39, something happened
Soon, Wu Zhong followed Gong Yan to his home.
Gong Yan's family lived in a corner of the village, and the two of them came to the door of the house after many turns. At this time, a woman is wearing a headscarf and an apron, feeding the only chickens and ducks in the house.
Gong Yan pushed open the door and said with a smile, "Mom, I'm back." ”
The woman put down what she was holding and squinted at the person in the sun. Looking left and right, he suddenly became happy: "My son is back!"
Gong Yan happily walked over, hugged his mother, and said with a smile, "Well, I'm back." I also brought guests back. With that, he pointed his finger at Wu Zhong.
Wu Zhong looked at Gong Yan's mother and hurriedly said, "Auntie is good." ”
Gong Yan's mother hurriedly smiled and said, "Hey, okay! Come in!"
Wu Zhong realized at this time that he didn't bring any gifts, and he was really a little ignorant, so he had to find an opportunity to go out and buy some later.
Wu Zhong walked into the house under the greeting of Gong Yan. The houses in the countryside of Lanling are different from those in the north, there is no kang here, only beds, and the living room is separated from the bedroom, unlike the north, there is no so-called living room, only a big room, where accommodation and reception are located.
"It's a bit messy at home, I clean up, and I don't call in advance when I come back. Gong Yan's mother said with a smile that her son's sudden return made her very happy. As he spoke, he was busy tidying up the house, putting away some clothes, and then boiling water to make tea for Wu Zhong.
Seeing this, Wu Zhong hurriedly said no, but was stopped by Gong Yan, and then cleaned up with his mother, leaving Wu Zhong to sit alone in the living room.
Gong Yan cultivated, naturally there will be no shortage of money on his body, and even if he doesn't, any jade on his body can be sold for cash, and he can get enough money. Judging from the dress of his house, he didn't find how extravagant it was, and it was a little shabby to say that it was ugly.
"When, when. The clock hanging on the wall announced the hour, and Wu Zhong saw that it was still the old-fashioned wall clock, which was swinging to tell the time at the moment.
Under the wall clock, there are two large red lacquered wooden boxes, covered with clean lace cloth, and then a few clean glasses are buckled upside down, and an iron pipe is placed next to it, which must be filled with tea, which should be used by visitors to drink tea on weekdays. Next to it, there is an old radio, which looks like it is some years old, but I don't know if it can still be used.
Turning his head, facing Wu Zhong's side, there was an old-fashioned big-headed TV, and it was no longer clear what brand it was. Next to it, there are some ornaments, plus other bits and pieces, Wu Zhong even saw a statue of Chairman Mao, which is rare. The whole house looks like a lot of things, but it is not cluttered, which shows that the owner is a person who loves cleanliness.
Wu Zhong looked around, although the whole family was not rich and noble, and even a little shabby, it had the feeling of a home that was not found elsewhere.
This feeling is the first time he has encountered it.
At this time, Wu Zhong saw a large photo frame hanging above the two large boxes, and many photos of different sizes were neatly placed inside. Wu Zhong walked over to take a look, and there were still some black and white photos inside.
Wu Zhong looked at it, the oldest one in those black and white photos was a little girl and a little boy, the two little guys were pursing their lips, wanting to laugh but not daring to laugh. There is also a picture of a baby, this photo is already colored, presumably Miyahiko. And Xiao Miyahiko's side is a man and a woman and a couple, the man is smiling happily, and the woman is looking at the child with a doting face. Presumably, this man is Miyahiko's father. Wu Zhong then looked at one, except for a family photo with this man, and this man was not seen in the photos after that.
"Look at the photos. Gong Yan walked in and said with a smile.
Wu Zhong responded with a smile: "This is you, right?" he said, pointing to the child in the photo.
Gong Yan smiled embarrassedly. That's when his mom walked in.
"You two pull it first, I haven't finished cleaning up over there. You make tea for others. Mother Gong Yan walked in with a fruit bowl and melon seeds, and then went out again.
"Senior brother, what about your father?" Wu Zhong asked.
"He died a few years ago. Wu Zhong was a little embarrassed when he heard this, and quickly apologized. Gong Yan said it didn't matter.
Gong Yan made a cup of tea and handed it to Wu Zhong. Then his mother walked in, beckoned him out, and whispered, "Give you some money, go buy some cooked food." There is nothing at home, and I don't say hello in advance when I come back. His mother smiled and took out a hundred dollars from her pocket and handed it to Miyahiko. Gong Yan said that he had money, and Wu Zhong, who was in the house, heard their conversation and hurriedly walked out and said that they would go together. Gong Yan took him out.
The two of them soon returned, and Wu Zhong carried several packets of supplements, and took almost every tonic in the small shop.
During the meal between the two, Gong Yan's mother sandwiched the dishes into her son's bowl from time to time, disgusting him for eating less, worrying about whether he usually ate less, and saying whether he was thin, which made Gong Yan a little embarrassed in front of Wu Zhong.
Wu Zhong watched from the side, smiled, and did not speak.
After eating, the two quickly got up and went back. Before leaving, Gong Yan's mother also took out a large bag of dried fruits and stuffed it to Wu Zhong, but Wu Zhong did not refuse, and nodded his subordinates.
Back at the Xiao family, Wu Zhong recalled everything today with a smile, and said with a smile: "Your mother is so good." ”
Gong Yan smiled and said, "You can go back at any time if you want to." ”
The next day, Wu Zhong got up early, and when he returned from cultivation, he saw a Taoist boy standing in the courtyard, and Gong Yan didn't know what to say, Gong Yan's face was a little serious, as if something had happened.
Seeing Wu Zhong coming back, Gong Yan said, "Just when you came back, the head of the family asked you to go with Gao Fei for something." ”
Wu Zhong wondered: "What's the matter?"
Gong Yan said with some seriousness: "It seems that something is wrong, and Jing'an Si came to ask for help." ”
When Wu Zhong heard this, he suddenly felt that this matter was a bit troublesome, otherwise Jing Ansi would not have come to the Xiao family to ask for help. Seeing that Xiao Daotong was still waiting, he changed his clothes and walked out with Gao Fei with him.
The three of them walked quickly to the Taihe Palace, and Wu Zhong was even more determined in his heart, if there was no major event, the Taihe Hall would not be activated.
When the three of them walked into the temple gate, it was already full of people, some Wu Zhong had seen it, and some had not. In addition to these ordinary people, there are also some Xiao clan members who are also impressively listed.
When Wu Zhong came in, he happened to see Zhu Ziming waving to him, so he pulled Gao Fei towards him.
"What's going on?" Wu Zhong walked up to Zhu Ziming and asked in a low voice.
Zhu Ziming said: "I heard that there were problems all over the country at the same time, and there were not enough people in Jing'an Division for a while, so I came to us and Langya Wang for help, hoping that we could help." You see, they're discussing. Wu Zhong followed his eyes, and sure enough, he saw that Xiao Quan and the person who came were talking with a color on their faces, but as for the content, it was too far away to hear clearly.
The two discussed for a while, and when they saw that the hall was fully staffed, they stood up.
Xiao Quan was the first to speak: "I summoned everyone to come here today at the invitation of Jing'an Division to do things. Then he pointed to the person next to him and said, "This is the secretary of the Jing'an Division, and he will explain the situation to everyone next." ”
Wang Sishi said with a smile on his face: "I'm sorry to disturb your Qing cultivation, but now there are problems in many places across the country at the same time, and all kinds of yin things have erupted. Due to the suddenness of the incident and the problems in many places, Jing'an Division was short of manpower for a while, so it had to ask for help from major families. I hope that you can look at the face of the people in the world and help Jing Ansi to shovel the yin. ”
"Dare to ask Si Shi Wang, what do you mean by femininity? Can you tell us more about it? One of the people standing in the front row said.
"It's nature. A few days ago, in a mountainous area north of Mukden, a landslide suddenly occurred, and although it caused casualties, when the local government sent people to check on it, no one survived, and all of them died. Immediately afterwards, similar situations occurred in Yiling, Changshan, and Yunzhong, and none of the people who explored survived. When the local government saw that the matter was strange, they suppressed it and reported it to the State Security Bureau. But there is no news back yet, but this morning I received new news that there are a total of 360 such strange areas across the country. Seeing that the situation was so urgent, Si Cheng discussed with other adults, and sent us to the major families to help, and at the same time notified the various sects to investigate the problems in their respective areas. ”
"So, now that news is out, what have you discovered, or what clues?" the man continued.
"I'm sorry to tell you that there is no information coming out at this time. One thing we can be sure of is that the few who went to investigate are not in danger of life for the time being. Wang Sishi said.
For a while, everyone listened to no one speak, and Xiao Quan saw this and continued: "Now the general situation of the matter has been told to everyone. I have summoned you here today not to force you to go, but to let you understand the matter, and then voluntarily assist the Jing'an Division. If you have no objections, you can decide to stay. I can guarantee that whoever goes, whether there is an accident or not, my Xiao clan will keep this matter in mind, and if he needs it in the future, I will do my best to help. Even if I don't go, my Xiao clan will not treat me differently because of this, so you can rest assured. ”
Wang Sishi continued: "Jing'an Siwei Sicheng promises that within the scope of Jing'an's acceptance, without harming others, he can help you with one thing. For example, the reincarnation realm. ”
Everyone didn't react just now, and when they heard the words reincarnation realm, they were in an uproar. Wu Zhong was puzzled and hurriedly asked Zhu Ziming. Zhu Ziming explained: "The reincarnation realm can help people remember the events of the previous nine lives, which is of great help to cultivators to behead the three corpses. Although no one can become an immortal now, beheading the three corpses is still something that cultivators pursue. ”
Wu Zhong listened thoughtfully, and suddenly he thought of something: "Can the matter of reincarnation also be found?"
Zhu Ziming smiled and said, "Of course you can." ”
"I'll go!" Wu Zhong suddenly shouted.
Xiao Quan was also worried that no one would go, after all, this matter was really weird, and Jing Ansi had opened such a big condition, which showed that things were tricky. Just as he saw that no one responded, he suddenly saw a person at the door suddenly shouting, and hurriedly looked over, it turned out to be him.
