After that, Li Xiuzhu never went out again, except for reading in his room every day, he walked through the verandah and went to the lake in the northeast corner to continue reading.

...... How much does this guy like to read?

Gradually, with the passage of time, there seems to be a change in this large courtyard.

Under Lu Tao's observation, there were fewer servants in the courtyard, and the remaining ones, including Li Xiuzhu's maids, had some anxiety on their faces whenever they saw it.

Is it related to the so-called unfavorable war in the north mentioned by the teacher before?

Until now, I still can't tell which dynasty and which generation of Lu Tao is here, and I don't even know where this town is, the only thing that can be judged by the coldness and length of the cave is that this is not the south, at least it is more north than those places that are like spring all year round.

The town is not big, the gate is not thick, even if the enemy comes, it seems that he is not qualified to be besieged, Lu Tao, who did not go out, does not know if this town is more people who are preparing to go south to avoid war.

On this day, the weather was sunny and cloudless, and the morning sun did not roast people, but brought some refreshing coolness.

According to his daily habits, Li Xiuzhu set off from his own house, took two books with him and walked to the lake in the northeast corner, passing by his mother's room, but stopped.

“...... Father, let's wait, he'll be back!" The weightless voice came from the other side of the door, and I don't know how many layers of shallow or thick barriers it had passed.

Thanks to Li Xiuzhu's excellent ear power, Lu Tao, who shared Li Xiuzhu's hearing, could also hear such a subtle sound, as Li Xiuzhu got older, the feeling of deafness and vision became stronger and stronger, Lu Tao didn't know if it was because of the pair of horns on his head, Li Xiuzhu had never cultivated, but his eyesight and hearing caught up with the average mid-level monk in the Qi refining period.

"We can't wait any longer, there's no time, your brother has finished the family business over there, and he's been waiting for us for three years. If it weren't for your insistence on staying here...... Hmph! I shouldn't have believed that scholar in the first place! I recruited him as a son-in-law, and served him with good food and drink every day, but he was ungrateful, saying that he went to Beijing to take the exam, but he never returned! Tell me! How many years have it been? Xiuzhu is almost an adult!" This was the voice of Li Xiuzhu's grandfather.

After listening to this passage, Lu Tao suddenly realized that this was completely right.

It turned out that the scholar role he played before was really Li Xiuzhu's father, who played the father and later became a son, and probably no one else. As for why he never saw Li Xiuzhu's mother's brother and Li Xiuzhu's father, it turned out that one went to another place, and the other went to Beijing to take the exam and never came back.

However, some of the details are still not correct, but that's roughly the case, right? Lu Tao still had his previous suspicions, he suspected that the plot he experienced was not a real plot, and there were some changes, but what had changed, Lu Tao couldn't know.

"But father, he said he would come back......"

"You still believe his nonsense?! No, we must get out of here by tomorrow!"

The conversation continued, but Li Xiuzhu didn't seem to have the intention of continuing to listen, he took a direct step forward, and the target was still the lake in the northeast corner of the courtyard.

Lu Tao: "???"

He couldn't understand Li Xiuzhu's thoughts at all, if Lu Tao could control his body, he would definitely have to stay there and listen to the conversation between father and daughter clearly, instead of running away after hearing half of it like now.

The lake is not really a lake, but a pond in the corner of the yard and some lotus flowers, the size of which can accommodate a small boat for twenty minutes.

There is a well-built pavilion by the lake, not big, adjacent to the rows of willows planted by the lake, Li Xiuzhu took the book into the pavilion and sat down, reading quietly, the good sunlight falling from the willow branches, casting shadows between the lines of the book, only the sound of the wind blowing the willow branches around, quiet and far-reaching.

At night, Lu Tao attached himself to Li Xiuzhu and saw his mother.

"Zhu'er, do you want to see your father?"

"I don't want to. ”

Facing his mother's inquiry, Li Xiuzhu sat upright and replied.

“...... Zhu'er, in fact, your father is a good person, if ......"

Lu Tao was stunned and didn't know what was going on.

Li Xiuzhu's mother's mouth was moving, but Lu Tao couldn't hear any sound at all, and then, Lu Tao's eyes went dark, and after a moment, Lu Tao regained his vision, but the scenery changed.

A stone staircase with no end in sight, turning the head, is a path that extends from an unknown distance, the plants on both sides are high or low, full of birds, probably because of the season, only a few small white flowers dot the vines, and there are fluttering butterflies flying around.

Wrong...... Not this one!

Lu Tao wordlessly shouted in his heart: What the hell is here?!

"Let's go up, next, you are a disciple of the Kunlun faction. Beside him, a somewhat old voice came, Li Xiuzhu's gaze moved over, it was a sturdy old man, gray robe, with a long sword on his back, the light in his eyes was bright and scary, but it also contained a slow gentleness.

"Yes, Master!" The young man's voice came out, and Lu Tao was surprised to find that Li Xiuzhu, who he was attached to, seemed to be a little bigger than before.

So...... What the hell is going on here?!

Why did you suddenly come to the Kunlun faction again?

Also, is the Kunlun faction the legendary Kunlun faction? What is the situation with the master? These sudden jumps made Lu Tao very crazy, and he was reluctant to jump for a minute in the usual plot, but when it came to the critical moment, he suddenly jumped all at once?

Pit daddy, this is!

Zhou Shan was shrouded in clouds and mist, following behind the old man, Li Xiuzhu climbed up step by step, and the blue-robed monks who went up and down the mountain bent down to him when they passed the old man, and the old man nodded in return.

Every monk who bent down and bowed looked at Li Xiuzhu cautiously after raising his head, some people were surprised in their eyes, some people were disliked, some people were envious, and even some people, when they saw Li Xiuzhu, their eyes exuded naked hatred.

Halfway up the mountain, there were finally more pavilions and more people, and Li Xiuzhu followed the old man and came to a building.

Pushing the door in, passing through the hall, and further back, there was a small courtyard with a well in the middle, but it seemed that no one had used it for a long time.

The old man pointed to one of the rooms and said, "Stay here for the night today, and I'll take you up the mountain tomorrow...... Oh, by the way, this is Bigu Dan, if you feel hungry, put it in your mouth for a while. ”

"Yes, Master!"

Lu Tao looked at the familiar pill in Li Xiuzhu's hand, and felt that the eight achievements here were the legendary Kunlun faction.

After the old man finished speaking, he left the courtyard, Li Xiuzhu stood in place and was silent for a while, then turned around and walked to the room behind him, pushed open the door, and there was only a bed and a somewhat shabby chair inside.

I don't know how long no one has been in the room, slowly it is dusty, and there is only a thin layer of quilt on the bed that I don't know who left here.

Li Xiuzhu took out the cup that he didn't know how long it had been lying in, hung it on the crossbar leading to the side in front of the door, and found a wooden stick from the other side, and patted the dust on the quilt unhurriedly until the quilt returned to its original color, and then he spread it in the sun again.

Lu Tao is a little anxious, now is the time to do this?

I don't know if it's because of what happened in the blank space in the middle, Lu Tao feels that Li Xiuzhu is more silent now than before, and the silence is terrifying.

After doing this, Li Xiuzhu began to lift water up from the well again, and the well water was a little turbid, and it was not until it was repeated several times that it was restored to clarification.

Seeing that the color of the water returned to normal, Li Xiuzhu began to undress again, and after a few minutes, Li Xiuzhu stripped off all his clothes, stood naked in place, and then began to pour cold well water on his head from head to toe.

It's so cool!
