In the center of Nanyang City, where Zixuan Building is located. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info

There was a commotion outside the door, and the passing crowd surrounded the place, all of them looking like they were watching a play.

In front of the door of Zixuan Tower, Ran Hanchuan looked at the three people who were waving the wooden plank towards him, and took the long sword with the blue and black scabbard behind him with his backhand, and placed it across his chest, putting on the defensive posture of "Xingyun Sword Technique". The two people on the side, one finger was bitten by Xiaoqing fiercely, it was ten fingers connected to the heart, that kind of pain, I'm afraid it is difficult to understand if it is not the person concerned. The other grabbed Xiaoqing with both hands and wanted to tear it off, but the more he pulled his finger and the screams of the person who were bitten became more miserable, and he was in a dilemma for a while.

Seeing that the three wooden planks were about to smash up, suddenly an angry drink came out from the Zixuan Building.

"Stop!"

The sound of the break was very loud, and it spread to the surrounding crowd, and the suppressed anger of the owner who could hear the voice seemed to be about to vent. This break seemed to have some kind of strange power, and in the shouting, the two people who were in a stalemate with Xiaoqing were suddenly stunned in a trance, and Xiaoqing bit off the person's finger at this time, jumped to the ground, and ran to the side. The man was immediately pulled back from his trance in a heart-rending pain, and let out a scream like a pig.

The three people holding the planks in their hands suddenly stiffened, and the planks in their hands were actually unstable, and they all slipped to the ground, Ran Hanchuan saw this, and hurriedly took a few steps back, dodging the planks that fell freely.

Inside the Zixuan Building, the bloated middle-aged fat man, who looked bulky but extremely athletic, rushed out of the door with one arrow step, knocking the two guys in front of the door aside.

"You bastards-" The middle-aged fat man was about to flare up with anger, and suddenly saw a large number of people surrounding Zixuan Tower, and he didn't know how to do it, but the monstrous anger was suppressed in an instant.

Many people in the crowd of "Boss Deng" hugged their fists at the middle-aged fat man and greeted him. The middle-aged fat man returned the salute and said, "I'm really sorry that Zixuan Building was mismanaged and let everyone see the joke!" ”

There were a few coaxes in the crowd, but the middle-aged fat man seemed to have some kind of strong appeal, and in his humble voice, most of them chose to clasp their fists and salute and left.

The crowd present gradually dispersed, the middle-aged fat man snorted coldly, and the three guys holding the planks were in a cold sweat and hurriedly retreated to the side. Ran Hanchuan looked up, the figure in front of him was bloated, quite tall, with quite upright facial features on a fleshy face, a little sunken eyebrow bones, a pair of eyes that were not too big, and a smile on his mouth, looking at him.

After the middle-aged fat man saw Ran Hanchuan, his smile suddenly froze, and his eyes were a little weird, not that the middle-aged fat man was prejudiced against Ran Hanchuan, but because his outfit was too unsightly, not to mention his tattered robe, it was also covered with dirt and dust, and the hair on his little head was scattered, I don't know how many days I hadn't taken good care of myself, and his little face was also black and full of dirt.

After Ran Hanchuan fought that night in the small village, his clothes became like this, in the raging fire, his face was also covered with charcoal ash, but he grew up in the mountains, and he didn't care too much about it, which made the pedestrians all the way look sideways, never thought that such a beggar-like child could still enter Nanyang City, it's really strange, strange!

The fat in the corners of the middle-aged fat man's eyes twitched very obviously, cleared his throat, and said softly: "Child, are you here to find someone?" ”

Ran Hanchuan looked at the richly dressed fat man in front of him, nodded and said, "Yes, I'm here to find Uncle Deng." ”

"Ahh Ha ha! The fat man suddenly laughed, "Okay, sure enough, I'm here to find your Uncle Deng." The corners of the fat man's mouth suddenly pursed with a smile, and he didn't know what to think in his deep eyes, and after looking at Ran Hanchuan again, he said lightly: "Child, you go in first." ”

Ran Hanchuan said "oh", although he was a little confused, he still called Xiaoqing on the side, hugged him, and walked in.

The middle-aged fat man's eyes suddenly froze, making the five guys in front of the door shudder. "Humph! You five bastards, go in first, I'll deal with you later! As he spoke, he bowed his wide sleeved robe, turned around and walked into the building.

The five guys didn't dare to slack off, and hurriedly rushed in, and before leaving, they didn't forget to pick up the broken finger, and wiped the blood in front of the door in a panic.

After a while, in front of Zixuan Building, it returned to the appearance of a city, and there was an endless stream of guests coming in and out.

The Zixuan building is extremely exquisite, the entire lobby is splendid, countless diners are here to enjoy the rich food that Ran Hanchuan has never seen, the corridor on the second floor is extremely wide, there are no fences on all sides, there are several dancers on all sides who are exquisitely dressed and gorgeous, and their bodies are also like fairies dancing beautifully, and the sound of instrumental music that Ran Hanchuan has never heard of is whirling around the beam with a beautiful melody.

The third and fourth floors also have slightly wider walkways, and behind the carved fences, there are a few tables, and the guests who drink and chat, watch and listen are obviously higher than the guests in the lobby. At the top of the fourth floor is a large ceiling with many beautiful frescoes, gold ornaments, and dozens of glittering round stones. Between the lobby and the ceiling on the first floor, there are four huge pillars with incomparably thick ceiling beams, each of which hovers with a peculiar animal relief, one of which Ran Hanchuan recognizes, it should be a "dragon".

The next three floors are blocked by ceilings, and it is not known what they are used for.

Ran Hanchuan's eyes widened, and he looked at this strange and luxurious scene in surprise, and he was speechless. The middle-aged fat man smiled, beckoned a fellow, and said, "You take this child down to freshen up, change into clean clothes, and then bring it to my room." Then he turned back to the five trembling men and said, "You wait in the courtyard for me!" Then he called the account office on the side and advised: "Old Duan, you help me take care of it, I have some personal affairs." ”

The old bookkeeper, known as Lao Duan, nodded, and said with a smile: "The shopkeeper can rest assured!" ”

Behind the lobby of Zixuan Building is a quiet courtyard, in the middle of the largest room, the middle-aged fat man is looking at Ran Hanchuan after some cleaning, seeing that he is still young, but he is already full of heroism, and his body bones look quite tough, nodding and motioning for him to do it aside.

Ran Hanchuan looked at a textured mahogany chair in front of him, blinked his curious eyes, but fortunately, he didn't care about thirty-seven twenty-one, and sat down.

"Are you Ran Hanchuan?" The middle-aged fat man suddenly spoke, and Ran Hanchuan, who was looking at the mahogany chair sitting down, raised his head, looked at the fat man, and replied, "Yes!" ”

The middle-aged fat man narrowed his eyes and asked again, "I am friends with Yun Xingtian," the fat man's words made Ran Hanchuan's eyes light up, "I don't know if Yun Xingtian's old illness that hurts his body and bones as soon as he arrives on a rainy day is healed?" ”

Ran Hanchuan was stunned, made a look of contemplation, and replied after a while: "Uncle Yun, he has never had such a problem, when it rains, he is obviously fine, and he is still outside to supervise me to practice swordsmanship!" ”

The middle-aged fat man let out an "oh" and said, "Then what swordsmanship did your Uncle Yun teach you?" ”

"Xingyun Sword Technique." Ran Hanchuan replied casually.

"Good! Then let Uncle try it! The middle-aged fat man shouted, and a guy outside the door brought up two wooden swords and asked Ran Hanchuan to take one for himself. Ran Hanchuan didn't understand very well, it seemed that the uncle in front of him wanted to try his swordsmanship, so he took one of them and jumped off the chair to set up a posture.

The middle-aged fat man nodded, took another wooden sword, and without saying much, he stabbed Ran Hanchuan three times in a row. These three swords are neither fast nor ruthless, and it seems that they are indeed trying Ran Hanchuan, and Ran Hanchuan easily blocked them with the first style of swordsmanship, "Cloud Gathering".

The middle-aged fat man smiled with satisfaction, returned to the chair, and said, "Child, you are in a hurry, you must be hungry too, I have prepared for you the wild mountain mushroom stewed meat soup that Yun Xingtian guy likes to eat, you go eat some first!" I guess that guy should always let you eat this. ”

When Ran Hanchuan heard this, he hurriedly shook his head and said, "No, no, no!" Thank you, uncle, although Uncle Yun likes to eat this dish, but I never eat it, I hate eating mountain mushrooms! ”

When the middle-aged fat man heard this, his frowning brows suddenly relaxed, and he suddenly burst out laughing. Ran Hanchuan was hugged by the middle-aged fat man in a daze, and the fat man smiled with tears in his eyes, "Hahaha!" What Yun Xingtian's bastard said is true! It turns out that Brother Ran really has a widow! ”

Ran Hanchuan can't figure out the situation now, but listening to the words of "Brother Ran" and "Lost Son", there is an inexplicable throbbing in his heart.

"Haha! Hanchuan, Hanchuan, you are called Ran Hanchuan! The middle-aged fat man didn't know if he was asking him or what, Ran Hanchuan was very strange, didn't he tell him before he came in?

"Han Chuan, are you here to find Uncle Deng?" The fat man's face was excited, the fat on his face was shaking, Ran Hanchuan looked at him and thought of the fat secreted when he roasted the pig, the child seemed to be hungry again.

"yes!" Ran Hanchuan nodded.

"I am! I am! The middle-aged fat man's excited voice continued. I am your father and your uncle Yun Xingtian's good brother, Deng Manquan! ”

Ran Hanchuan was stunned, and for a while all thoughts were in his heart, "Your father and Uncle Yun Xingtian's good brother", only such a sentence echoed in his mind. My father? Am I not an orphan adopted by Uncle Yun? His heart was very confused, and he didn't know whether to be happy or sad, "Didn't you always want to know about your parents?" That uncle will tell you" Yun Xingtian's message in the wooden house, Ran Hanchuan also thought about it at this time. It turns out that I have parents?

"Child, child, Hanchuan? Hanchuan, what's wrong with you? Looking at Ran Hanchuan, who was demented, and seeing his motionless appearance, Deng Manquan couldn't help but become anxious in his heart, and hurriedly called.

Ran Hanchuan came back to his senses, looked at Deng Manquan slowly, and asked with difficulty: "Uncle Deng, you just said that I have a father?" ”

Deng Manquan's face was shaking, and his fat suddenly froze, and his eyes seemed to be shining with some kind of memory, and he seemed to be very sad.

"Yes, you are not an orphan adopted by your Uncle Yun." Deng Manquan once received a letter from Yun Xingtian, which wrote some things about Ran Hanchuan. "You are my brother and Yun Xingtian, the son of our eldest brother Ran!" His voice trembled a little, and it was an indescribable emotion. "It turns out that I didn't know that Brother Ran had a son like you, that bastard of Yun Xingtian! He hid from me for ten years! It's been ten years, and I just recently learned about it! ”

"Who is my father?" Ran Hanchuan's voice was persistent.

Deng Manquan hesitated for a long time before answering him: "Hanchuan, now is not the time to tell your father, that is not good for you!" ”

Ran Hanchuan was stunned, looking at Deng Manquan and Uncle Yun's almost identical resolute expressions, a trace of hope in his eyes also disappeared. "So, can you tell me my father's name first?"

Deng Manquan shook his head slowly and said solemnly: "No!" Hankawa, believe me, this is done to protect you! ”

"Then, when will you tell my parents about it!" Ran Hanchuan suddenly shouted loudly. Deng Manquan looked at him quietly, touched his head, and said: "When you are strong enough, strong enough, strong enough, solid enough in your shoulders, and mature enough in your mind, you will not hear about your parents again, just like now, you can know!" His voice was very pertinent, full of hope and exhortation.

Ran Hanchuan nodded, and said with a firm expression: "I will do it!" ”

"Hanchuan, you are dressed in tatters, how did the city guards let you in?" In the backyard of Zixuan Building, there was a willow round table, which was filled with countless cherished dishes, all of which were delicious foods that Ran Hanchuan had never eaten. Xiaoqing also followed suit, enjoying the delicious pieces of meat on the side.

Ran Hanchuan was putting a mouthful of soup into his mouth, hurriedly swallowing it, and asked, "What are the city guards?" ”

"Uh" Deng Manquan was also very unfamiliar with this little guy who didn't understand anything, and patiently explained: "It's the guards who commanded the city gate to enter the city!" ”

"Oh! Is it a big uncle with a weapon and a fierce one? ”

"Ahh Should... Sort of! ”

"They took my purse and let me in!" Ran Hanchuan said very casually, and grabbed an unknown piece of meat with one hand and put it in his mouth.

"These guys!" Deng Manquan muttered viciously, and asked again: "Hanchuan, you said, if anyone bullied you after entering the city, tell me!" I'll give you a breath! ”

Ran Hanchuan was stunned, and hurriedly shook his little hand and said, "No, no, thank you Uncle Deng, how can I remember this, I have to go to them, how troublesome!" ”

"Hahaha! Good! But I'm going to have to punish those five bastards who bullied you outside the building first! As he spoke, with a wave of his hand, the five people in the courtyard who were watching Ran Hanchuan eating and drinking drooling hurriedly walked over, bent over, and sneered.

"You two!" Deng Manquan pointed to the two people who stopped Ran Hanchuan at the beginning, the two nodded in fear and stepped forward, one of them had a very pale face, it was the person who was bitten off by Xiaoqing. "You can go home after you get your penalty!"

Before the expressions of the two changed, Deng Manquan's fat fingers pointed at the other three again, and said: "You, you dare to help their arrogance, and dare to bully my nephew, don't think about taking half a year's salary!" In addition, you are responsible for giving the two of them a hundred boards, and if anyone dares to show mercy, go home and farm!" ”

The faces of the three were very bitter, and the faces of the other two were full of despair, they had already regretted dying thousands of times in their hearts, if they had known that a tattered wild boy was such a little ancestor, who would dare to provoke him!

The screams of killing pigs echoed in the courtyard, Ran Hanchuan listened while eating, it seemed that he was still very energetic, the grievances and anger in his heart disappeared at this moment, and his good impression of Uncle Deng in front of him was also doubled.

What Ran Hanchuan didn't know was that a day later, the guards at the city gate were replaced, and the previous batch was said to have been dropped elsewhere to work as coolies. After the two who bullied him returned home, they had no source of livelihood, and they were injured again, and they were recuperating at home, but just three days later, both of them mysteriously disappeared, as if the world had evaporated, as if they had never been these two.

In the courtyard, Deng Manquan pulled Ran Hanchuan to ask for warmth, which made Ran Hanchuan very moved, and led him to a room and told him that this was his posthumous residence.

When he heard the three black-robed people on Yunxiao Mountain, Deng Manquan's expression was very ugly, and he heard that Ran Hanchuan met a black-robed man in the same dark clothes on the road, he was stunned for a moment, and then Ran Hanchuan showed the disc-shaped utensils to Deng Manquan.

As soon as Deng Manquan saw this plate, the astonishment on his face was immediately replaced by an indescribable ugly expression, as if he recognized this kind of thing.

"Uncle Deng, what's wrong with you? Do you recognize this thing? ”

Deng Manquan's fat big hand patted his head, and said with a dry smile: "I don't recognize, I don't recognize, I just told you, those black gases seem to be formed because of this plate, I am very surprised, hehe!" As he spoke, he took the plate-shaped utensils from Ran Hanchuan's hand and said, "Hanchuan, according to what you said, the purpose of this plate is very evil, and it is very unsafe for you to carry it with you. ”

Ran Hanchuan didn't express any objection to this, after all, he had seen Yun Xingtian's power, and he naturally thought that Deng Manquan was just as powerful.

The next day, Ran Hanchuan yawned and walked out of the room, stretching his waist, this sleep was the most comfortable sleep he had ever slept on, the soft bed was really a pleasure.

In the early morning courtyard, birds chirp and dew shines on the blades of grass.

"Hanchuan, it's so early!" Deng Manquan also stood in the courtyard at some point, looking at Ran Hanchuan with a smile.

"Yes, I usually get up so early, if I sleep too late, Uncle Yun will beat me!" Ran Hanchuan replied.

"Yun Xingtian, bastard, why are you so harsh!" Deng Manquan took Ran Hanchuan's little hand, looked at him carefully, and said, "Hanchuan, although your Uncle Yun is very harsh, it is also for your good!" I don't have the big stone that your Uncle Yun gave you to exercise, and I can't teach you as well as Yun Xingtian can teach you swordsmanship. But you must not slack off in practice, you know? ”

Looking at Ran Hanchuan's obedient nod, Deng Manquan touched his little head and continued: "That's it, Hanchuan, in the future, you will practice swordsmanship by yourself every morning, my swordsmanship is not good, I can't teach you anything, I can only rely on your own practice, after breakfast, you will go to the woods next to Nanyang City to chop firewood, and you have to carry the firewood back by yourself, can you do it?" ”

"It can be done!" Ran Hanchuan lowered his head heavily.

"Good! More importantly, do you know why Yun Xingtian asked you to come to me? ”

Ran Hanchuan shook his head, and Deng Manquan continued: "You grew up in the mountains since you were a child, you are not familiar with this world, you don't know this world, and you can't see this world clearly. ”

Ran Hanchuan didn't understand very well, nodded and said, "I'll remember!" ”

"Hmmm! So from today on, you will help me in Zixuan Building, I will arrange some things for you, and you must do it seriously! ”

"Good!".

From this day on, Ran Hanchuan finally began to truly integrate into this new world that was strange and curious to him.
