Chapter 4 Old News of the Annex
Yu Bo's location in the small courtyard in Dongcheng is a little off, but it is not deserted.
Xiao Luo and Xue Yun came to the door of the small courtyard and knocked a few times, Yu Bo, who came to open the door, didn't seem to be very surprised, with a shallow smile, didn't ask more, welcomed the two into the door, put a cup in front of the stone table in the courtyard, poured a cup of tea for each of them, and then held his own quilt leaning on his rocking chair, squinting his eyes and shaking it gently.
“...... Uncle Yu?"
The old man in the rocking chair opened his eyes and looked at Xue Yuan, who couldn't help but speak: "The two little friends have been wandering around for many days, and they came to find my old man today...... There's something you want to inquire about, right?"
Xiao Luo smiled slightly: "The old man is not surprised at all. ”
Yu Bo smiled: "I don't know how many people have come to my old man to inquire about things, young and old, openly and secretly, what kind of old man has not seen it?"
"Really?" Xiao Luo looked at Uncle Yu who was relaxing in the rocking chair, and slightly hooked the corners of his mouth: "Then Uncle Yu, you may guess, what do the two of us want to inquire about?"
Yu Bo laughed, and the water in the teacup in his hand shook out a little: "The old man just likes to listen to stories and gossip, and he loves to think about it when he is alone, is it difficult for Xiaoyou to be an old man, what kind of know-it-all am I?"
Xiao Luo smiled: "So many people have come to ask Uncle Yu about things, which is enough to prove how powerful you are." What's even better is that you also mentioned some 'secretive' people who came to inquire, but none of these people have revealed their affairs, which shows ...... Uncle Yu, you are not only well-informed and insightful, but also tight-mouthed and trustworthy. ”
"Hahaha! You boy! Anyway, the old man felt comfortable when he heard this. After laughing, Yu Bo lowered his head and took a sip of the tea in the teacup, squinted his eyes and asked, "What do you want to inquire about?" If I know, old man, I will not embarrass you. ”
Xue Yun moved his mouth, but did not make a sound, but glanced around.
When Uncle Yu saw it, he understood, and said casually without much concern: "If you are worried, you can set up an enchantment or something by yourself, as long as you don't damage these things in the old man's yard, you can toss it as you like." If you want to bury a plate or something, you can just do it lightly. ”
Xiao Luo smiled: "Uncle Yu is well-informed. ”
Yu Bo said: "Those who came to inquire about the news more or less have some of their own avoidances, the old man understands! But the old man, my cultivation is average, my spiritual power is not good, and I don't have anything to do with the background of the array plate talisman, so I won't offer my ugliness, you can toss it yourself!"
Xiao Luo and Xue Yun glanced at each other, and then Xiao Luo pressed Xue Yuan's raised hand, and raised the other hand in front of his chest, the spiritual power was urged to escape from his fingertips, and he pinched it very quickly, and a faint halo slid over the small courtyard, and soon dissipated and became invisible, as if it had never appeared. But a few people in the courtyard knew that the barrier had been completed.
Yu Bo on the rocking chair held the teacup and lowered his eyes slightly, his eyelashes trembled slightly, but he didn't say anything more.
Although Xiao Luo's condensed enchantment could not be seen, and he could not feel the fluctuations of spiritual power if he did not distinguish it carefully, it could really ensure that the movements in the small courtyard would not be heard by people outside. It's just that this barrier is very fragile, and once someone approaches here and wants to enter the small courtyard, the barrier will dissipate the moment it is touched by outsiders. However, this can also be used as a warning.
As soon as the enchantment was completed, Xiao Luo withdrew his hand, glanced at Xue Yuan, and then reached out to pick up the tea that Yu Bo had poured earlier on the stone table, and took a sip slowly.
Xue Yun knew that Xiao Luo was handing over this matter to her, although she was nervous, she couldn't help but feel relieved and a little emotional.
From leaving Mianzhou to Chenzhou, Xiao Luo was very helpful all the way to slowly verify the things related to her father Xue Yu back then, but she always made her the dominant person intentionally or unintentionally.
Three years ago, her father Xue Yu and mother Li Jinglan passed away one after another, and she struggled alone in the sudden cold reception and even oppression in the family, and finding out the truth to seek justice for her father and mother has become her heaviest obsession, she must complete, she must think, and complete it with her own hands.
Maybe even she didn't clarify the obsession in her heart so quickly, but Xiao Luo found out and ...... In his way, carefully and gently, he tolerated her mood, and did not make her more anxious and depressed because she was powerless. These days, although she is fully aware of her own shortcomings that have been trapped in Mianzhou for so many years, she has also grown rapidly under Xiao Luo's help and guidance.
Xue Yun looked at Xiao Luo, who was holding the tea, who seemed to have given her the initiative after the temptation, took a deep breath, and looked at Uncle Yu who was smiling and his face remained unchanged:
"The stories that Uncle Yu told in the teahouse are all very interesting. ”
Yu Bo squinted his eyes and smiled: "Well, this is also true, the little girl likes the story of the old man, and the old man can also see it these days." However, ......" Yu Bo's voice changed, and he still looked at Xue Yun with half-squinted eyes and a smile: "Little girl, you are not all interested, and everyone wants to inquire, right?"
Xue Yun pursed his lips and smiled: "Yu Bo has a good eye." ”
Yu Bo shook his head slowly and swayed in the rocking chair: "This is not a discerning eye, if you can...... Guess what you two want to inquire about, it's called Discernment!"
"That'...... Can you guess?"
"Hmm......" Uncle Yu lowered his eyes and muttered for a long time: "The two little friends are fresh faces, they didn't come to Loucheng before or didn't come to Loucheng often, and after coming to Loucheng, they often stay in Dongcheng, and they want to inquire about it, I'm afraid it's related to the villa in Dongcheng, right?"
Xue Yu endured and endured before he could hold back the fists that he almost clenched subconsciously, but Xiao Luo on the other side was unusual, and still responded to Uncle Yu's words with a smile and a hearty and frank smile: "Look, we are still not wrong, you old man, you are indeed a pair of discerning eyes, and you are very bright!"
Yu Bo smiled and waved his hand, thought for a while, and said, "Come on, the old man won't go around the bend with you." In fact, I think the two of you also know, the old man of Dongcheng Villa really hasn't been there, and what he hears is some things that have been reported by others, and he may not have done it really, but if you want to hear it, I'll talk about the old man. ”
Xiao Luo didn't say anything more, and let Xue Yuan, who had calmed down and come back to his senses, answer.
Xue Yun took out a box from his storage bag, and opened a small opening after placing it on the stone table.
A faint fragrance wafted out from the crack in the box, and after Yu Bo on the rocking chair sniffed, he sat up suddenly, and regardless of the teacup he was holding and splashed himself, he pulled the box on the table over, got closer and sniffed it several times.
"Good tea!"
Xue Yun said with a smile: "I heard that the guys in the teahouse have mentioned that Uncle Yu is good at tea, so I will come to the door today to disturb me, and I specially brought a little bit to chat and express my gratitude." ”
Yu Bo closed the box carefully, with a satisfied smile on his face: "Haha, I'm ashamed, the old man is just like this, since the two little friends have a heart, and even the elixir fried spirit tea is willing to give me a box of spiritual tea, and the old man has no other skills, so he will talk to the two of you about the idea." ”
"Thank you, Uncle Yu. ”
"Hah...... Where to start?" Yu Bo pondered for a moment, cleared his throat and spoke: "This Dongcheng Pavilion is built for people from various sects and families who come to Chenzhou every year. Although they are all the top forces on the Kyushu continent, there is a clear distinction between the four major families and the other two major sects outside the Qiaozhou Demon Palace. In addition to the clansmen, the four major families also have some small forces and disciples who take refuge, and the Xuanqing Sect Yin Sect is a wide range of disciples, and the foundation is not the same, although there is occasional friction, it can be regarded as peaceful on the surface. ”
Speaking of this, Yu Bo paused, stretched out his hand and added another cup of hot tea to himself, and after taking a sip, he leaned back on the rocking chair, shook slightly, and continued: "The Demon Palace never sends people openly, and the Yin Sect does not like to be with others. Therefore, the people who have stayed in the other garden for the longest time are also the people of the four families of Feng Xue and Li Tang, who have the longest inheritance and the deepest connection. Feng Jia...... The most powerful is big, and the relationship with several other families doesn't seem to be very harmonious, if you say that there is a little bit of a special rumor in the Dongcheng Villa, it is estimated that it is the friction between the people of the four major families over the years. But after all, they just came to Loucheng to collect medicine, and they didn't stay much, even if there was a lot of trouble at the time, after they left, this matter will be over. ”
What I said before is not a secret on the Kyushu Continent, many things are known to everyone, and even if you don't know the details, you can guess a thing or two, so what Xue Yu suppressed and waited anxiously for was what Yu Bo was going to say next.
"The old man has only come to settle in Loucheng for more than 20 years, and what he knows is still limited. In the past 20 years, the annex in Dongcheng has been very lively every year, and there have indeed been some disputes. Well...... It should be eighteen years ago, in the garden to do some chores to raise the wounded spirit stone of the two casual cultivators accidentally offended people, lost their lives, these two little cultivation for a few magic weapons on the body, so the noise is a little bigger, many people have seen the movement over there, but then it's gone, it's just a loose cultivation, there is no background, so many years have passed, and no one cares, but the people in the city occasionally think about it, sigh for a moment. What happened back then seemed to have something to do with the people of the Feng family, and the old man also heard that the people of the Li family wanted to stand up for those two loose cultivators and at least save people's lives, but it's a pity that ......"
Yu Bo shook his head and slowly swayed in the rocking chair, not knowing whether he was sighing or regretting.
Eighteen years ago, the Feng family, the Li family.
Although it was not the time and person she wanted to listen to, Xue Yu still secretly wrote it down.
"A little bit more...... It's supposed to be...... Eight years ago. ”
When Xue Yuan heard the time point of "eight years ago", he couldn't help but stiffen and tense his spirit.
"Eight years ago, there was also a family member who had a conflict with the Feng family, which was caused by an assassination in the other garden that year. It is said that the target of the murderer at that time was not the children of the four major families, but a guest of the Feng family, but this guest had some status, and the Feng family did not want to let go, but it seemed to be stopped by a person from another family. ”
Xue Yun clenched his fists: "Who is the person who stopped the Feng family?"
Yu Bo pondered for a moment, as if recalling: "Hmm...... I heard that he is a member of the Xue family, and he is still a descendant of a good cultivator. If it's just an inconspicuous sideline, I'm afraid it's the Feng family's ......"
"Even if the Feng family is powerful and has always been a little arrogant, but the four major families have a deep relationship with each other, and this guest is really a big face, not only let the adventure of assassination run to the other garden where the four major families gather, but also make the Feng family and the Xue family almost turn their faces......"
Xiao Luo's words made Yu Bo in the rocking chair turn his head to look at him, but the answer to Xiao Luo's question was simple:
"That doorman is indeed a character...... More than 100 years ago, it was in this land of Chenzhou that someone created an auxiliary exercise that could make people with mixed spiritual roots practice smoothly, called Qingyun Jue, which benefited many people because of the slow practice of mixed spiritual roots and easy spiritual power to go crazy, and those who did not dare to practice before were also considered to have immeasurable merits!"
Xiao Luo's brows frowned slightly when he heard this, and then quickly let go, and smiled: "Uncle Yu won't say that the Feng family's disciple who became the target of assassination is an immortal genius who created the Qingyun Secret and has great merit...... Yuan Che Zhenjun, right?"
"Ha, isn't that Yuan Che?"
