Chapter 194: He Nianjun
After telling Lord Wang about the spell skills, practical knowledge, and trivial content he had obtained, it was already too early, and looking at the sky, Phantom felt that he had not much more to say, and began to ask them for his own.
"I have a certain relationship with them, and for more than 20 years, in addition to looking for you after I came back, they are the only ones who are old friends, so I plan to ask if Lord Wang knows their current situation."
"The others have not been heard from at all, but there are a few rumors of a very bad reputation, but as for the interrogator, we still know very well, and he is now living entirely on our help." Wang Linqing said with a very interesting expression.
"Help? How could he be in need of help? Could it be that he is quadriplegic and disabled for life? Phantom's eyes widened, glaring at Wang Linqing with the expression he had used when he first saw the orc warrior.
"We can't tell why, but we've noticed since more than a decade ago that he seems to be quite unlucky, and he has failed in everything, and his family doesn't know when they left him, and by the time the guards found out, he was starving to death."
"What?" It was probably the funniest joke Shadow had ever heard in his life, but the expressions on the faces of the two showed that they were not telling a joke.
"That's right, in two days it will be the day we will send him food, and I said that since you are going to see him, why don't you take a day off here and bring it to him yourself tomorrow?" That way, you'll understand everything, and you'll be able to go to him. Wang Linqing said.
"It's for the best." The shadow replied, and then asked one last question: "Lord Wang, did you know that more than thirty years ago, there was a person surnamed Ye in the city?" He felt that Ye Zilan's father should not be an ordinary person, and it should not be wrong to ask Lord Wang about it.
"Leaf ...... You say that, there is one, I was still young at that time, and there was a very shrewd and capable official surnamed Ye in the city, but unfortunately his personality was relatively straightforward, and he couldn't get used to seeing many things, so he suddenly resigned and lived in seclusion, and it was even rumored that the person he offended assassinated him. Lord Wang said.
"Oh, I see, so what's the name of this Lord Ye."
"Although he doesn't have much power, he is relatively famous, so I still remember that his name is Ye Ming."
"Oh, Ye Ming......" The shadow pondered for a while, and then said to Lord Wang: "Then it's okay, thank you, Lord Wang, I really bothered Lord today, you are not in good health and have worked hard for my business for so long, I really feel sorry." The Shadow said as she prepared to take her leave.
"Slow down, it's rare for you to come here for so long, after you finish talking about serious things, don't you accompany me to catch up on the old days, Lin Qing is my middle-aged son, and he has been trained harshly in the palace since he was a child, and he didn't have time to introduce you to him, and besides, looking at your appearance, it's not very good, I can still help you here in terms of finances."
"That's right, then I'll bother you today, Lord Wang." Phantom said as he unfastened the cloak on his chest, revealing rusty, clawed armor, "If I could, I would like to help me change to a different set of armor, which is what I need most at the moment." ”
Therefore, the shadow stayed for dinner, and rested in his mansion for the night, and the next day Wang Linqing brought him a new set of armor of the god of war, quenched his original blue suit, and let him replace the old armor that was riddled with holes.
"According to your request, this is the ancient shape of twenty years ago, and there are few sets left in the city, and at the same time, I beg you to send these foods to the judge, because the official business was delayed by yesterday's events, and I can't go with you today." Wang Linqing said.
"Where, the villain is grateful, thank you for taking care of me this time, I'm afraid that it will be indefinite, so I'll leave, Lord Wang." As soon as the shadow arched his hand, he left without looking back, strange to say, and when he turned to leave, he had lost the slightest affection for this place and Lord Wang.
According to these people, a few miles north of the West Gate will be a lonely wooden house, which is where the former ruler now lives.
Carrying a large bag of rice, all kinds of dry food and meat, the shadow walked to the door and knocked lightly, and after a while, a middle-aged man with white hair like snow in a shawl and a spotless silver robe came to open the door.
He closed the door at the sight of the knocker's face, but after a while, he suddenly opened the door again, and the dragon-patterned sword stabbed straight towards the Shadow Face door with the sound of the wind!
The phantom only stretched out two fingers, but before he could catch it, the bell blocked the extremely fast sword, and said with embarrassment: "Judge, you ...... What's going on? ”
Seeing that his fingers were hard to block the sword and he was unharmed, the interrogator sighed and said, "I...... You deserve it. How could he be so young, who are you, I almost thought you were He Ming's brute. ”
Phantom asked very embarrassedly: "Why is He Ming a beast, but, although it is a long story, in a sense, I am He Ming, but for some reason I have changed." ”
"So what are you? That's right, you and I should be forty or fifty years old, how can you still be this face, I can't help myself when I think about it, let's talk about it, what's wrong with you? The Guardian's anger subsided.
"I think you're more serious than my change, how is that possible? The Daoist realm of the trial and protection back then was admired by Tianzun and Qing Shui, and what they did would not get to the point where they needed help, and how could your hair become like this? "Phantom still cares more about each other than his own story.
"Actually, there is nothing strange about it, when a person does something that ordinary people can't do, and is rejected by all things in heaven and earth, he can choke to death by drinking water, and he can fall to death on the flat ground, and I can already be alive because of the kindness of heaven and earth, and I have the virtue of a good life." The inquisitor smiled wryly.
"Then what did you do to make it so serious? I remember that Qing Shui said that your cultivation is already one with heaven and earth and outside heaven and earth, how can you be mixed like this? The Shadow still didn't believe it.
"Like what you told me, the White Sun Gate also believes that the threats facing the world cannot be fought against by people of a certain era, so they have collected the secret protection of the world and prepared a spell that violates the laws of nature, which is used to accumulate the power that can be prepared to fight that crisis for a long time.
"And if the person who presided over this magic circle does not cultivate well, he will not be able to complete it at all, and he will die unexplained because of the creation of heaven and earth and the mystery of invading ghosts and gods, so they found me. In short, after that, I was dying of growing vegetables and raising swine fever, and if it wasn't for Lord Wang, I would have starved to death if I found out that I was so down. ”
Then he laughed at himself and pointed to his hair and said, "That time I was dying of hunger, so I had to dig up some grass roots and tree bark to gnaw, and as a result, I ate a highly poisonous herb that is unique in ten thousand, and although my life was saved, my hair became like this in half a day." So what's going on with you? ”
Phantom Shadow followed him into the house and sat down, and told him what had happened to him since he left Cangyue Island and separated from Ye Zilan in Shabak City, and he didn't even hide the details of the Chaos Rune and Blacksmith Zhang.
The interrogator touched his chin and said with some emotion: "No wonder we can't find you, if these things are true, we can't blame you." It's just that how can you think that Ye Zilan is a passerby in her heart, for so many years, she has never treated anyone like you. ”
"It's all in the past, then, and even now, I'm just the most insignificant shadow in the world, and what position do I have to imagine how important I am." But when it comes to this, no matter how much you blame me, if you know about her, please tell me. ”
The interrogator shook his head and said, "I'll tell you about her, you must be uncomfortable, it's already like this, I'll give you a suggestion, just don't know what?" It's not like you know everything, especially if you're like this. ”
"I can imagine that you mean well," said the Phantom, "but if I can know, I must know, please don't have any other ideas, tell me the truth, I can accept any result, because I am not qualified to care about anything else." ”
The interrogator said, "Okay, you get ready, I'll try to keep it simple." After falling into the trap in the desert, as soon as she broke out of the siege, she reappeared in the city of Shabak, and she unreserved all her duties and left alone.
"I happened to go to Beach City at that time to hand over the drawings to Lord Wang, and when I came back, I learned that Ye Zilan had left, and then not long after, as the status of Shabak City was no longer important, the people who came with Beach City gradually left and went to find other targets.
"And Li Tingao is still there, having completely lost the sharpness of his early years, and just as I was about to leave, Ruyue Shadow suddenly appeared and found me, and he brought up the thing that had made me unlucky until now.
"And in addition to me, who is presiding over the formation, I also need some very powerful people to act as living formation eyes to achieve the stability of that formation, and almost among the people we know, Ye Zilan, who is the most proficient in controlling elemental spells, has become a suitable candidate.
"So through communication with nature, we found her in the Zuma forest for more than five years, but when we saw her child, we hesitated."
The Phantom opened his eyes and asked loudly, "Child! Did I hear you right, she has a child? ”
"That's right, his name is He Nianjun, his eyebrows and mouth are very similar to you, but he has big eyes like Ye Zilan." Seeing that He Ming's entire face changed, the interrogator answered him quietly.
The Phantom grabbed him and cried out, "And then? What happened to Ye Zilan? Where is Nianjun now? ”
