In order not to be chased and intercepted by those "fans", Su Qiubai wrapped himself tightly at this time, with a lot of masks, sunglasses and scarves, and he couldn't wait to cover all the exposed skin before he stopped.

The means of transportation he chose this time was still a long-distance bus, not that he didn't like to take a plane, but he carried so many magic weapons with him, especially the Xuanyuan Sword, it would definitely not work to take it on the plane, and the consignment was too unsafe, in case it was stolen by someone with a heart, then even if the entire airline was compensated to him, then he would be at a loss.

As before, he got a car to Nanjing directly on the way, Su Qiubai began to sleep with his head covered on the car, and after waking up, he had already arrived at Nanjing Station.

Remembering that it had been several years since he last came here, he couldn't help but sigh a little. The father and son of the Leng family are already a thing of the past for him, and when he thinks about it at this time, even the hatred is almost gone, it seems that time is really a weapon to dilute a feeling.

Originally, I wanted to contact Xie Zhongyuan, but after thinking about it, I couldn't stay in Nanjing for too long, and I hadn't been in touch for so many years, so he must have a new life, so it was better not to disturb him, so I went directly to Dongfang Rui's house.

Dongfang Rui still lives in that dilapidated community, and after so many years, this dilapidated community has not been demolished, which makes Su Qiubai a little surprised by its longevity.

After seeing Dongfang Rui again, Su Qiubai found that his appearance had not changed at all, he still looked only in his sixties, and he had a smiling Yan expression on his face, so he almost wrote the four big words "Don't approach the living" on his face.

Seeing Su Qiubai, a look of surprise also appeared in Dongfang Rui's eyes, and he couldn't help but say: "It seems that you have improved a lot over the years, even I can't estimate your strength." ”

Su Qiubai smiled embarrassedly, in addition to the cultivation of Gu Wu and Xiuzhen, he now has more sword spirit evil qi and puppet power in his body, and under such a mixture, even he himself doesn't know what level he is now.

"When are we leaving?" Dongfang Rui asked again.

Su Qiubai was stunned for a moment and said, "As long as I know the direction, I can leave immediately." But you only told me that Taiyimen is hidden in the depths of Changbai Mountain, but you didn't tell me the specific direction, so I don't know where we are going......"

When Dongfang Rui heard this, he replied: "Let's take it from Gemu Town into the mountain, and from there is the nearest road. However, Gemu is a small town, and the transportation is not very convenient, so we may have to reverse a few trips. ”

Su Qiubai frowned and asked, "Then you always follow me like this, it's no problem, right?" ”

Dongfang Rui glanced at him and said angrily: "You treat me as a useless old man? Although I can't compare to a young man like you, but if you are a young man who has no cultivation, you really can't compare to me. ”

Su Qiubai also knew this, although he was already an old man who was over the age of old, how could a heaven-level master be comparable to ordinary people? It's just that he was a little upset to let this senior follow him so bumpy.

"In that case, let's rest for the night and leave tomorrow." Su Qiubai said.

Dongfang Rui nodded, pointed to a travel bag on the coffee table, and said, "I have packed all my luggage and can leave at any time." ”

Su Qiubai saw him so positive, and his heart was also grateful. Remembering that he had originally had some holidays with Taiyimen, he asked: "Uncle Cousin, I remember that you also left because of your disagreement with Taiyimen before, can you tell me what happened to you to guide you to Jiangsu?" ”

Dongfang Rui glanced at him, but hesitated and didn't speak, and after a while, he sighed and said, "There was nothing to say about this originally, I was going to take it to the coffin." But since you asked, it doesn't hurt to sue you. ”

After brewing two cups of hot tea, Dongfang Rui slowly spoke, telling about his grievances with Taiyimen decades ago.

The origin of Taiyimen has been counted for thousands of years, although it has been hidden in the mountains since hundreds of years ago, but its depth is unsurpassed in the existing ancient martial arts sects in the entire Huaxia Kingdom. With such a huge division, someone naturally needs to be in charge, and the competition for the position of head is not much better than the ancient battle for the throne.

Dongfang Rui was a strong contender for the position of head of the family at the beginning, and he was not the only candidate for this candidate, among the children of the same generation, those who have the best cultivation and character are likely to be selected as the heirs of the head.

Because Dongfang Rui's talent is excellent, Xiuwei is also one of the best among the competitors at that time, coupled with his calm personality, upright and upright, all conditions are very suitable to take over the position of head, many people have even long believed in their hearts that he will win in this heir battle.

But then something happened that almost eliminated the possibility of his succession.

Dongfang Rui has an elder brother, but he died in his forties because of his practice, leaving behind his wife and a one-year-old son, and the poor mother and son were naturally taken care of by their younger brother Dongfang Rui.

It was precisely because of his care for his sister-in-law that he attracted everyone's suspicion, and later some people came up with all kinds of evidence to prove that he had an affair with his sister-in-law as early as when his brother was alive, and said that the child was also born to him and his sister-in-law. And this person is Dongfang Miao's father, Su Qiubai's grandfather, Dongfang Zheng.

Dongfang Zheng is carefully listing his so-called evidence, each of which seems to be justified, and Dongfang Rui has always been not good at words, so naturally there is no way to refute it. In this way, almost everyone believes that Dongfang Rui and his sister-in-law do have a personal relationship.

Dongfang Rui's sister-in-law couldn't stand this insult, and soon committed suicide by hanging, leaving a suicide note before dying, claiming that she was willing to die to prove her innocence and Dongfang Rui, and asked Dongfang Rui to take good care of her children.

But her death did not dispel the previous rumors, but instead gave rise to even worse rumors, saying that she committed suicide because the truth was exposed.

Dongfang Rui was wronged by this, but he couldn't argue with it, and he couldn't defend it, so he left Taiyimen with his nephew in a fit of anger and went all the way south to Jiangsu, and then settled here.

"So...... Your son was actually your brother's son? After listening to Dongfang Rui's story, Su Qiubai couldn't help but ask.

Dongfang Rui nodded and said, "Yes, I have never been married in my life, so naturally I can't have children." It's just a pity that I still failed my brother and sister-in-law's expectations in the end and failed to protect the child. ”

Su Qiubai was also sad when he heard this, no wonder Dongfang Rui would rather fight for his life than find revenge on the Leng family at that time, it turned out that there was such a reason. When he thought that the person who framed him was his grandfather, although he did not admit his relationship with that person in his heart, but the blood relationship was an undeniable fact, he said apologetically: "In this way, I am also the grandson of your enemy, but I still have to bother you to help me......"

Dongfang Rui interrupted him and said, "I don't think you treat that person as your grandfather, right?" ”

Su Qiubai nodded and said, "He didn't have any kindness to me except for giving birth to my mother, but he caused our family to be unable to reunite, so I hate him no less than you." ”

Dongfang Rui smiled: "That's it, what are you talking about the grandson of the enemy?" ”

Su Qiubai's heart suddenly moved, and said: "Uncle Cousin, this time when I go back, in addition to rescuing my mother, I think it will be washed away along with your grievances for many years." After all, no one wants to bear this stigma for the rest of their lives, let alone being framed. ”

Dongfang Rui's eyes lit up for a moment, and then he returned to normal, and said lightly: "After so many years, I'm afraid there are not many people in Taiyimen who still remember me, why do you care about this reputation?" What's more, my brother's family of three is no longer there, and my reputation as a lonely old man doesn't matter, so let them go whatever they want. ”

Su Qiubai shook his head and said, "It is precisely because the people have gone that they can't be burdened with infamy until they die, otherwise they will be difficult to look at under the Nine Springs." ”

Dongfang Rui stared at Su Qiubai for a long time, and finally sighed and said, "Even if I have the heart to clarify, but after many years, the original evidence has long been nowhere to be found, how easy is it to overturn the case?" But okay, since you have this heart, when the time comes, you can act on the opportunity, if you have the opportunity, I don't want to bear this stigma, but if there is no way, I will not force it. ”

After saying that, Dongfang Rui didn't want to mention this matter again, and went back to his room to rest.

Early the next morning, the two went out with their luggage, Su Qiubai originally felt that it was a bit too reluctant to let Dongfang Rui, an old man, take the bus, and wanted him to go by plane or train, but Dongfang Rui insisted on refusing, so he gave up.

Dongfang Rui is right, Gemu is really a small place, and the two of them poured three buses in a row, which lasted two days and two nights before they finally arrived. As soon as he got out of the car, Su Qiubai was stunned, because the situation here was not much better than Qingzhou City, he originally thought that Qingzhou was backward enough, but he didn't expect that there was a Gemu Town that was comparable to it.

"Uncle Cousin, is the place where you enter the mountains far from this town? Do I need any tools? Su Qiubai asked.

Dongfang Rui thought for a while and said: "The mountain road is rugged and difficult, so it is best to prepare mountaineering equipment. Other than that, you and I can handle the situation in the mountains, so there is no need to prepare anything else. The road into the mountain is still a few kilometers away from the town, so it's best to get a car, and if not, it's not a hassle to walk there. ”

Su Qiubai remembered how he bought a van in Qingzhou City, and immediately felt that it was necessary to repeat the old trick, so he said to Dongfang Rui: "Let's go find a place to live first, and then I will go out to buy things, and after resting for one night, I will leave for the mountain tomorrow." ”

Since he was willing to run errands, Dongfang Rui naturally had no opinion, so after finding a hotel to live in, Su Qiubai went shopping alone.

But when he walked around the street, he was surprised to find that there was no place to sell mountaineering supplies!
