Chapter 32: The Heart Knot of Buns
Shangguan Zhi was also secretly surprised when he saw Qin Zheng coming alone, and Xing Pan was still far behind. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info
As soon as Qin Zheng stepped into the lobby, he turned around and closed the door, and finally couldn't see Xing Pan's old and obscene face, and his mood suddenly became comfortable.
"What, don't like him?" Shangguan Zhi looked at Qin Zheng with understanding, and then walked to the edge of the table as he spoke.
"It's not that I don't like it, it's very annoying. "The first time I saw someone, it made him so annoying, since the uncle and nephew of Fengyang Mansion, Xing Pan is the third, that is a kind of obscene atmosphere that exudes from his bones.
"What you told me last time, I checked. Shangguan Zhi opened a yellow booklet on the table, and flipped through the pages very casually, "That second-generation Shenhou crossbow was indeed destroyed, and it was handled by the current head of the family, so it is impossible to make a mistake." ”
Then he finally turned the yellow booklet to a certain page and handed it to Qin Zheng to read.
Qin Zheng glanced at it, on the yellowed paper, a line of words was about to fly up, it was difficult to read, but he could vaguely see that it was, "The destruction of the abandoned second-generation Shenhou crossbow has been completed." ”
The date is also written below this sentence, as well as a name, Shangguanqing.
"This is my grandfather. Shangguan Zhi muttered, then took the yellow booklet back and sandwiched it in a stack of paper materials on the table.
Qin Zheng frowned, a little puzzled, if the problem really didn't lie in the Hall of Cardinals, then what was the matter with those extra arrows and crossbows?
"But I do know one thing, I don't know if it has anything to do with it, if you have the heart, you can go and investigate. Shangguan Zhi said.
"What?" Qin Zheng raised his eyebrows, could it be that he had found something else?
"I've heard my father mention this, my grandfather had a good brother back then, who was the main force in the research and development of our hall, and then because a woman fell out and left the Cardinal Hall, the first Shenhou crossbow is the concept he proposed, the appearance of the second generation, he has at least two-thirds of the credit, but the second generation did not appear for long, he left, resulting in the development progress of our Shenhou crossbow has been repeatedly shelved, otherwise it is now the tenth generation. ”
When Shangguan Zhi said this, Qin Zheng also understood, and he put the suspect's hat directly on the head of the good brother.
But listening to what he said, this hat seems to make sense, and he also provides another direction of thinking, that is......
Could it be the second-generation Shenhou crossbow that the people who participated in the research made after leaving the Hall of Cardinals?
So he asked, "Apart from him, are there any other people involved in the research who have left?"
"Huh. Shangguan Zhi sneered and said, "Don't say that they don't have the ability to make ** at all, if they have, ordinary people want to leave with our results, do you think it's possible?"
Qin Zheng pursed his lips, and his heart was clear, perhaps because the people in the Cardinal Hall had given him a positive feeling of healthy and positive research for a while, he had forgotten that no big force would lack the dark side.
Then Shangguan Zhi means that he is almost certain that if it is the cardinal's problem, then the problem must be that man.
"Who's that man?"
"Alchemist Gu Lainian. ”
"Ancient years?" Qin Zheng was stunned, he always felt that this name was extremely familiar, he thought about it for a long time before he remembered, isn't this what Lin Xiyu told him, the maker of the three glazed exquisite horses?
But ...... "Isn't he dead?"
"That's what the outside world thinks about him, and for us, he's just missing, just judging by his age, maybe dead. ”
"Judging by age?"
"If my grandfather is still alive, he should be more than one hundred and fifty years old, we are not like you cultivators, we can prolong our lives, we people are day and night, immersed in research all day long, and our lifespan is generally slightly shorter than ordinary people, and if we can have a **ten, we can count it as a long life. ”
"But Gu Lai is different, he is a master of alchemy, I think he must have a way to extend his life. ”
"Then do you know, where to find the ancient next year?"
"Do you know which woman he and my grandfather fell out for?"
As soon as Shangguan Zhi asked, a name suddenly flashed in Qin Zheng's head, Xiao Baozi once told him that his grandfather was very fond of a woman at first sight.
Still, he asked uncertainly, "Who is it?"
"Blue Charm. ”
……
Until he went back, Qin Zheng was still entangled in his mind about who the Blue Charm Mother-in-law was.
If Shangguan Qing is still alive, he should be one hundred and fifty years old, and Gu Lai Nian and Lan Mei's mother-in-law should also be about one hundred and fifty years old.
The lifespan of ordinary people in the Soul Martial Continent is generally one hundred years old, and cultivators can generally live twenty more years because of their better physique, and one hundred and fifty years old can definitely be regarded as the longevity of longevity......
And I heard that this blue charm mother-in-law is still in very good health, which is simply demonic......
After Qin Zheng left Shangguan Zhi, he immediately gathered everyone and held a meeting about their follow-up itinerary.
The whole thing went around in a big circle, and in the end I still had to go to the Ethereal Peak.
"I've been making potions for the past two days, and then we'll set off, Yu'er, Coco, you see what necessities you have, they're all ready, there's still a distance from the Cardinal Hall to the Ethereal Peak. ”
Qin Zheng decided not to stay in the Cardinal Hall any longer.
"What do I have to prepare? Xiao Baozi pointed to his nose, wondering why Qin Zheng didn't assign him a task.
"Baozi, you just stay at home, anyway, I dropped out of school, and I just came home. "Qin Zheng didn't plan to bring a small bun this time.
"What!" Xiao Baozi was anxious, "Brother Zheng, let me go with you." ”
"Why are you coming with us?"
Qin Zheng thought that there was no need for Xiao Baozi to step on this troubled water with them again, he and Lin Xiyu were looking for the Lingguang Sect and looking for innateness, and he simply wanted to go out to find excitement.
"It's so boring here, I don't want to be in this place all day. ”
"Isn't your relationship with your father getting stiffer and stiffer? Lin Xiyu also began to persuade earnestly.
"It's just that I don't want to mess with him, so I want to leave, so as not to annoy him. Xiao Baozi said truthfully.
"Baozi, your three brothers are not in the hall. Qin Zheng suddenly mentioned Xiao Baozi's three elder brothers.
Xiao Baozi's expression flashed with a hint of sadness, "The eldest brother once went out to bring goods, and was robbed by a nest of mountain bandits, he was seriously injured in this battle, and finally died of serious injuries. ”
"After the death of the excellent eldest brother, my father was stricter with our remaining three brothers, I was still young at the time, and I didn't feel much, but all the burden fell on the second brother, once in order to study a formation, I drilled a bull's horn tip, and I couldn't drill it anymore, and then he went crazy and was locked up in a small courtyard in the back mountain by my father, and I haven't seen him for many years. ”
After that, the third brother, who had always been out-of-tle, felt that he couldn't stand the pressure his father brought him, so he ran away from home, and he still doesn't know where he is. ”
Xiao Baozi's tone was very lost, and everyone didn't expect that the Shangguan family would have such a story.
"So, are you also going to escape?" Qin Zheng looked at Xiao Baozi's slightly lowered head and said in a deep voice.
"Because of these inventions, my eldest brother lost his life, why? Because he has been devoted to research but he has not cultivated at all, but if someone has arranged it in advance, it is easy to kill him like killing an ant. ”
"Because of studying these formations, my second brother was driven crazy. ”
"And my third brother left home because he couldn't bear the pressure. ”
"So, what's the use of having a complicated mechanism? What's the use of a powerful formation? It's better to practice a sword. ”
"But as long as I'm here, he'll keep forcing me to learn formations, study mechanisms, and only carry forward the skills of the Cardinal's hall, which I don't like. ”
Xiao Baozi said a long list in one breath, which shows that these resentments have been lingering in his heart for a long time, and I am afraid this is the main reason why he has been working against Shangguan Zhi.
Qin Zheng pursed his lips, he could understand Xiao Baozi's thoughts a little, but he couldn't understand a little, because he didn't have a father.
Looking at Xiao Baozi's hesitant face, he knew that Baozi hadn't really made up his mind to go together, but was just a little willful.
After a long time, he said very seriously, "You are the only one by your father's side, if you decide not to take the path of mechanism and formation, I suggest that you can give him a grandson first." ”
"Poof. As soon as Qin Zheng's words came out, everyone present broke the work, those who drank water sprayed out, and those who didn't drink water were choked with saliva and coughed.
"Brother Zheng, Brother Zheng, you can joke. Xiao Baozi's face turned red, and he couldn't help but glance at Coco, who was sitting next to Qin Zheng.
"I'm serious, be serious. Qin Zheng didn't understand what he said, what was so surprising, wasn't this a good way?
So he added fuel to the fire and said, "And I think it may not be enough to have one, at least two or three." ”
"Ahem, ahem. They also seemed to have discovered Qin Zheng's seriousness, so they also replied as seriously as possible, "Zheng, Brother Zheng, it's too late, why do you have to conceive a baby in October, you won't be able to give birth for a while." ”
"Then you'll have to wait ten months to be free. ”
"Then the media is getting married, back and forth, and it will be two months. ”
"Then wait a year. ”
"But, but......" Xiao Baozi's face became redder and redder the more he spoke, and finally he said hesitantly, "But, where can I find a daughter-in-law to give birth to me?"
As soon as Xiao Baozi's words fell, everyone's eyes instantly turned to his side, only to see Pan Pan also blushing and saying with a small face, "Young, young master, Pan Pan is willing to live for you." ”
Qin Zheng nodded, and seemed to be very satisfied, "Very good, this is much simpler, this matter is settled......
