Volume 2: A Thousand Miles of Escape Chapter 85: Chu Dai's Sect Master, Reluctantly Invited
The courtyard of the main branch of the Daimen, called 'Earthquake Heaven', is more rockery and boulders than a piece of greenery in the valley, and there are many carved figures standing in the courtyard, which is a well-known warrior in the past of the Shattered Sky Valley.
This is also the first time that Cheng Liang has seen the carving attainments and artistic arrangements in this world except for the cultivation of the North City, but it is also ingenious and ingenious.
A little less tranquil, a little more solemn.
He remembered that when he was repairing the northern city, he learned that some people would even use qi refining to repair such crafts as carving, wrought iron, and painting.
It's a way to hone your martial arts.
Could it be that Duanmu Lin sweeps the floor every day, which is also a kind of cultivation?
"Old-timers, this place is called 'Earthquake Heaven', and the courtyard of the seniors at that end has a name. β
Uncle Liao's footsteps paused, and it seemed that his name had not been mentioned for a while.
"Shake the sky. β
After entering the other courtyard, along the way, many disciples of this branch were watching along the road.
What made Cheng Liang more relieved was that he saw that many people had greeted him in the past few days, and he didn't want to be too repulsive to come to the sect master.
Only this time, after they saw Gong Miaotong beside Cheng Liang, they were all discouraged.
Cheng Liang subconsciously looked at Xiao Tong beside him, but saw that the little girl was grinning at herself indifferently, revealing a pair of cute little dimples.
Cheng Liang's heart tightened, and he tightened his grip on Xiaotong's hand.
The configuration of the annex is very chic, but the place where the lord of the house really lives is a very ordinary wooden house.
At the door of the wooden house, there was a rocking chair, and Uncle Liao sat on it and pointed to the door next to him, "Go in." β
After that, he sat back in the chair and closed his eyes, ignoring Cheng Liang and them.
Speaking of which, this old man's attitude towards Xiaotong is warmer than that of Cheng Liang, as if Cheng Liang is a big trouble in the eyes of his old man.
No, the process was so bright that he didn't care about it, and thanked Uncle Liao: "Thank you seniors." β
Xiaotong also said on the side: "Thank you Uncle Liao!"
Uncle Liao smiled and nodded.
Like its usual appearance, the dΓ©cor of the wooden house is almost rudimentary, except for a small table, a wooden bed, and a portrait on the wall.
A thin old man with gray hair, a withered yellow color, and an abnormally old age looking was sitting on the bed, and he had already heard the movement outside the door, and was quietly looking at Cheng Liang and the others who walked into the house.
Cheng Liang's first feeling was that this old man with a wrinkled face, who was logically sick and should be quite weak, but his eyes did not have the cloudiness that a patient who had been sick in bed for a long time should have.
Very divine, even sharp.
"Junior Cheng Liang, I have seen the master of the door. β
Since Cheng Liang, everyone has bent down and bowed respectfully to the current nominal door master of Shattered Sky Valley.
However, it is indeed difficult to imagine that this old man, who looks almost half a foot in the coffin, and Duanmulin are the same generation of senior brothers.
The acting master of the gate said on the bed: "Chu Yun, the acting master of the sect in Xia Sha Tiangu, has seen the Lord of the Divine Envoy, who is old and seriously ill, and cannot get out of bed to carry luggage, and hopes that the Lord of God will atone for his sins." β
Cheng Liang shook his head and greeted him.
If you want to be so respectful, can you wait until I come to visit and not see your disciples?
"Uncle Chu, I'm coming to see you!"
Gong Miaotong walked out of Cheng Liang's side, not only greeted the master of Chu with a smile, but also naturally ran to the small table next to the master of Chumen's bed, picked up a bowl with medicine on it, and handed it to the master of Chumen.
"Uncle Chu, why haven't you drunk this medicine yet?"
Seeing Gong Miaotong, the master of the Chu Sect immediately showed a kind smile, smiled and shook his head, "Don't worry, I'll drink it slowly later." β
Xiaotong was not polite at all, picked up the spoon in the bowl, scooped up a spoonful, put it to his mouth and blew it gently, "No, the medicine is cold, the effect of the medicine will pass, Grandpa Chu must not have drunk the medicine well during this time, Xiaotong fed grandpa as before." β
The thin Chu Sect Master laughed, although the wrinkles on his face made his smile not very good-looking, but he showed real joy, and responded with a smile, "Then it depends on Xiaotong." β
"Grandpa Chu, ah. β
Cheng Liang didn't interrupt the old and the young at all, at most they were a little curious, Xiaotong said that she was embarrassed to enter the 'Zhentian' courtyard, how did she have such a good relationship with the master of Chumen?
"I wasn't so sick before, and when I didn't move back here, Xiaotong took care of me every day. β
After drinking the medicine, it was Master Chu who knew what Cheng Liang and they were thinking roughly, and said slowly on the bed.
Then he stretched out his hand and touched Xiaotong's head.
Xiao Tong's eyes turned red in an instant, but he couldn't hold back the tears, just lowered his head and said softly: "Grandpa Chu, you ...... Are you okay?"
Cheng Liang saw that the arm of the master of Chu Men was no longer bloodless, but it was as stone-gray as a rock.
Sect Master Chu smiled and shook his head.
Xiao Tong sat on the chair next to the bed, his hands on his knees, and held his robe tightly.
The little hands trembled slightly.
raised his head, looked at Cheng Liang and the others, and said straight to the point: "The Lord of the Divine Envoy must also be able to see that the old man is already terminally ill, and I don't know how long it can be delayed, but it is destined to be incurable." β
Xiao Tong just wanted to raise his head to refute, but was stopped by the master of Chu Sect shaking his head.
"Lord Divine Envoy should have heard in advance, two years ago, the old decay I handed over all the power of the Shattered Sky Valley, and now, all the affairs of the Shattered Sky Valley have been handed over to the elders to take care of.
As for the fact that the adults will pass by the Shattered Sky Valley, I can also inform the adults that the debate in the valley is very fierce, and it is completely his personal idea for my junior brother to take the adults over. β
Cheng Liang didn't understand what the master of the Chu sect meant for a while, and asked in a deep voice, "What does the master want to say?"
The old but still divine eyes of the master of the Chu Sect looked directly at Cheng Liang, who was standing first, and said slowly: "Since the Lord of God has come, I want to ask the Lord for a favor in my personal capacity, not as the Sect Master of the Broken Sky Valley." β
Cheng Liang raised his eyebrows, this was obviously the one who sought help from all parties along the way, but as a result, whether it was the master of the Shi Alliance in Minshan or the head of Chu in Shattered Sky Valley, he had to help himself in the end.
"Senior Chu, please speak. β
Master Chu patted Xiao Tong beside him, "Fusion will occur in the Shattered Sky Valley soon, at that time, I don't ask God to make adults involved, but I hope that adults can protect Xiao Tong's safety." β
Outside the wooden house, Duanmulin didn't know when he also came here, he stood beside Uncle Liao, bowed his head and said, "Uncle Liao, I'm right, Master Cheng will definitely take Xiaotong into this hut." β
Uncle Liao, who was sitting leisurely on the recliner, raised his head, glanced at Duanmu Lin, and shook his head, "I didn't agree to bring Xiaotong into the valley at the beginning." β
"Well, I know. Duanmulin nodded, still smiling.
"So, it's Shattered Sky Valley who is sorry for her. β
Uncle Liao was silent for a moment, closed his eyes, and sighed.
"Actually, there's you. β
Duanmulin shook his head with a smile, "Uncle Liao, you know I don't care. β
Inside the house, Cheng Liang shrugged with a wry smile, although he had only been in contact for two days, and he had not yet exposed the mysterious veil on Duanmu Lin's master and apprentice, he really didn't mind protecting the gentle and lovely Xiaotong within the scope of his ability.
"Senior Chu, it's not that I don't want to, but I think there is no place in this world that is more dangerous than staying by my side. β
The master of the Chu Sect shook his head, "Then what if I say, now, only you can save her?"
Cheng Liang was stunned.
But at this point, he nodded firmly, "I will." β
"Risking your life?"
Seeing the Chu Sect Master's eyes suddenly becoming sharp, Cheng Liang scratched his head very sincerely.
"Not really. β
Outside the door, Duanmulin showed a knowing smile.
"Is it a little different from the one back then. β
Uncle Liao finally nodded.
"Ahem. β
The master of the Chu door in the house suddenly coughed violently, and Xiao Tong hurriedly wanted to get up, but he was still gently patted on the head by the master of the Chu family, indicating that it was okay.
The hand of the master of the Chu Sect pointed to the portrait on the wall.
"The reason why I trust adults is because I trust my little junior brother and my master.
The Shattered Sky Valley has long since lost the ambition of the Shattered Sky Valley, such a Shattered Sky Valley, since it can't be shattered, let him break himself. β
That portrait is a middle-aged man who is full of energy and has a heroic style between his eyebrows.
It is also the master of the Shattered Sky Valley who is in retreat.
