Chapter 22: Secrets

As Zhuge Xiongjun and Zhuge said yesterday, the news of the gambling game spread rapidly in Ziyun City, and it became known to everyone in just one day.

As for the gambling game, it was indeed a private game between the Zhuge clan and the Situ clan at the beginning, but now it has evolved into a city-wide competition, and the winner's reward is naturally the Jingjing Yuan liquid.

However, soon the City Lord's Mansion issued a notice in the name of the young city lord and posted it on the streets and alleys.

At a street intersection in the city, the crowd of onlookers was discussing the notice posted on the stone wall, which was written in black and white, stamped with a red official seal, and wrote: Situ Mansion occasionally got a spiritual treasure, and it was identified as the essence of washing the scriptures. Now the main body of the city is sympathetic to the people in the city, and this thing is specially taken out to set up a martial arts test, and the winner can get it. And because the process of the fear of martial arts test is complicated, disturbing the people and hurting money, I hope that the interested participants will fight in the snowflake pool two months later, and the young city lord will personally guard the fight, so everyone should know.

A fat man with a big belly looked at the notice and said: "The young city lord is really generous, tsk, if I had such a treasure as the meridian washing yuan liquid, I am afraid that now I am also a martial artist who walks the rivers and lakes!"

As soon as he finished saying this, someone on the side ridiculed: "Just your brain, fortunately you are just an ordinary person, otherwise you would have been played to death." If Situ Xiao'er really wants to sacrifice the treasure, and he needs to rack his brains so much? Let me ask you, do you dare to brush the tiger's beard?"

When the fat man heard someone scolding him, his face trembled, and he was about to get angry, but when he heard it, he realized that it seemed to be the reason, and he squeezed out of the crowd with a red face.

In the two-story pavilion of a restaurant, two young men who look a little similar sit opposite each other, both of them are dressed in brocade and jade belts, holding a rocking fan, and their bright and gorgeous colors are dazzling, they are the eldest young master and the second young master of the Zhuge family, Zhuge Ming and Zhuge Zhixun.

Half-hung bamboo curtains hung around the pavilion, and the two of them sat on the side, and they could see the situation outside from the side.

The bamboo curtain swayed slightly in the cool breeze, rustling, Zhuge Zhixun closed the fan with a click, listened to the slightly noisy discussion outside, and said with a smile: "It's a good chess, a fair and honest plan, I heard that Situ Xiao'er is on the verge of breaking down, and it seems that it is the pressure he left for himself." ”

As the power of the City Lord's Mansion, the Situ clan is slightly stronger than other families, not to mention that it has the support of the imperial dynasty, even if it only talks about hard power.

That old man Situ, that is, the Lord of Ziyun City, didn't know what hurtful things he did when he was young, and he had no children under his knees, so he had no choice but to accept four righteous sons.

However, later he did a good deed every day, ate fasting and recited Buddha, and all the concubines in more than a dozen rooms were rested, and his wife Cai also went to the Guanyin Temple every month to bow down and worship, pious prayers, contributed a lot of incense money, and finally the two really gave birth to a son.

When he was old, the old man Situ excitedly feasted the whole city for three days and three days, and named his son Shaoyang, I don't know if he did it unintentionally, or if he had the intention to take the name according to the prince's wishes.

Such a young city lord who has been pampered to the extreme since birth, is still so young, even if there is a meridian washing essence as a color head, who will fight it? The old one has no face to go, the big one dare not go, and the small one can't beat it.

Zhuge Ming gently rubbed the delicate jade cup of the shallow carved spirit bird in his hand, then drank the wine in the cup, exhaled comfortably, and said leisurely: "The son does not teach, the fault of the parents, and the city lord of Situ is not there, this is nothing more than the trick given by his righteous brothers, and he is not worried." ”

"Shhhhhhh The corners of Zhuge Zhixun's mouth twitched, and he quickly sat up straight and reminded.

Although Zhuge is not very afraid of Situ's family, it is better not to talk nonsense about this sarcastic remark of the city lord, if it reaches the ears of the city lord after some oil and vinegar, it will also be a troublesome matter.

Zhuge Ming shook his head and smiled, snapped his fingers casually, and saw that there was a transparent barrier around the two of them.

Zhuge Zhixun nodded suddenly in understanding, and his heart was still the eldest brother's thoughtfulness.

He took a soft embroidered cushion and put it behind him, leaned down in a comfortable position, and asked casually: "Big brother, have you heard about that incident?" The Ye family went to the land of the North to worship their ancestors, and Ye Yinan was taken away by the beast dancers, and he actually escaped unharmed. ”

Then he picked up a square piece of pastry and stuffed it into his mouth, and added inarticulately: "This kind of guy with empty skin is not as good as Situ Shaoyang." ”

However, this time he didn't hear the approval of his eldest brother, Zhuge Ming frowned slightly, and muttered in a low voice: "I really want to know how he escaped under the hands of a Yuan Control Realm martial artist." ”

......

Ye Mansion, Ye Yinan sat in the room, glanced at the delicate jade bracelet in his hand, and shook his head helplessly, this is exactly the bracelet that Zhuge Xiongjun wanted to give to Ye Qingyan, but he may not dare to make an abrupt and beautiful move, but he just stuffed it to himself when he left.

However, in Ye Qingyan's eyes, Zhuge Xiongjun was just a stranger who knew his name, and she naturally wouldn't accept his things.

This back and forth bracelet fell into Ye Yinan's hands, listening to Zhuge Yuan's words when he left, this gadget seemed to be a valuable spiritual weapon, and it would be too violent to throw it away, so he put it away first, and returned it next time he met that Kuo Shao.

Thinking of the rumored Sutra Washing Yuan Liquid, his eyes showed a little interest, he had planned to cultivate to the Yuan Control Realm as soon as possible, and this rare treasure had to be grasped.

However, the Dao method is infinite and unpredictable, although his cultivation is now gradually rising, and his true strength has reached the realm of controlling the yuan, but other people also have their own fate and means, and it is too big to overturn the boat in the perineum gutter.

Thinking like this, Ye Yinan walked out of the small courtyard and came to the door of the library.

Zong Zhenshan was still wearing the linen clothes that had not changed for ten thousand years, sitting on the wooden chair at the door like a withered and shriveled log, motionless and lifeless, Ye Yinan secretly wondered how often he changed his clothes.

Sensing that Ye Yinan was coming, Zong Zhenshan's cloudy eyeballs moved slightly, he turned his face, and did not open his mouth to teach a lesson as before, but looked at him quietly with that slightly clear eye, and only said after a while: "You bad boy, you have deceived the people of Yifu, and the old man seems to be a really blind man in front of you." ”

Ye Yinan smiled dryly: "Sect Elder, you are serious, the kid has only recently had an epiphany, and he doesn't want to waste his time anymore." ”

Zong Zhenshan frowned slightly, feeling that it seemed to make some sense, and then he covered his mouth with his hand and coughed violently a few times, and said: "A good man's ambition should be in the Quartet, how can he succumb to the place between the women's two strands, you can have an epiphany, that is your fate, and the old man also hopes that your kid can go further and fly higher!"

Obviously it was to motivate the younger generation, but it seemed to be a little tasteless in his mouth, Ye Yinan always felt that he was probably also a romantic character when he was young, so he bowed down with a smile and thanked him.

Entered the Book Pavilion, this time he went directly to the top floor, the second floor of the Book Pavilion contains the spirit product martial arts, and the third layer contains the ground product martial arts, this trip is not for anything else, just to choose the right place for yourself.

Now he seems to have no other means except for the Great Wilderness Force, the Linzi and the Yuan Force that can't be used in front of people, and he urgently needs to add some means for himself for the sake of the battle for the Yuan Liquid of Washing the Scriptures.

When passing through the second floor, he glanced inside, and then shook his head to extinguish the ridiculous idea, and it is not a movie, how can it always be in that pile of low-level martial arts, there is a hidden fragment of the world, and there are so many people in Ye Mansion, even if there is, it should have been discovered a long time ago.

There was not a single cloud in the sky, but a monotonous white, which looked like some immortals had taken advantage of the mortal world's inattention to drape the sky with a layer of white silk.

Zong Zhenshan suddenly felt something, turned his head and sighed, and said in surprise: "Why is it so fast today?"

Ye Yinan handed him three jade slips and explained: "Today is mainly for the martial arts, so naturally it goes straight to the point. ”

Zong Zhenshan took the jade slip and glanced at it casually, wanting to warn him that he was greedy and chewy, where would someone choose three kinds of earth-grade martial arts at one time, this is not a spiritual product, and the difficulty of cultivation is also doubling if it is higher than a grade, but when he thought of the growth rate of Ye Yinan's cultivation, he changed his words and said: "The martial arts in the clan must not be passed on!"

This kid, the last time he came here, he was only in the fourth stage of the ascetic realm, but now?

Ye Yinan retrieved the jade slip and nodded in response, but he didn't leave there, he stood in place, hesitated for a moment and said, "Sect Elder, the kid wants to ask you something. ”

Zong Zhenshan suddenly had a bad premonition in his heart, and wanted to open his mouth to drive people away, but seeing his serious look, he swallowed back the words of driving people away, and was silent for a while, he sighed helplessly and asked, "You want to ask about your father, right?"

Hearing this, Ye Yinan had some guesses in his heart, and it seemed that there was really something else hidden in this matter. Since he was reborn in the Purple Dry Realm, even if he inherited his memories after fusing soul fragments, he still didn't have the slightest impression of that man.

At first, he thought it was a young death, but in his memory, it seems that everyone in the clan kept that man secretive and avoided talking about it, which is a little intriguing.

Although Ye Yinan has an indifferent attitude towards this cheap father who has no feelings, Ye Jingxian has always been in love, and he has seen her silently sad many times in his memory.

For Ye Jingxian, the feelings in his heart are very complicated, not purely for his mother's family affection, every time he thinks of the green shadow that cried in his arms in the land of Beisha, a warm mist rises in his heart.

He naturally knew that it was her mother's love for the original owner of his body, but this did not prevent his gratitude to her, it was precisely because of this otherworldly mother and the girl who entered the north alone with a sword that he could still feel valued in this strange world.

"Sect Elder, please tell the kid!" Ye Yinan solemnly hugged his fists, and made up his mind to find his father's whereabouts for his mother, anyway, looking for one and two are searching.

Zong Zhenshan leaned back in his chair and slowly closed his eyes, as if he was thinking about the events of the past, and he spoke after a long time: "It's too far away, maybe some old men can't remember it clearly...... Your father's name is Ye Xuan, he was picked up by your mother when she went out to play, and he didn't have any memory when he picked it up, and even the name was given by your mother. ”

He paused and continued, "Ye ...... Your grandfather didn't like your father very much, or did your mother secretly have you from your grandfather, so the two were able to come together, which made Old Man Ye angry at that time. ”

Thinking of Ye Tianxing's angry appearance at that time, he couldn't help grinning, revealing a few sparse teeth, and even squeezing out a few furrows on his forehead.

"Your father has not entered the martial arts, and after he and your mother were combined, the two have been living a dull and happy life. But...... Then one day, a mysterious guy came, and his whole body was shrouded in a black robe, so that no one could see any information about him. And he seems to have some kind of relationship with your father, and only rings the bell for a while, and your father ......"

Ye Yinan saw him stop suddenly, and hurriedly asked, "What's wrong?"

Zong Zhenshan seemed a little reluctant to speak, and after waiting for more than ten breaths, he slowly opened his eyes and said in a low voice: "Your father went crazy, and suddenly he had a body of cultivation, killing many clansmen, and even your uncles couldn't stop him." ”

Hearing that he had killed many people, Ye Yinan's heart sank suddenly, he suddenly felt that his throat was a little dry, and asked astringently, "What happened later?"

Zong Zhenshan continued: "Later, the mysterious man took away your father, your grandfather didn't like your father in the first place, and many clansmen died, even if your mother knelt on the ground and begged, he still chose to be indifferent......

Finally, Ye Yinan understood why Ye Tianxing's eyes were always mixed with some strange complex emotions when he looked at himself, and he also understood why there was a faint gap between his mother and him.

After knowing the truth, he took the martial jade slip to bid farewell to the sect elder, and after he left far away, a very low sigh came from the front of the library: "Alas, I hope Old Man Ye doesn't blame me for talking too much." ”
