"Let him sleep well, and he should wake up tomorrow. The old man slowly withdrew the hand that was placed on Hu Le's body and turned his head to look at everyone.

Sun Daren and the others nodded busily, lest they slacken, only Wei Lai stood at the door of the room, staring at each other with a silent face, motionless.

"The medicine is picked up according to this prescription, the Ancheng Pharmacy in the west of the city has been open in Ningxiao City for sixty or seventy years, and the word-of-mouth prices are extremely fair, if you are not too troublesome, you can go there to buy it. The old man handed over a piece of letter paper full of himself and said with a smile.

Sun Daren hurriedly stretched out his hand to take it, and replied again and again: "Okay, good." ”

Only then did the old man reach out and lift the medicine box in his hand, and stood up, Sun Daren and the others hurriedly got out of the way when they saw this, and the old man's gaze happened to fall on Wei Lai at the door at that time when he crossed the gap where everyone got out of the way. A smile twinked across his old face as he stepped forward.

As he approached, the seemingly calm and silent expression on the young man's face at the door changed slightly, but he was forcibly covered by the young man.

The old man's eyes narrowed, and he didn't know if he was too dizzy to see clearly, or if he didn't want to break the stubbornness of the young man.

He smiled slightly: "Let's go." ”

The young man's body trembled at that moment, and the light in his eyes flashed, as if he hesitated, as if he was throbbing, but after a few breaths, he nodded silently.

......

It's winter.

The night breeze was cold, and the drizzle suddenly fell in the night wind, dripping into Wei Lai's forehead, and the bone-chilling immediately swept around him.

He glanced sideways at the old man beside him.

Six years or seven years.

He hadn't seen him for a long time, and he was still like that, wearing a Confucian shirt, a wooden hairpin on his head, and a slightly rickety waist, but he tried his best to stand straight. Like a pine standing on a cliff, standing still in the face of wind and rain, and like a sleeping lion, squinting its eyes and hiding majesty under its robe.

The old man felt Wei Lai's gaze, and he also turned his head to look at Wei Lai.

Wei Lai was excited, and subconsciously hurriedly withdrew his gaze.

"Viewing the Mountain...... Where are you buried?" the old man looked at it, but asked softly instead of breaking it.

What does it have to do with you.

Such a response hung on Wei Lai's lips, and he almost subconsciously wanted to spit it out. But I don't know if he remembered what Xu Yue said, or he couldn't bear it after all, he finally swallowed back this answer: "Buried next to my father, green mountains and green waters, good feng shui." ”

"Hmm. The old man nodded, and the night wind blew through the white hair on his forehead, and the autumn rain hit his old but well-washed clothes. The old man's face seemed a little lonely at that moment, but just like the young man trying to hide his thoughts, the old man also hid the fleeting look.

At this point, this pair of grandparents is surprisingly similar.

"I heard that you went to Xu Mansion today, Xiao Baihe and Ning Luyuan also came, the three families, who do you choose?"

"Who do you think I should choose?" Wei Lai asked rhetorically.

"The Xiao family holds the Zixiao Army, the most powerful, and today it seems that through the Ziyun Palace, it also has a relationship with the Tianque Realm, it seems that Xiao Mu or Xiao Meng are very likely to be included in the Tianque Realm as a disciple. As the first divine sect in the north, the Tianque Realm has a close relationship with Da Chu, and there are many disciples all over the world, if Xiao Baihe can support his son to return from school, no matter whether the Xiao family bets on the right treasure in this battle for succession, as long as he can survive, in the next sixty years, there will be a seat for the Xiao family in Da Yan. ”

"As for the Xu family. Xu Yue, this child, can be regarded as a blessing in disguise, and he can be favored by Meng Hangju of Guiyuan Palace, and it is almost ironclad to achieve the Eight Great Sages in the future. She has true feelings for you, and over the years, she has asked his father to inquire about you from me. It's just that the way of Guiyuan Palace is quite similar to Buddhism, paying attention to forgetting feelings and cutting dust, and seeking the realm of selflessness and true self. I was born in a Confucian family, and I am not good at this, so I dare not make judgments. However, if you choose the Xu family, his Nian Yue'er's child can break this way, but if she can't break this way, Guiyuan Palace will do the method of cutting off mortal dust, and you will be the first to bear the brunt. ”

Hearing this, Wei Lai's heart jumped, he had heard Xu Trap and Xu Yue talk about this so-called broken red dust before, but he never thought that this method was so harsh and cruel.

"As for the Ning family...... Jiang Huanshui didn't give Wei time to digest his words, but continued to say unhurriedly: "Ning Luyuan is a good old man, he said that he was born as a martial artist, but he is more like a Confucian gentleman. Of course, the kind of gentleman who is a hypocrite. It's a pity that Ning Luyuan's seven sons have not inherited his father's ability to settle down, and the six eldest sons have eaten and lived with the soldiers in the army since they were young, and their prestige in the army is great. But only his youngest son, Ning Chuan...... I can't see it through. ”

Wei Lai raised his eyebrows, and when he heard this, he couldn't help but glance at the old man beside him, obviously although he was dissatisfied with the old man in his heart, Wei Lai was still extremely convinced of his eyesight. It is enough to make the old man unable to see through the guy, which is enough to make Wei Lai secretly surprised.

"But you still haven't told me who I should choose. Wei Lai suppressed the reaction in his heart, and then asked in a deep voice.

The rain is still falling, and it is incessant.

Jiang Huanshui shook his head: "When your mother was going to marry your father, I told her that I, a disciple, is good at everything, but I have a straight temperament and a tendon. You married him, lucky, you have stumbled in this life, you can control his skin, but you can't control his roots. If you're unlucky, he's going to cause a catastrophe one day, and then he'll ......"

"But your mother's temperament, you should know it very well, she likes to ask, but never listens to others. You and she think about this very much, so I think you already have the answer in your heart when you ask, and it doesn't matter if I say it or not. ”

Wei Lai was silent for a while when he heard this, and then he decided to put this topic aside, looked up at the darkness in the distance and said, "I heard that Ning Xiao City is also going to start building the Wupan Dragon King Temple, right?"

"It has been nearly half a year since the will to canonize him as the god of Zhaoyue Zhengshen, since he is the god who rules Ningzhou, Ningxiao City should naturally have his temple. The old man said calmly.

When mentioning the Wupan Dragon King, Wei Lai couldn't hear even the slightest emotional fluctuation from the old man's mouth, such an almost calm calm, such an almost declarative tone, which made the young man suppress some emotions in his heart, and at that moment there was a tendency to burst the embankment. Wei Lai lowered his head, clenched his hands tightly, lowered his voice, and tightened his teeth: "Because the imperial court wants it, it will be built as scheduled, right?"

The old man glanced at the young man with a blazing flame in his eyes and asked, "Are you angry for your father and mother, or are you angry for Ningzhou, who is about to die?"

"Does it make a difference?" Wei Lai asked with a frown.

"Absolutely. ”

"I am a failed father and a failed state pastor. ”

"As a grandson or a citizen of Ningzhou, you have enough reason to hate me. ”

The old man said unhurriedly, and his stagnant footsteps took another step at that time, slowly moving forward. Wei Lai's brows twisted into a high ravine in the center of his eyebrows, but he still kept up with the old man's pace after a moment of hesitation.

"But as a human being, you have to know the purpose of your existence. ”

"Just as a swordsman must know why he holds his sword, and a soldier must understand what he is fighting for, no matter whether the reason is noble or low, there must be a reason so that you can move forward, otherwise you will be just a walking corpse roaming around. ”

"Why do you all like to tell me these great truths?" Wei Lai's brow furrowed a little deeper at that time.

The old man smiled and turned his head to look at the young man beside him: "Probably because we don't have anything else to leave you in this life." ”

"You seem to have forgotten that it was your big truths that killed my father, my mother, and Lu Guanshan. Wei Lai stopped, he suddenly raised his head and looked directly at the old man in front of him, his voice suddenly increased at that time, and a raging fire also ignited in his eyes, as if to burn the old man in front of him: "Where are you when they use their lives to implement the truth you taught them!?"

The old man was stunned in place under the young man's questioning.

I don't know if it's because I don't know how to respond to the teenager's questioning for a while, or if I'm just surprised by the teenager's sudden passionate attitude.

The young man stared at the old man who was silent, and at that moment the corners of the old man's clothes blown in the night breeze and the raised white hair made the old man look so thin and so lonely. It seemed to touch or sting the boy, and the flame in his eyes was extinguished.

His voice was lowered by him again: "You're right, I need to figure out why I'm angry, and I'll figure out who killed them." ”

"I will carry out my word, and I will seek revenge on them. ”

"But this is my business, and it has nothing to do with the state pastor. ”

After saying this, Wei Lai bowed down and stretched out one hand to one place, it turned out that the two of them had walked to the door of the ancestral house unconsciously, and Wei Lai's move was like an eviction order for the old man.

The old man was slightly stunned, but there was not much hesitation or loneliness as others imagined, he glanced at Wei Lai, then arched his hand towards Wei Lai, and then walked out of the ancestral house.

Wei Lai stood in the room, looking at the old man's distant back, his expression gloomy. But I didn't know that the old man who was far away, lowered his head, faced the night breeze and drizzle, trembling and walking, the corners of his mouth suddenly hooked up a smile, and he muttered to himself: "Grow up......"

......

Xufu.

Xu Yue sat in front of the door and looked up at the courtyard.

The night wind was colder, and the autumn rain that fell gradually took on a color, which was a faint white, a clean white.

The girl in the wheelchair was in a trance at that time, and she suddenly realized that this seemed to be the first snow of the year in Ningzhou.

It came at the right time and at the right time.

"You say, will that guy really come to the Xu Mansion with a dowry tomorrow?" A rough voice suddenly sounded beside the girl.

Xu Yue glanced sideways at the man, then turned his head to look at the courtyard again.

She shook her head: "People change, not to mention that they have experienced so many things, I have no way of knowing what he wants now, what kind of person he is, and naturally I can't give an answer." ”

"Isn't the Spring and Autumn Deduction Method granted to you by Meng Hangju ineffective?" the person next to him asked again.

"I didn't use this method on him. Xu Yue shook her head again, and then she raised her head and glanced sideways at the person beside her: "My method of cutting dust has not yet been cultivated, and before that, I was still a person." There are some surprises and unpredictables in the end, and I don't want to know the answer to everything so early. ”

When the person next to him heard this, he immediately fell silent. His expression was a little lonely, and there was a faint sense of guilt in the depths of his loneliness.

"The Xiao family was originally born in the Purple Cloud Palace, and the head of the Purple Cloud Palace had already accepted the five princes as disciples a few days ago, so it seems that the position of the Xiao family has long been decided. Coupled with the recent rumors about the Xiao family and the Tianque Realm, if he wants to settle down, the Xiao family is undoubtedly the best choice. ”

"Ning Luyuan is very deep in the city, and his attitude towards the battle for the heir is still unclear, but I deduce from the method of spring and autumn thousand machines, the probability of the Ning family falling to the prince accounts for more than seventy percent, if he still wants to avenge his father, then the Ning family will be a good choice. ”

"As for our Xu family, we have already withdrawn from the matter, the victory or defeat of this battle for succession is of little significance to us, in a few years, my method of cutting the dust is completed, and the Xu family may be able to move out of Ningzhou, if he is not interested in this dispute, the Xu family can also be a place to go. But if there is a mistake in my method of cutting dust, he will bear the brunt of it and be written on the dust cutting record of Guiyuan Palace...... Whether he is willing to take this risk, I don't know. ”

Xu Yue's words were not hurried, and after the person next to him listened, his brows furrowed slightly: "It seems that there is no ingredient about you in all your speculations." ”

Xu Yue responded with a smile: "Because I hope that I am not in all his considerations, otherwise he will pay the price sooner or later." ”

Of course, the man could understand the meaning of Xu Yue's words, and his voice was a little lower at that time: "I probably shouldn't really send you to Guiyuan Palace......

Xu Yue was stunned, and then a wry smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.

She turned her head to look at the person beside her again: "In your eyes, I am just a bargaining chip for the rise and fall of the family. ”

"From Xiao Meng to Guiyuan Palace, when did you ask me how I felt. ”

The man's face changed when he heard this, and he was eager to say something: "Yue'er, I ......"

But as soon as he said this, he was interrupted by Xu Yue: "Dad...... Do you know what the greatest benefit of cultivating the method of cutting dust is?"

"I can see through everything, and no false lie can be hidden in my eyes. ”

"I don't want to use the Spring and Autumn Thousand Chance method on him anymore, because I have used it on my father's body, and I know that even my father at this moment is still secretly glad that he sent me to Guiyuan Palace in the first place, so that the Xu family can be spared the storm of the current battle for succession. ”

Xu Trap's face was becoming a little ugly, and it didn't feel good to be ruined by Dao Po, especially on the premise that Dao Po was still his own daughter.

He stared at the girl in front of him, staring at the side face of her who said these words calmly, and inexplicably felt that the girl in front of him was a little strange and a little unspeakably terrifying.

But the girl was unaware of any of this, and she just muttered to herself as she watched the snow grow larger outside the yard.

"Winter is here in Ningzhou. ”
