In the legal pavilion, He Long Ze asked excitedly: "Uncle Li, do you know my mother's whereabouts?"

"I don't know!" He Li said in a deep voice, turned around and grabbed a case file from the table, and said, "You can also go down and rest!"

"Uncle Li!" and Long Ze stepped forward, his voice full of pleading.

He Li waved his hand, "You go down, I'm going to rest too, but as an elder, I have to warn you, the outside world is full of dangers, it's not a place where you can do whatever you want, put aside your identity and without the protection of your family, with your current cultivation, among the cultivators in the world, you are just an ant-like existence, and if you don't have enough strength, you may lose your life at any time if you break around outside." ”

"Uncle Li, please tell me my mother's whereabouts!" and Long Ze knelt down.

"I don't know your mother's whereabouts, and even if I did, I wouldn't have told you. Amiable tone suddenly became indifferent.

"Uncle Li......" and Long Ze begged again.

But with a wave of his sleeves, a force surged, and he broke through the screen and fell outside the pavilion door.

He Long Ze raised his head from the ground, looked at He Li's cold back through the hole in the screen, gritted his teeth and got up, and saluted the inside of the pavilion door, "Nephew retire!"

It's not that he doesn't want to ask about his mother's whereabouts, but this kind of "encountering a wall" like this, he has experienced many times in the clan a few years ago, and even suffered many humiliations, knowing that no matter how much he pleads, no one will reveal the slightest news of his parents to him.

Turning to look at the street lamp lit up in front of him, he didn't know where to go, so he numbly walked forward along the light, feeling like he was abandoned by the whole world, and even thinking about whether he could let Uncle Li recommend him to send him to the sect, he was powerless to go back to ask for help.

Halfway through, he thought that Xiaopang and Miss Jing Da would be recommended to be sent to the sect, and it was estimated that they would go to Zixiao Mountain in a few days, what were they still doing in this criminal mansion?

Recalling the route he had come, he took a few more steps forward, came to the bend of the path, and tried to take a step outside the street lamp on his left, when suddenly a street lamp came on in the darkness, illuminating a corridor.

"Alas!" sighed, and stepped onto the corridor on the left with Long Ze.

According to the route in his memory, after a while, he saw the black gate of the Punishment Mansion, and there was still no guard at the door, so he walked straight over, and the gate burst open.

After a pause, and Long Ze resolutely walked out of the gate, the dark door slammed shut behind him, he stood at the bottom of the steps, looked back, turned around and left indifferently.

At this time, in the Law Pavilion of the Criminal Punishment Mansion, He Li sighed and said to himself: "He Longze, I hope that in this vast world, you will break out of your own way like your father back then, but don't be as upright as your father, you must know that it is just easy to break!"

Shaking his head a little helplessly, he took out a small note from the case file in his hand, only to see that it was written in small letters "The Xie family uses light and dark means to network the forces of various cities", and there are several items listed behind, the first one is "Marry the Jing family, and Xie Ding marries Jing Xinyue on August 18".

"Xie family! In the past few years, they have become more unscrupulous, and it is really a wolf's ambition to replace me and my family in charge of Taoyuan Dao!" He Li gritted his teeth fiercely, and then shouted outside the pavilion door: "Bai Chop." ”

Immediately, Bai Shu, who was dressed in a black torture suit, walked in briskly from outside the pavilion door, knelt on one knee and bowed with his right hand on his right knee, "What do you command?"

He Li turned around and looked at him gently, "Bai Shu, you have been here for a long time to serve in the Criminal Mansion, it's time to return to the master's gate, let's set off tomorrow! ”

"Yes, my lord!" replied Hakusaki.

"Okay, you should go down and rest early!" said with Li gentlely.

"Yes!" Bai Slash replied, got up neatly and walked out.

On the streets of Rongcheng at night, He Long Ze, who looked a little thin, was walking step by step against the night wind, and the whole person seemed incompatible with the bustle of the Hualou tavern on the street.

He was in a depressed mood, he hated the sounds around him, he didn't want to stay here for a moment, and he even didn't want to stay in Rongcheng.

So, he hurried forward and wanted to go out of the city.

But when he passed through several long streets, and when he reached the city gate, he found that the city gate was closed, and the city guards were strictly guarding the city gate and the city walls, and no one was allowed to enter or leave.

Unable to get out of the city and with nowhere to go, He Long Ze had to find a wall root under the city wall and sit down, waiting for the city gate to open early tomorrow morning.

"Boy, why are you so depressed?" suddenly a voice sounded beside him.

Because of the upset mood with Long Ze, he really didn't notice that there was another person beside him, and when he turned his head to look, he saw an old man named Hanako beside him, holding a wine jar and half-lying on the wall.

The strong smell of wine swept into his nose with the wind, so that he couldn't help frowning, sneezed, and turned back to ignore the old man.

"Boy, I haven't been to a bar, do you want to take a sip?" the old man laughed.

He Long Ze twisted his head to the other side, still ignoring the old man.

"Hehe, boy, life is unsatisfactory eight times out of ten, don't be disheartened because of a momentary setback, don't miss your practice because of a momentary mood, and don't miss your life because of a momentary practice. The old man shook his head and read aloud, like a down-and-out fortune teller.

When He Long Ze heard the old man's words, he turned his head a little stunned and asked, "Uncle, can you see that I have practice?"

"Hehe" the old man smiled and said, "The old man can still see that you have good seedlings!"

He Long Ze was even more puzzled, the old man was full of alcohol, his body was weak, and he looked like an old man called Hanako, how could he see that he was a good talent? The patriarch said that he was just an ordinary cultivation talent.

As if seeing his doubts, the old man smiled and said: "Boy, don't doubt that although the old immortal has fallen into such a body as he is now, he still has the eyesight he should have, but he is not fooling you." ”

It's just that as soon as the old man said this, He Long Ze didn't believe it even more, saying that he was not a liar, most of them were liars, looking at his appearance as a drunkard, maybe he would take out a few fake secrets to cheat some money to buy wine.

However, the old man didn't seem to care whether he believed it or not, and didn't care whether he was listening or not, and continued: "In this world, in addition to cultivation and life, even if you fall into adversity, you have to live well, just like the old man is immortal, he used to have unlimited scenery and was admired everywhere, but now he is crippled, his hands and feet are not dexterous, he can't do anything, he can only eat the overlord meal without eating, and if he doesn't have any wine to drink, he will steal wine and drink, hehe, anyway, they can't kill me if I am caught/caught." ”

After the old man finished speaking, he grabbed the jar and took a sip, shook the jar, put the jar on the ground, tried to get up, staggered forward, and said as he went: "There is still half a jar of wine, just leave it to you boy to drink! ”

He Long Ze didn't speak, looking at the old man's staggering back, he suddenly felt full of infinite freedom, and for some reason he vaguely believed what the old man said.

At this point, some of the old man's words began to echo in his mind.

Suddenly, He Long Ze grabbed the wine jar next to him and poured it violently. Suddenly, the liquor rushed from the throat to the stomach like a fire, and the cold smell of the wine rushed up from the belly.

Coughing violently a few times, he had never drunk before, but he lifted the wine jar and poured a few sips, and felt that his body was fluttering, and the whole person was gradually immersed in memories.

Father, mother, sister, the happy days of the past, like a picture scroll, appear in my mind one by one.

"Good boy, mother is going to look for your father's bones, you must take care of your sister, if your mother can't come back, remember not to look for your mother, remember, remember. Mother's parting words suddenly sounded in his mind.

Suddenly, He Long Ze woke up from his memories and remembered what He Li said: Even if the entire family is on the table, it will not be able to resolve the catastrophe of your parents.
