Finally waited for Xue Yun to meet, Xue Yun was safe and sound, and even promoted to Jindan, there was not much to worry about, early the next morning, Su Run and Zhou Yan left in a hurry and returned to Naughzhou.

Qiaozhou is located at the northernmost tip of the Kyushu mainland, bordering Mianzhou, Zhongzhou, Chenzhou, Yuanzhou and Cangzhou from west to east. If you want to go back to Qiaozhou, you can start from Yuanzhou and go all the way north. Yuanzhou is barren and few people, and the monks don't often set foot there, so Su Run and Zhou Yan are together, and they can be regarded as stable. Although Su Run is worried about the Demon Palace, it is very safe to calm down in the end, and taking care of Zhou Yan, who is a little restless, can also make the remaining few people feel at ease.

After Su Run and Zhou Yan left, only Xue Yuan, Xiao Luo, and Li Yanning were still in the town.

Li Yanning's injuries were indeed very serious at that time, and even died nine times at one time, but by the time Xue Yuan, who had been delayed for a long time, came to Yuanzhou, he was already half better, and he was only a little weak and needed to recuperate.

Zhou Yan left a lot of medicinal herbs and prescriptions before leaving, and Li Yanning's condition has always been good. It's just that Li Yanning is not as lucky as Xiao Luo, she was seriously injured and did not damage the foundation and broke it, and then immediately entered Jindan, although Li Yanning was seriously injured, although her life was worry-free and she recovered her body, her cultivation fell from the fourth floor of the foundation to the second layer of the foundation.

It's just that she has a very good mentality, just like what she had with Xue Yun before, as long as she didn't implicate the family and didn't bring trouble to her sister to get out of that fire pit, everything was worth it.

After Xue Yun brought Li Yanran's jade carved cat to Li Yanning, Li Yanning, who was still in good spirits while recuperating from her injuries, picked up the needle and thread and started to make things to pass the time.

Xue Yun and Xiao Luo have both been promoted to Jindan, and they don't have to eat and drink from time to time, only because the two of them are used to the days with fireworks, and they don't think about abolishing their original habits when they have to retreat, and secondly, Li Yanning is still injured in the early stage of foundation building, and diet and decoction are indispensable, and third, they hide in this town with few people and never reveal their identity as cultivators, pretending to be ordinary people, naturally they can't make people suspicious. Therefore, three meals a day in the hospital have always been a meal.

Moreover, it has always been Xiao Luo who cooks.

Since he started talking in Lingling City, Cangzhou, Xue Yuan has not been polite to Xiao Luo in these matters.

When Li Yanning's share of the superintendent was served, Xue Yun came out and sat down on the edge of the table in the courtyard, holding his chin with his hand and looking at Xiao Luo, who was eating from the stove room.

Xiao Luo walked up to Xue Yuan, and while putting the plate in his hand on the table, he glanced at Li Yanning's room.

Xue Yun didn't know why, followed Xiao Luo's gaze, and saw that the door was closed, and it was the appearance that he had specially closed when he came out after delivering dinner.

Before Xue Yu could say anything more, the man standing in front of her suddenly leaned over and cast a shadow in front of her.

Then, there was a burst of softness on his forehead.

Xue Yun was stunned for a moment, and when she raised her eyes to look, she saw Xiao Luo, who had already stood up straight, hooking the corners of her mouth and smiling at her.

His face was slightly hot, Xue Yun also subconsciously glanced at Li Yanning's door again, raised his hand and touched the hot place on his forehead, glanced at Xiao Luo, and lowered his voice:

"You...... What are you doing?"

Xiao Luo took the opportunity to sit down beside Xue Yuan, and while helping her set up the dishes and chopsticks, he said confidently: "You hire a cook and give some money benefits, I'm just asking for some sweetness, isn't it too much?"

Xue Yun pursed his lips and took the chopsticks handed over by Xiao Luo: "...... I didn't give ......."

Xiao Luo's eyes lit up, and he leaned over and pecked her cheek again.

"Xiao Luo!"

Xue Yun held the porcelain bowl in one hand and the chopsticks in the other, his face turned a little redder, but he still remembered to keep his voice down.

Xiao Luo smiled lowly, and reached out to put a chopstick dish in Xue Yuan's bowl: "Come, taste it." ”

Xue Yun puffed out his cheeks, and in the end he was defeated by someone's hippie smiley face.

Forget it, it would have been ...... She's not angry.

After eating for a while, Xue Yun began to talk to Xiao Luo about the story he heard at the entrance of the town alley today.

There was an elderly woman in the town with gray hair and eyes that were not easy to talk about, surnamed Wang, and everyone called her Granny Wang.

Granny Wang's wife left a few years ago, and her only son had a serious illness before he got married, and he died before he could be healed, and now he is the only one left, living in the town. Granny Wang's ancestors have been living in the town for many generations, and many people in the town can be regarded as relatives, so although she only has her own life, it is not sad.

When she was old and lonely at home, Granny Wang liked to run out to the alley near her home and tell stories to the children who were playing there, which was very popular with the children, and sometimes there would be a few adults who were not too busy to come over and listen to it for a while.

Such a mother-in-law Wang reminded Xue Yun of Uncle Yu who she met in Chenzhou Loucheng.

After having this association, Xue Yuan paid special attention to Granny Wang, and often went to the alley to listen to Granny Wang's story in the afternoon.

The story of Granny Wang is different from Yu Boshu, Yu Bo loves Kyushu events, interesting stories in Loucheng, but Granny Wang's stories are all biography with some mysteries.

"Today, I'm going to listen to Granny Wang's story again. ”

Xiao Luo paused his hand and turned his head to look at Xue Yuan: "It's that again, a pair of outstanding men and women helped everyone resist the big bad story?"

Xue Yun thought for a while: "It sounds like a lot of places...... Not very reliable look. But I've thought about it, and there are some things that I feel ...... It's not like it was made up out of thin air. ”

"Oh?"

"Granny Wang's story, there are indeed some unreasonable confusion in many places, incoherence and even contradictions, but most of the places are very smooth, and the development is closely linked, and it looks like a nonsense content with those chaotic looks, not like the same source. Xue Yun put down his chopsticks, frowned and thought about it for a while, and then said to Xiao Luo: "I have a guess. ”

"What is it?"

"I specially stayed for a while today to chat with Granny Wang, and she heard all these stories from the adults in the family. The Wang family has been living in this town in Yuanzhou, and during this period, there have been a few people who have spiritual roots to practice, and they have been passed down uninterrupted. Like this kind of legendary story of waking up before going to bed, the elders of Granny Wang are all real people and true things written down by the ancestors of their Wang family, but I don't know how many years have passed, the original manuscript has long been gone, and only word of mouth is left among the family. Of course, this Fa, Granny Wang herself...... Actually, I don't believe it. ”

Xiao Luo smiled: "Yes, if according to the story of Granny Wang, Yuanzhou really had so many major events and such outstanding talents, where would it be that today, there is no record to be found?"

"Maybe there is?" Xue Yun paused and looked at Xiao Luo: "Maybe there is, but it's just that the past is really too long and forgotten?"

Xiao Luo blinked: "Do you think it's true?"

Xue Yuan went to listen to the story of Granny Wang's few days, Xiao Luo came to the town earlier than Xue Yuan, but he was not like Xue Yuan.

Although Xiao Luo didn't listen to it, with the occasional mention of Xue Yuan's return, he was able to piece together a rough story of "the big hero defeats the big villain to protect everyone" that Granny Wang gave to the children.

The territory of Yuanzhou was entrenched in a large force many, many years ago, and the people in other state capitals were quite jealous of the people of this force. They seem to be very decent on the surface, but secretly there are many unforgiving deeds, and people in Yuanzhou and even other state capitals have been killed, but there are many more people who think they are good people, and even praise them.

This went on for many years, until two people appeared, a young man and a woman. The two of them were different from many arrogant sons at that time, although they had too much strength, they were very approachable, and they were even willing to stand up for ordinary people living at the bottom.

After all kinds of tribulations, the two of them uncovered the true face of this hypocritical evil force in front of the entire Kyushu, and united many people to defeat it in one fell swoop, and the entire Yuanshu and even the entire Kyushu were clear.

This is where the story comes to an abrupt end.

The story of Granny Wang has no next thing, no later for the heroes.

Xue Yun thought for a while and replied to Xiao Luo, "Hmm...... I just think that the framework of this story makes perfect sense if you don't look at those somewhat exaggerated details. I just had a guess, which is...... The story itself may really be something that has happened, but after so many years of word of mouth, many contents and details have been lost, in order to make the story complete, future generations must have added a lot of content to it, most of which are conjectures or even fabrications, so that this story will appear...... It's very split. ”

“...... But it's because of this sense of disconnection that you think the framework of this story is real?"

"I don't have any reason, I can only think of it as a feeling. If it is just a coaxing child from beginning to end, how can the story be passed down from generation to generation, and bother to fill in the gaps? I believe that the story itself must be meaningful. ”

Xiao Luo nodded slightly, without words.

"But......" Xue Yun thought for a while and frowned: "Indeed, as you do, we ...... I have never heard of any great top forces here in Yuanzhou, let alone a pair of men and women who overthrew this force. This story of Granny Wang does not match the record of the entire Kyushu. ”

Xiao Luo let out a sigh and looked at Xue Yuan: "You will notice this story because of the first half...... Is it similar to what it is happening today?"

Xue Yun was slightly stunned, closed his eyes and was silent for a moment, then nodded in acknowledgement.

Indeed, although she first went to listen to Granny Wang's story because she thought of Uncle Yu in Chenzhou Loucheng and wanted to try her luck, she had actually given up a little after Granny Wang always had some sometimes even ridiculous stories that children loved to hear.

It wasn't until a child mentioned that he wanted to hear the story of the great hero of Yuanzhou again, so that Granny Wang followed the children to talk about it, which was full of legends, and talked about it for a few quarters of an hour every day, for several days in a row.

Xue Yuan will be attracted to this story because of the beginning of this story.

The hypocritical skin of decency, the filthy true face, the people of the world who are kept in the dark, the people who are persecuted in despair and grief on the one hand, and reverence them because of ignorance.

Xue Yuan thought of Yuan Che, thought of Fang Ye, thought of Li Yanning, and thought of the people he saw in Moling City, Cangzhou.

How similar.

Because she was interested in the beginning of this story, Xue Yuan had the patience to listen to the whole story, even if there were many ridiculous fallacies in the story, she did not give up.

"About ...... In addition to the feeling after experiencing it myself, it is still ...... Am I a little too sensitive?"

"Huh?"

"Xiao Luo, do you remember my father's codex?"

Hearing Xue Yu suddenly mention Xue Yu's codex, Xiao Luo's eyes narrowed: "'Ci is filthy and unfair, it has already begun, and the tragic and dirty of the past years is far from comparable to this time. Granny Wang's story makes you feel that it is similar to the description of Uncle Xue's codex. ”

Xue Yun nodded: "Yes." We all know that Daddy wrote this sentence after knowing about Yuan Che and the Shangguan family, and found out something else. 'Dirty and unfair' refers to something similar to what Yuan Che did. So...... After knowing more about the truth and impact of Yuan Che's incident, every time I encounter a similar situation, I can't help but wonder if this is the one my father mentioned, and whether it will be the truth that ...... "took her father's life."

Xiao Luo closed his eyes, his eyebrows beat for a moment, and he stretched out his hand to gently cover Xue Yuan's palm: "...... Since we are in Wonju, let's follow your thoughts to find clues. ”

Xiao Luo was on her side again, and naturally respected her decisions and choices, and accompanied her to the former school

But this time, Xue Yun looked at Xiao Luo, but he was slightly worried:

"Xiao Luo, ...... you" Xue Yuan thought for a while, and then continued to speak: "I'm sure, it's not my delusion." Xiao Luo, since we said goodbye, there has been something wrong with you. Isn't it...... Because of this place in Wonju?"

Xiao Luo was stunned for a moment, not too surprised that Xue Yuan noticed that something was wrong with him, but he was still surprised that Xue Yuan was keenly aware of the source.

But since it has been released by Xue Yuan, Xiao Luo no longer hides it: "Yes." ”

After Xiao Luo confirmed her guess, Xue Yuan was even more worried: "Why? Yuanzhou...... What's wrong?"

Xiao Luo sighed, a smile appeared on his face, and he shrugged his shoulders with a somewhat casual look: "I don't know, I've stayed for so long, except that the aura is a little thin and not conducive to cultivation, I really haven't found any problems." ”

"That ......"

"I'm not good either, I just feel it. Xiao Luo's gaze drifted a little away: "For some reason, I don't like this place." ”
