Chapter 167: The Past of the Bamboo Cottage
"What is the relationship between my mother and you, I want to know, everything about my mother, and my life experience?" Lou Wange clutched the teacup tightly, looked at the verdant roots under the cup, and finally asked the purpose of the trip.
"It's a long story about me and your mother, do you want to hear it?"
"Please!"
"Your mother and I are close friends in this life, many years ago, your mother had coincidentally saved my life, but in order to save me, your mother was also seriously injured, I took her back to Wanning Villa to recuperate, coincidentally, during the time when your mother was recuperating from her injury, we could talk, in many ways, your mother and I have a lot of similarities, naturally, I became good friends with your mother, and your mother was helpless at the time, I left her in the villa, built such a yard, she lived quietly here for two years. But twenty years ago, at the sword awakening conference in the villa, a group of gangsters intended to seize the holy sword Linglong sword of the year, and also wanted to poison everyone in the villa, but your mother found out and stopped it in time, and did not let those people succeed, so calculated, even if I owe your mother two lives to the favor, in return, I gave the holy sword Linglong sword to your mother, but in less than half a year, your mother suddenly disappeared, leaving only a letter. Goodbye has been a year later, when you were already in your mother's womb, I know that she is in trouble, she came to me to take refuge, I will take care of it, hide this place in the world, so that your mother will not be discovered, can give birth to you well. A few months later, you were born at term, but the next day, an uninvited guest came, in order to better protect you, and your mother also wanted to keep Wanning Villa from getting into trouble, that person took you two away, and since then I have not seen you for more than 18 years. β
The bamboo shadows in the house are faint, the cigarette smoke is curling, and the layers of smoke seem to bring Lou Wange to the years in Shu Jinyuan's story, which is really a long story!
"So the uninvited guest who took me and my mother away was my master Tang Zhuangyu?"
"Yes, he came in a hurry and hurriedly took you two away, and I found that there were many more corpses under the mountain, and I guess it was someone who came to look for you. It was discovered and solved by your master, which is why he took you away in such a hurry, and this place is no longer suitable for you to hide, and then I also set this place as a forbidden place, hiding everything about your mother forever. Shu Jinyuan said and looked around the bamboo house again, as if he was nostalgic for the time back then.
"Why?"
Shu Jinyuan smiled lightly, lifted the teapot and added tea to the teacup, and didn't seem to hear Lou Wange's question.
"Why is my mother pregnant? Why are you hiding? Who is tracking down my mother? Why did my Master save us? Lou Wange grabbed Shu Jinyuan's arm and looked at him fixedly, the concealment and escape in Shu Jinyuan's words couldn't be more obvious, of course she wouldn't believe that things would be so simple.
Withdrawing his hand, Shu Jinyuan continued: "What if I say I don't know? What I know, that's all. β
"No way, my mother once told me that you are her best friend in this life, and you won't know nothing."
"Then your mother must have explained, don't come to me to ask anything in this life!" Shu Jinyuan raised his eyes and looked at Lou Wange.
"How do you know? Did you collude a long time ago to tell me nothing, to hide everything from me, to let me live here in illusion and falsehood? Lou Wange was a little emotional, this long journey, she just wanted to ask a clear understanding, Shu Jinyuan may be the person in the world who can get her closest to the truth.
"Evening songs, sometimes, not knowing will be much better than knowing, and it will be much happier. When you ask me everything about you, I think you're in trouble, but I know that whatever the trouble, the truth won't help you. I promised your mother, everything in the past, floating clouds and water, never mention it again, no matter who asks, you don't want me to break the agreement with your mother! Shu Jinyuan's eyes gradually dimmed, as if a bottomless sadness gradually emerged.
"Really, can't you mention anything? Who am I? What is the relationship between the blood spirit in my body and the royal family? What is the relationship between Pingyue and Nanzawa and me? Lou Wange said sadly, Shu Jinyuan's words were firm, I am afraid that she will not be able to get anything she wants today.
A trace of doubt and surprise crossed Shu Jinyuan's eyes, and he grabbed the sad Lou Wange: "Let me ask you, what is your identity now?" How do you know about these royal entanglements? Your blood spiritβ"
"So you still know everything! Then why bother asking me? Since I entered the imperial capital, I have not lived in peace for a day, and I wish that anyone could take my life, and gradually I realized that all entanglements seem to be faintly related to me, with the blood spirit, and with my mother. But how can I know about those past entanglements? I don't know the cause and effect, I can't even prevent the person who wants to kill me at any time, and I don't know when the owner of the village will never see me again. Lou Wange hung her head, thinking of everything that had happened since she entered the imperial capital, and her heart became sad. If you can't figure out what is right and wrong, then there is no way to know the result, is it possible to live in a daze and fog all the time?
"Wan Ge, although I don't know what you did in the imperial capital, and how you could be involved with you, I want to remind you that there are some things, bypassing the truth and grievances, maybe the result will be better than before. Again, don't dwell too much on these past events, for you, knowing it won't be better than the current situation. Shu Jinyuan still insisted on his attitude.
"Since the owner said so, then I can't keep asking. I just heard the bell ringing in the villa, presumably the sword awakening conference is about to start, without you, the owner of the village, presiding over the overall situation, the conference is afraid that it will be difficult to start, the owner of the village will not go to take a look? Lou Wange got up, although she was a little disappointed, but the matter had come to this point, and it was fruitless to ask questions, so it was better to deal with the next thing.
Shu Huan's matter should have come to fruition today!
Hearing this, Shu Jinyuan chuckled twice: "Today's sword awakening conference should be a little lively, evening song, I know that you are capable, and you have a deep love for the little girl all the way, the little girl was tied up, I am grateful to you for saving her regardless of the danger." But I am ready for today's events, and if anything happens, please take care of yourself and do not interfere, and when the matter is over, I will see you again. β
"Owner, I have never been a person who stands idly by, since you know that Shu Huan and I have a deep friendship, how can I be indifferent to watching her being tied up, or what will happen today, the cause and effect that the owner doesn't want me to know." Lou Wange was about to keep up with Shu Jinyuan's footsteps walking out, when she suddenly felt dizzy, shook her head and stood still on the table, looked at the vague figure in front of her, and frowned: "You, you have drugged in the tea!" β
"Your temperament is really not bad with your mother, but you are not suitable to meddle in today's affairs, the medicine in the tea is created by your mother**, called "dream", you can rest here, and when I deal with Huan'er's affairs, I will come back to see you. If I don't come back, the medicine will be resolved in two days, and you will leave on your own! Shu Jinyuan clenched his fists tightly, as if he was a little forbearing, and seemed to be a little resolute.
"What...... Meaning? The figure in front of him was getting farther and farther away, Lou Wange was full of doubts, and before she had time to ask another word, she fainted at the table as soon as her body sank.
"The bell has been ringing three times, why hasn't the owner of this village seen anyone, don't you want to take out the treasure sword for us to see!" It was past the agreed time to wake up the sword, and the master did not appear, and there was already a lot of discussion in the venue, and because the status of the villa was not easy to say directly, he had to wait anxiously.
"Guests, please wait a little longer, the owner of my family may be in a hurry to delay, don't worry, this year's holy sword, you will see it later."
The sword master of ceremonies was playing a round on the stage, and his eyes began to be anxious, he had already sent several waves of people to invite the owner, it stands to reason that the owner should not be late for so long, if the owner does not come again, how should he deal with this meeting.
As soon as the words fell, a cough sounded, and the audience instantly quieted down, only to see a corner of the venue, a cyan figure slowly appeared, with an outstanding temperament, everyone knew it, that was the owner of Wanning Village.
Shu Jinyuan walked to the middle of the venue and saluted to the representatives of the various sects: "Everyone, I'm sorry, Shu is late and delayed your time." You also know that this holy sword I Wanning Villa ten years to create one, this year's holy sword is called "Acacia", taken from the "exquisite dice An red bean, into the bone Acacia do not know", different from previous years, this year's holy sword into the heaven and earth aura, and a hundred years of treasure "Wild Spirit Pearl" blessing, is Wanning Villa all the holy sword in the most aura, the most lethal one, you have eyes today. Come, sword, please! β
was introduced like this, and everyone who was already looking forward to it was even more eagerly awaited, staring at the holy sword that was brought up, and they all secretly made up their minds, today's lovesick sword, they have to do it!
"The rules of Wanning Villa, the person who draws the sword this year needs to be the lord of the holy sword "Dawn" ten years ago, Shu Mou looked, the master of the dawn sword, and now the young master of Yuanqiu, Qing Shui Gongzi, tired to come to the stage to draw the sword for everyone. Shu Jinyuan turned sideways, made a gesture of invitation, and at the same time raised his eyes slightly, vigilantly observing the surroundings, if he guessed correctly, as soon as the sword came out of the sheath, those people should not be able to hide their thoughts!
Qing Shui Chuzhi pulled the brim of his hat forward again, went on stage to Shu Jinyuan and saluted, and then bowed to everyone, walked to the front of the Acacia Sword Platform, and slowly pulled out the sword, accompanied by a dazzling white light, everyone finally saw the "true face" of the Acacia Sword: The sword body cast by Xuanjing Iron and Desolate Spirit Beads is as thin as cicada wings, glowing with a little blue brilliance, and the hilt of the sword is engraved with the consistent dragon pattern of the villa, mixed with acacia cloud patterns, which looks simple and majestic. The already cold sword body is thinly engraved with the outline of a skeleton, it is hard to imagine how strange and bloodthirsty this sword should be if it is stained with blood and the blood flows through the thin skeleton outline. Close to the hilt of the sword, there are three gems of different sizes in turn, everyone knows that the gem is extraordinary, added to the body of this sword, even more heavy on the aura and evil aura of this sword, people can't help but sigh and praise.
