Chapter 176: Night Meeting

The night is deep, and the stars are constantly twinkling in the sky, punctuating the peaceful twilight. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

This Taoist temple is becoming more and more desolate.

Not only during the day, the pilgrims who come to worship are getting fewer and fewer, only two or three people, not in groups, sparse and scattered, and even at night, the Taoists who live in the Taoist temple are not as diligent as before...... In the past, when there were many people, there would always be large and small garbage, which often caused people to complain, but now, there are still complaints, but they are complaining about why no one comes.

The courtyard and the open space outside the Taoist temple are all clean, except for a few fallen leaves, the dust is not clean, so no one comes out to clean, after dinner, the Taoists are in the room, either reading by the light, or simply sleeping...... It's really idle.

In the huge Taoist temple, only the white mist is still standing outside.

He's waiting for someone.

Bai Wu is not young, but because he pays attention to strengthening his body, his body is quite tough, the night wind blows, with a hint of coolness, he seems to not feel it, standing straight outside the Taoist temple, Taoist robes and beards move with the wind, his eyes look far away, looking at a little light in the distance.

At the lamplight, it should be the little Taoist named Hei Qi'er - oh no, called Zhu Qi.

Bai Wu sighed in his heart, as the master of the Taoist Temple of the Shangqing School, regardless of his current identity, he is also a child of a family, born in the Wuxing Bai family, but he is a small family, attached to the Zhu family of Wujun, so the situation of the Zhu family is still clear about the current situation...... The Zhu clan is no longer the head of the four families of Wu County, especially after Zhu Xian was killed and the entire branch was slaughtered, the other three Zhang clans, Gu clans, and Lu clans continued to develop, especially the Zhang clan, which used to have constant friction with the Zhu clan, and constantly suppressed the Zhu clan when the Zhu clan was tired...... The situation is very serious, and it is no wonder that Zhu Xuan, the head of the Zhu family, cares so much about Zhu Qi.

When Bai Wu was thinking about the ins and outs, the lights in the distance turned out to be closer, and it was a small Taoist holding a torch, walking from a distance, his figure was thin, and it was obviously Hei Qi'er who had been notified by the day.

Hei Qi'er walked over, Bai Wu hurriedly greeted him, and said to Hei Qi'er: "I'm sorry for you, I have to come over at night." ”

Hearing Bai Wu's words, Hei Qi'er's eyes were shining, he looked at Bai Wu carefully, and said: "I just came here because I saw that the real person repeatedly emphasized that he would not set a trap, if something happened to me, I think Erlang would know early tomorrow morning......

"Look at what you said, I worked hard to help you find your relatives, how could it hurt you." White Mist explained.

"Looking for relatives? Why do you want to be sneaky at night when you are looking for relatives? Hei Qi'er sneered, but his movements were not slow, and he followed the white mist real person and slowly walked towards the Taoist temple.

Bai Wu Zhenren shook his head, a little embarrassed: "You don't know, the Zhu family also has the difficulties of the Zhu family, although from some experiences, you do look like the son of Zhu Xian, but this has not been determined yet, in order not to let other families suspect, so you can only contact ...... secretly Don't worry, if you are really a child of the Zhu family, then the current head of the family, who may be your own uncle, Zhu Xuan, will definitely take you into the door in a beautiful manner, visit the ancestral temple, and announce the world. ”

As he spoke, the two of them walked to a side hall and stopped.

Hei Qi'er obviously didn't trust Bai Wu's explanation, but he didn't say anything, except for worrying that Bai Wu would set up an ambush to kidnap him, it didn't seem to hurt to contact Zhu Xuan.

Moreover...... Why didn't he want to know about his life experience.

Bai Wu knocked on the door, and then, with a squeak, the door was opened by the people inside, revealing a man about thirty years old, who was stunned when he saw Hei Qi'er, and then staggered: "Come in and talk." ”

Hei Qi'er walked in, but Bai Wu didn't come in, the man ...... The man named Zhu Xuan closed the door, sat in his seat, looked at Hei Qi'er and said, "Sit down and say, don't be restrained." ”

"You called me here to verify if I am from the Zhu family...... But how do you verify? Hei Qi'er asked, but he was also sitting opposite Zhu Xuan.

"Your surname is Zhu, you come from the north, to be exact, from the junction of the north and the south, which is where my brother Zhu Xian's family is located, and the time of your southern crossing coincides with the time of my brother's family's accident." Zhu Xuan looked at Hei Qi'er carefully as he spoke, "A few years have passed, and you were still young at that time, so you shouldn't have written down too many things, and I don't have much evidence...... Verification, of course, is based on feelings. ”

"By feeling?" Hei Qi'er smiled, "It's really a pastime for me." ”

"It's not a pastime, at least you look like my brother in my memory." Zhu Xuan knocked on the table, "Okay, let me ask you a few questions, you try to answer them, okay?" ”

Hei Qi'er narrowed his eyes and said, "You ask." ”

"Why are you called Zhu Qi? Is it because of the seventh oldest in the family? ”

"Not really, because my mother gave birth to me on the seventh day of the seventh month, and called me Ah Qi...... As for the exact name, I don't know. Hei Qi'er shook his head.

Zhu Xuan seemed to breathe a sigh of relief after hearing this, looked at Hei Qi'er and said, "What kind of clothes did you often wear when you were a child?" ”

"Of course it's a good outfit, it's about the same as yours." Hei Qi'er hesitated for a moment and said, "I don't know what the situation is at home, but at least it should be a poor ......."

Zhu Xuan frowned: "The name of the family...... How many do you remember? ”

"I didn't deliberately remember it, so I don't remember my father and mother, but I only remember the names of the slaves and maids who always accompanied me." Hei Qi'er was embarrassed, "If I remember the names of my parents, I may have found the family." ”

"That's just as well."

There was a sudden silence in the room, Zhu Xuan was thinking, and at the same time carefully looking at Hei Qi'er, and on the other side, Hei Qi'er was also looking at him.

……

Bai Wu waited outside for about a quarter of an hour, and the door of the side hall was opened again, and Hei Qi'er came out of it, and when he saw that he was still waiting outside, he was stunned, and said with a light smile: "I'll go back first." ”

"Is it settled?" Bai Wu asked, "Do you want me to send someone to send you back?" ”

"No need, I'll just go by myself."

Hei Qi'er lit the torch and walked farther and farther, and after a while, he walked out of the Taoist temple and disappeared.

Zhu Xuan walked out of it and said to Bai Wu: "I'm also leaving, you send someone to prepare the car." ”

"Zu Ming...... Isn't he? White Mist seemed to care.

But Zhu Sui frowned, stunned for a while, and then said: "He looks a little similar, but the things in his memory are a little different from what I asked, so I can't be sure ......" (to be continued.) )
