In a valley not far from Luoyang City, on a grassy meadow; There is a nameless grave without a tombstone, although the grave has no tombstone; However, it is very atmospheric, and the surrounding area is full of pines and cypresses and a lot of flowers and trees; You can see that someone has taken good care of the place.

Xu Ziling took his concubine Xuan and Xu Nianzhong's family of three to stand quietly in front of the grave, when Xu Ziling woke up, he learned that Kou Zhong wanted to give him a chance to survive; And after he chose to die, Xu Ziling locked himself in the house for seven days and seven nights.

No one knows what Xu Ziling has been thinking about in the past seven days and seven nights? Even Shi Feixuan didn't know what Xu Ziling thought in those seven days and seven nights.

On the seventh day, Xu Ziling, who had been locked in the house, finally opened the door and walked out of it; Then he left Chang'an City with the intact body of Kou Zhong that was kept by Li Xiuning, and buried Kou Zhong in a beautiful place outside Luoyang City.

Xu Ziling stood silently in front of Kou Zhong's grave, and said silently in his heart: "Zhong Shao, I brought Concubine Xuan and Zhong'er to see you; Time flies, more than twenty years have passed in the blink of an eye; Zhong'er has also grown up, and Concubine Xuan and I are also old. ”

People are so strange, the older they get, the more they miss the people and things they used to be; Xu Ziling's mind at this moment was full of bits and pieces of his past with Kou Zhong, and he couldn't help but feel a lot of emotion for a while.

Because every year Xu Ziling will bring his concubine Xuan and Xu Nianzhong's mother and son to worship Kou Zhong, so some habits for Xu Ziling; Concubine Xuan and Xu Nianzhong, mother and son, can be said to have been accustomed to it for a long time.

As soon as I looked at Xu Ziling's posture, the two people of Concubine Xuan and Xu Nianzhong's mother and son knew it; His husband (father) is missing his good brother (his father-in-law) again, so Concubine Xuan and Xu Nianzhong's mother and son did not make a sound to disturb Xu Ziling; Just quietly accompanied Xu Ziling's side.

"Zhong'er."

After a long time, Xu Ziling finally came out of his memories; said to Xu Nianzhong: "Come here, kowtow to your father-in-law; Have a good worship. ”

"I see, Daddy!"

Xu Nianzhong can be said to have grown up listening to Kou Zhong's deeds since he was a child, and naturally knows how good his father's relationship is with this stepfather who has never met; And for all the deeds of Kou Zhong's life, Xu Nianzhong admires it even more, and in Xu Nianzhong's heart, he respects Kou Zhong no less than Xu Ziling, his biological father; immediately obediently responded to Xu Ziling's words.

Xu Nianzhong walked to Kou Zhong's tomb with the food box in his hand, Xu Nianzhong half-squatted down in front of Kou Zhong's tomb and opened the food box; took out Kou Zhong's favorite food from it and placed them in front of Kou Zhong's tomb one by one.

At the same time, Xu Nianzhong changed his habit of saying little in the past, and half-squatted in front of Kou Zhong's tomb and nagged at Kou Zhong's grave: "Father-in-law, Zhong'er has come to see you; This time, Zhong'er went to the grassland, and also went to the desert by the way; In addition to seeing the customs and customs of the grassland and desert that are different from our Central Plains, Zhong'er also met a few new friends who can be talked to. ”

“…… This time, Zhong'er also went to Yangzhou, where you and your father stayed when they were children; And following what my father told Zhong'er about the places where my father-in-law and my father had stayed, this Yangzhou city is really very lively and prosperous......"

Xu Nianzhong took out a small jar of fine wine from the food box: "Father-in-law, this is the most famous good wine Qionghua drunk in Yangzhou City; Daddy said, father-in-law, you have been thinking about it for a long time...... This was specially brought by Zhong'er from Yangzhou City to his father-in-law. ”

Xu Nianzhong grew up from childhood to adulthood, every time he came to worship Kou Zhong; always likes to narrate what happened to Kou Zhong from childhood to adulthood, and when Xu Nianzhong starts to travel; Every year, when worshipping Kou Zhong, Xu Nianzhong will talk about some of his experiences outside in front of Kou Zhong's tomb; These have become a habit of Xu Nianzhong.

However, Xu Nianzhong didn't nag in front of Kou Zhong's grave for too long, because Xu Nianzhong knew that compared to himself; His father, Xu Ziling, had more to say to his stepfather, Kou Zhong.

After Xu Nianzhong worshiped Kou Zhong, he said goodbye to Kou Zhong and left hand in hand with his concubine, mother and son; In front of Kou Zhong's grave, only Xu Ziling was left quietly clubbing.

Xu Ziling slowly walked to Kou Zhong's grave and sat on the ground, but her mind was full of the bits and pieces that she and Kou Zhong had experienced since childhood; those things that stole chickens and dogs together with Kou Zhong when they were teenagers, and even abducted them in order not to go hungry; He and Kou Zhong did not do less back then.

In retrospect, those things seem like they were all over the place; It's so far away, yet it's as clear as if it happened yesterday.

"Zhong Shao, you have not been by my side for so many years; To be honest, I'm really not used to it, and I don't even have someone to talk to and talk to. Xu Ziling muttered to Kou Zhong's grave with a lonely face.

Kou Zhong died, and Wan Wan also broke the void and left this world; Even if he has always been accompanied by his concubine, but since he understands who the person he desires and cares about the most in his heart; Xu Ziling always felt that the tacit understanding between himself and Concubine Xuan was no longer what it used to be, and there was a faint estrangement between him and Concubine Xuan.

So many times Xu Ziling is very empty and lonely in his heart, but Xu Ziling didn't lie to Kou Zhong about this; For Xu Ziling, on the contrary, there is only a time to come to worship Kou Zhong every year; His heart is the most peaceful.

In the past, at this time of year, although Concubine Xuan and Xu Nianzhong's mother and son would leave Kou Zhong's cemetery early; But he didn't go too far, but waited for Xu Ziling to come by the stream not far from Kou Zhong's cemetery.

It's just that this time it's obviously different, Concubine Shi glanced at Xu Nianzhong, who looked almost the same as Xu Ziling next to her; Gently and lovingly, he said, "Zhong'er, my mother has told your father before; After worshipping your father-in-law, you are going to Luoyang City to visit an old friend you haven't seen for a long time, Zhong'er, do you want to go with your mother? Your father will spend the whole day at your stepfather's grave, and it's not a matter for you to wait here. ”

Every time Xu Ziling came to worship Kou Zhong, he would not leave until dark; This habit has been maintained for more than twenty years.

In the past, Shi Feixuan and Xu Nianzhong, mother and son, would wait here until it was dark; After Xu Ziling came out of Kou Zhong's cemetery, the family of three left together.

However, this time, when Concubine Xuan left the secluded forest building, she received a letter from Cihang Jingzhai's flying pigeon; Knowing that the new saint of her master will leave her master to train on the rivers and lakes, Luoyang City is the first place where the other party will come after leaving Cihang Jingzhai.

As the last saint of Cihang Jingzhai, Concubine Xuan naturally wants to meet the nephew who is about to take over as the new saint of Cihang Jingzhai; As for wanting Xu Nianzhong to go with him, it was just a temporary suggestion from the concubine.

cough cough cough ...... Of course, here Shi Fei Xuan still has some other careful thoughts in it; Xu Nianzhong is twenty years old this year, and Concubine Xuan has never heard that her son likes a favorite girl.

When the son is older, the things that he naturally has to worry about as a mother gradually increase, Xu Nianzhong does not stay in the secluded forest all year round and does not have many days; Shi Feixuan was really a little worried, one day when Xu Nianzhong went home; No longer one person, but two people.

Of course...... Let the concubine have scruples, the most worrying thing; It is better than that the girl that Xu Nianzhong will bring back to the secluded forest in the future will be the heir of the Demon Gate, such as the heir of the Yin Sect.

For so many years, although it is said that the Yin Sect has not made any strong winds and waves on the rivers and lakes; Hehe...... The former Yin Queen Zhu Yuyan has been dead for many years, and Wan Wan has taken over the Yin Sect; It didn't take long for the shattered void to leave this world.

Hehe...... As for Wanwan's apprentice Mingkong?

At this time, Mingkong was in the palace under the pseudonym Wu Cao, and he was a very inconspicuous little talent, and he had already been the shopkeeper; To put it mildly, today's Yin Sect doesn't want to be so low-key; It's that the dragons in the sect have no leader, and they can't handle things in their own sect; Where do you still have the heart to worry about the things on the rivers and lakes.

These things are internal matters of the Yin Sect, not to mention that Concubine Xuan has been living in seclusion in the secluded forest for many years; Naturally, I won't know the □□ here, that is, Cihang Jingzhai has always had people who have been trained in the rivers and lakes; It is also not clear that these are highly classified things belonging to the Yin Sect.

"No need mother."

Xu Nianzhong shook his head and directly rejected Concubine Xuan's proposal, he smiled slightly and said: "The child also has one or two close friends in Luoyang City, and one of them is the head catcher of Luoyang City; A few days ago, the other party once sent a book to me, saying that there was a flower thief in Luoyang City recently; Many young and beautiful women have been killed in Luoyang City, and the other party hopes that the child can help him find out the flower thief; And bring them to justice. ”

When Concubine Xuan heard Xu Nianzhong's words, she didn't feel much surprised; After all, although Xu Nianzhong is the son of her and Xu Ziling, he is closer to Kou Zhong's informality, enthusiasm and generosity in personality.

In the past few years, Xu Nianzhong has spent most of his time traveling in the rivers and lakes every year, because of Xu Nianzhong's personality; The friends he made were all kinds of people, so after hearing Xu Nianzhong's words; Concubine Xuan didn't feel surprised.

Xu Nianzhong's words were not used to perfunctory his mother, Du Houxuan, the chief catcher of Luoyang City, was indeed a good friend of Xu Nianzhong.

Recently, there has been a flower thief in Luoyang City, which can be said to have caused panic, and Du Houxuan, who is the chief catcher, is busy with everything; Du Houxuan can become the chief catcher of Luoyang City, and he is also a person with some real skills, but it is a pity that although Du Houxuan has laid out several times; But every time, he fell short at the most critical time and let the other party escape.

For this flower thief, Du Houxuan also invited a lot of people in the rivers and lakes to help; It's a pity that the people in the rivers and lakes who can be invited as Du Houxuan are naturally limited, and they can't be the top masters of the realm of great masters like Xu Ziling and Shi Feixuan; Even a master of the Grandmaster realm like Xu Nianzhong could not be invited with an identity like Du Houxuan.

As more and more young and beautiful women were killed in Luoyang City, the pressure on Du Houxuan, the chief catcher of Luoyang City, would naturally increase.

Where are the masters? How can I invite a real supreme master to come and help me, because of this matter, Du Houxuan almost turned his head white.

As the saying goes, when there is pressure, there will be motivation; This sentence is not wrong at all, Du Houxuan will be overwhelmed by the great pressure on his body every day; On the contrary, it reminded him that among the friends he made, there was a person who was really strong in martial arts.

This person is none other than Xu Nianzhong.

However, Du Houxuan also knew that Xu Nianzhong would rarely be at home, holding a dead horse as a live horse doctor; Du Houxuan sent a letter to Xu Nianzhong Feige asking for help with a little apprehension, hoping that Xu Nianzhong could help him after receiving the news. 166 Reading Network
