, and I won't be back after tonight. Wu Tian looked at the furnishings in the house, as if he had some souvenirs. After all, it's a place I've been staying for decades, and it's always a bit sad to leave.
"I said that I would arrive in the evening at the latest, why haven't Yuan Gang and them come yet?" Wu Tian hesitantly sat back in his original seat, picked up the cup and drank it again.
After some time, there were already several waves of old customers at the door of the bar, and when they saw the wooden sign at the door that said 'closed', they all turned around and walked away in confusion.
At this time, there was a sound of knocking on the door knocker at the door of the store, "Wu Tian, Wu Tian, open the door quickly, I'm Yuan Gang." ”
"It's coming", all three people present were happy.
Wei Dong was very clever and immediately got up and ran quickly to open the door of the store.
From outside the door, the two people hurriedly walked in, it was the head of the department Yuan Gang and his disciple Zhuge Qin.
"You're finally here. I thought it was ......," Wu Tian complained dissatisfied.
But his words were interrupted by Yuan Gang, "Hehe, I know that you are in a hurry, I have no choice, I still have to ask for leave from the academy, the Xiuzhen Department ran away from the two deans of the department, this leave is difficult to ask!"
"Sit down, I'll fry a few dishes, and I'll be here in a moment. Wu Tian beckoned everyone to sit down around the table, and he went into the kitchen hut to stir-fry.
After the three of them sat down, Wei Dong skillfully took out a few bottles of beer from the bar and filled them all with them, as if to quench their thirst.
"Your brother's reunion should be a mixture of joy and sorrow. Yuan Gang smiled and said to the Thunderbolt Daoist.
"Alas, it's hard to put into words, I want to go back in the day!"
"Uh, how did you find him?" A question came from the mouth of the Thunderbolt Man.
"To tell you the truth, Wu Tian came here, it was arranged by my father, he wanted to live alone and quietly, and he no longer wanted to see his old people. That's why I didn't tell you" Yuan Gang looked at the kitchen and heard the sound of stir-frying coming from inside, so he said quite loudly.
"It's been a long time since I've been here, and the last time I was here was more than 10 years ago. If it weren't for the lack of manpower this time, I wouldn't have bothered Wu Tian. Yuan Gang continued to explain to the Thunderbolt Daoist.
After a while, Wu Tian came to the table with a large tray, "The dishes are here!"
It's just some home-cooked side dishes, and the five of them eat and drink sweetly with the wine in the cup.
Wu Tian relied on the strength of the wine and asked Yuan Gang: "I said eldest brother, did you find any clues when my uncle saved us back then?"
"Oh, and you still can't let it go?" Yuan Gang was surprised.
"I had forgotten it, but as soon as I saw Chen Hua, I thought of my brother, Sister Lin, my master, and my uncles. Alas, it's still unforgettable!" Wu Tian sighed in his mouth, and his eyes were misty.
"Why are you so troubled!" the Thunderbolt man closed his eyes tightly for fear of tears.
Wei Dong and Zhuge Qin looked at each other, but Wei Dong knew something about the situation, and nodded his head a few times at Zhuge Qin opposite, as if to remind him not to be impatient.
