Volume 2: A Thousand Miles of Escape Chapter 84: No one does it, I'll do it
In the next few days, Cheng Liang and his entourage lived in this small courtyard, fortunately, although the sparrows here are small, they have all the internal organs, so many people can live down, theoretically speaking, just wait for the reinforcements of Liren Villa here.
But even if Cheng Liang has long eyes and knees, he can see the undercurrent of the Shattered Sky Valley surging now.
The ninth gate of the longevity service outside the valley obviously will not come for sightseeing.
After Cheng Liang and the others settled down, Duanmu Lin left the courtyard, Cheng Liang thought that Duanmu's predecessors must be looking for a secluded place to practice martial arts.
Until he was wandering in the valley when he saw Duanmu Lin sweeping the floor.
That's right, the youngest disciple in retreat, the younger disciple who is sick in bed, the youngest disciple, the most onerous task every day is to sweep the floor in the valley.
Feng Chasu, who traveled with Cheng Liang, was not surprised at all.
"When I first came to Shattered Sky Valley when I was a child, the reason why I met Duanmu Senior was because back then, he also silently swept the floor in this valley. ”
The pace of summer is gradually fading, and the upcoming autumn days have made the leaves flying in the valley even more red, but more and more red is accumulating on the ground, which undoubtedly increases the workload of Duanmu Forest.
But as always, with that kind smile, as if he should be such a diligent gardener, doing this tiniest job for the mountain gate without regrets.
The disciples in the valley have different attitudes towards Cheng Liang, some are willing to come to talk to Cheng Liang, and there are some who are very sincere in their beliefs and are respectful to Cheng Liang.
But at the same time, there are also some who avoid Cheng Liang with complicated expressions.
The same thing is that except for Xiao Tong, no one will go to say a word to their little ancestor, even if their little ancestor will always smile at them.
Cheng Liang remembered a rumor that Feng Chai had mentioned to him that Duanmu Lin was not very good.
There is no little ancestor in the Shattered Sky Valley, only a small broom.
This sweep is 20 years of wind and sun, and thunder cannot be moved.
Cheng Liang asked Xiang Feng curiously: "Why is Duanmu's predecessor obsessed with sweeping the floor? This Broken Sky Valley occupies such a large area, how can one person sweep it clean?"
Xiao Tong didn't know when he walked by, and replied in a childish voice: "The master said that everyone knows that the Broken Sky Valley is too big, so no one likes to clean, but it is precisely because of this that he should stand up and clean."
No one can dare, he is a disciple of the master of the sect, and he can't do it. ”
Xiaotong, who is still young, is full of longing for his master when he says this.
Cheng Liang knew that Xiaotong's life was not easy.
Although her seniority is much higher than that of her peers, she can only hide from afar and watch others play and practice, even if a few people come up to chat with her, they will be immediately pulled away by their peers.
It was as if she and his master were the plague gods in the Valley of the Broken Heavens, but if they said more than half a sentence, they would be seriously ill.
But Xiaotong is never distressed or depressed, she will face others with a smile like her master, and after she is discarded, she will still cheer up and continue to work.
Cheng Liang had never seen Duanmulin take Xiaotong to practice, and what Xiaotong had to do every day was no different from her master, all of which was to take care of the courtyard and repair some flowers and plants.
If it weren't for the fact that when they first met, he had seen Duanmu Lin Liang with one hand, Cheng Liang would definitely feel that these two masters and apprentices were the two people in the Broken Sky Valley who helped with chores.
And the group of them stayed in the courtyard of a pair of 'miscellaneous' masters and apprentices, so you can imagine how embarrassing their situation was.
Cheng Liang and his entourage were taken by Xiaotong today to take the initiative to meet Duanmulin's senior brother, that is, the acting master who is seriously ill.
Cheng Liang really didn't want to stay in the courtyard and wait for death, especially Duanmu Lin's rhetoric was too mysterious, not to mention how his master in retreat contacted him, and second, not to mention the purpose of bringing them to live in the Shattered Sky Valley.
"Rest assured, Master has his own intentions. ”
Whether it is just such a sentence or the way Duanmulin sweeps the floor every day, it is difficult to reassure Cheng Liang and his party.
So Cheng Liang wanted to know what the situation was in this Broken Sky Valley.
"Bell, bell!"
Gong Miaotong slapped the door hard, "Uncle Liao open the door, I'm Xiaotong, I'm here to deliver the letter!"
One of Xiaotong's responsibilities is a part-time courier, and she will run all over the ground every day to deliver letters in the Shattered Sky Valley, which is simply a stepping stone for Cheng Liang to deliver to his eyes.
The door was opened, and a gray-haired old man stood behind the door, and compared to the disgusted expressions of the other people in the valley towards Xiao Tong, the old man took the letter with a smile.
Then when he saw Cheng Liang and the others following behind him, his face changed suddenly, and he hesitated briefly before wanting to close the door.
"Wait. ”
Feng chased the door with one step and one palm.
"I also hope that the old man will report it, and the divine envoy wants to meet the Broken Sky Valley Acting Sect Master. ”
As soon as Feng Chai's voice fell, he immediately frowned, and when he reached the door of the house, he couldn't help but take half a step back.
This old man is not a mortal!
"Everyone, please go back, the main body of the sect is weak and sick, and it is not suitable to meet the guests. ”
Seeing that the situation was about to develop in the direction of saber rattling, and the Suzaku were also going to step forward to help, Cheng Liang said in a timely manner:
"The divine envoy took the initiative to visit, but was rejected by the lord of the sect, so it was, I misunderstood, I misunderstood, I didn't know before I came, and the lord of the sect didn't believe in the god religion for a long time. ”
The greatest advantage of being a divine envoy is that you can unscrupulously button people's hats, and you don't have to use them in vain.
Cheng Liang thought that even if the old man had nothing to say, he was afraid that he would be unhappy and ridicule himself.
As a result, Uncle Liao smiled inexplicably bitterly, unloaded his strength on the door, and waved his hand as if he was in a hurry, "Forget it, what is still terrible so far, come in." ”
Although Cheng Liang didn't know what he meant, he still led people to step in, and just arched his hand to the old man with a little apology, "Forgive me, seniors, juniors are a little anxious, so they said some cruel words." ”
Uncle Liao still didn't answer the question, "You are the divine envoy who claims to be able to summon divine beasts?"
"It's the younger me. ”
Uncle Liao nodded, but his eyes looked at the Suzaku who followed behind him without saying a word.
"Well, it's like. ”
Then he turned around and left, "Come with me, everyone." ”
Cheng Liang didn't know why, and glanced at Feng Chai, both of them were full of doubts, what did this old man say?
It's just that Cheng Liang just walked forward, but found Xiaotong standing at the door, hesitating.
Cheng Liang looked back curiously and asked, "What's wrong Xiaotong, why don't you come in?"
Xiao Tong lowered his head and poked each other with two fingers in front of him.
"I ...... I might as well not go in. ”
"Why?"
"Those...... Those juniors and nephews are avoiding me, and if I come here, they must not welcome me, right?"
Cheng Liang felt pity in his heart, and just wanted him to walk back, but Suzaku stopped him.
Maybe it was because of what happened before, this time, she didn't choose to stop Cheng Liang strongly, but stood aside and suggested: "Master, the relationship between Duanmu Lin's master and apprentice and the rest of the Shattered Sky Valley is not very good, and it is also his personal intention to pick us up." ”
Cheng Liang sighed, he knew what Suzaku meant.
At such a critical moment, it is obviously a matter of procourse to bring someone who is obviously not welcome to meet someone.
They still don't know the reason why Duanmu Lin's master and apprentice were excluded from the sect, and with their current situation, they are not very suitable to intervene in the internal affairs of other sects.
But Cheng Liang still patted Suzaku with relief, and said with a smile: "It's okay, I know it in my heart." ”
He stepped forward, squatted in front of Xiao Tong and said, "Then Xiao Tong wants to come in?"
The Valley of Shattered Heaven is built with its own branches of its own courtyard.
And this generation of sect masters is undoubtedly one of the most powerful in the Shattered Sky Valley, compared to the small courtyard of Duanmu Forest, whether it is the size of the area or the number of disciples, it is simply the gap between the grasshopper and the big tree.
Xiao Tong hesitated for a while, and finally nodded timidly.
Cheng Liang didn't even know why she wanted to go in, but he still resolutely reached out and grabbed this little girl who was as gentle as her master.
"Don't be afraid, I'll take you in. ”
Xiaotong didn't refuse anymore and nodded happily.
"Hmm!"
Uncle Liao stood not far away, watching this scene, the old man did not stop it, but just whispered, "He is also very similar." ”
