After a few days of hurrying, Xie Baoshu was already far away from the defeated city.

Dongxing Shizhou is a vast place, and there are many sword immortals, and there are many troubles to find Xie Baoshu along the way. Who told him to carry a knife around his waist and walk in a place full of sword immortals? Fortunately, these people are not too strong, Xie Baoshu didn't need to use the knife, so he sent them away.

These people are not malicious,

So Xie Baoshu didn't make a heavy hand, he just warned them not to bother him again. On this day, I came to a prosperous town with many monks. Xie Baoshu heard a lot of news along the way.

The most famous thing is that in Dongxing Shizhou, there is a Xie family, and recently the son of the Xie family, who immediately won the crown and invited a lot of guests. This Xie family, Xie Baoshu has heard someone say that in Mobei, Xie Baoshu once saved a sword cultivator named Jia Jian.

He once said that he came from the Sigu Sword Sect.

But this time, Xie Baoshu lived in the Sword Sect for a long time, and he didn't see Jia Jian's figure, so he didn't know if he was a liar or how. Jia Jian once said that in Dongxing Shizhou, there is a big family surnamed Xie, which seems to be the one Xie Baoshu heard recently.

I heard that the head of the Xie family was born a few years ago, and with the help of his father-in-law, he established the entire Xie family. The head of the Xie family, I heard that his name is Xie Fuyuan, he is very kind, and he is a sword immortal in the realm of earth immortals.

His father-in-law has only one daughter, and after marrying Xie Fuyuan, it can be said that the entire family was given to him. Xie Fuyuan is a real son-in-law. However, the door-to-door son-in-law is very qualified, and even the child is surnamed Xie.

It can be seen that Xie Fuyuan's ability, charm, and means.

This time, Xie Fuyuan's son-in-law, who is about to become an adult, will definitely call his friends around him to celebrate together. Xie Fuyuan is very good at being a person, so he has a lot of friends, and this incident caused a sensation in Xingshi Prefecture.

Xie Baoshu was just passing by, and he was a little interested in this Xie family, so he took a second look. The Xie family is not far from this town, and the town can rest. Xie Baoshu felt like a traveler, constantly running around and resting.

Life is like a reverse journey, and I am also a pedestrian.

According to the old rules, Xie Baoshu still plans to walk around the town and eat something. In the town, there is a lot of food, and there are quite a few monks, most of whom carry swords on their backs. Xie Baoshu pressed his knife, not wanting to cause trouble.

In this town, there are quite a few beggars, and Xie Baoshu looks a little uncomfortable.

The Tang Dynasty is so prosperous, how can there still be beggars? And these beggars are a little annoying, and when they see the expensive clothes, they go up and ask for money. As if they were born to give them all, the current Tang Dynasty is prosperous.

Even if you farm the land, you can eat enough, why are there so many beggars?

Xie Baoshu was a little puzzled, since he couldn't figure it out, he was eating here while watching the actions of these beggars. What made him curious was that one of these beggars was particularly interesting.

When other beggars are begging, looking for someone to ask for money. The beggar lay on the ground and basked in the sun. The beggar bowed his head

, sitting against the wall, unable to see any expression. He, whether he is contemplating, reminiscing, or regretting, everything is puzzling.

All you could see was the shabby and old black hat he used to beg in front of him. His clothes seemed to have never been changed in his life, and his white shirt was now black, so short that it was like a few strips of tattered cloth.

From the material of the clothes, Xie Baoshu could see that this beggar was once also a handsome boy. and his face, although dirty, can still be seen back then. At this moment, the beggar suddenly opened his eyes and looked around.

From his arms, he took out a steamed bun, ignored his dirty hands, and ate it like this. Xie Baoshu could see that his eyes were cloudy and dark, and there was no aura at all. When I ate steamed buns, it seemed to be a little dry, so I looked around for water to drink.

He looked around, and suddenly, he glanced at Xie Baoshu. His eyes suddenly became very strange, and his whole person began to change. There was an unquenchable anger in his eyes, and his teeth clucked, like an enraged lion.

Suddenly, all the anger seemed to be gone again. It's like pouring a bottle of honey in my heart, with a smile on the corner of my eyebrows, and even the faint numbness on the purple face of the Quartet is glowing red.

He dropped the steamed bun in his hand and strode towards Xie Baoshu.

Xie Baoshu was a little vigilant, turned around and left, not wanting to provoke this beggar. Unexpectedly, no matter how he walked, this beggar actually followed behind. And he looked anxious, as if he had something to tell him.

Xie Baoshu stopped and looked at him with a frown.

Although the beggar was in a hurry, he stopped a few meters away from Xie Baoshu, he didn't seem to be able to speak, and his hands kept gesturing something. I was anxious and excited.

So Xie Baoshu opened his mouth and asked, "You have something to do with me?"

The beggar could not speak, but he could understand what was being said, and nodded.

Xie Baoshu asked again: "Do you want money?"

The beggar shook his head, but made a gesture to take Xie Baoshu to a place. Xie Baoshu wondered in his heart, this beggar himself had never known him, why was he so excited? And he could see that this beggar had no cultivation at all.

Like a wasted person, you can't do yourself any harm.

Xie Baoshu stretched out his hand and motioned for the beggar to lead the way.

The beggar seemed to be very happy, but he was actually not very old, he was middle-aged. But under the devastation of years and life, he looks like an ordinary person. From time to time, he would look back at Xie Baoshu, as if he was looking at a rare treasure.

The place where the beggar brought him was a ruined temple.

This temple can not be broken again, the temple door is almost a big hole, the glass on the window is broken, open the temple door, there is a thick layer of spider webs in front of you, look at the ground, the ash has covered your feet, the wall is covered with green moss, and then look at the Buddha statue in the temple, the Buddha statue is dressed in a dirty body with several big holes

The robe, the fingers of the Buddha statue also fell off several times, and the roof of the temple was also broken, and if it rained heavily, it would rain lightly in the temple.

Xie Baoshu didn't know what this person wanted to do, so he still followed in.

This dilapidated temple seems to be the base camp of beggars, and there are no outsiders. It's so broken that it doesn't seem like even beggars want to come. After entering the temple, the beggar asked Xie Baoshu to wait for a while, and he came to the Buddha statue and used all his strength to move the Buddha statue away.

Underneath the Buddha statue, there is a box that looks like a woman putting jewelry. The carved pattern is exquisite and delicate, each board is a thick plate, full mortise and tenon structure, the best materials, the wood grain is gorgeous, the shape is noble and elegant, giving people an antique feeling.

The beggar walked up to Xie Baoshu and handed him the box in his hand.

Xie Baoshu took the box and looked at it, the workmanship is delicate, classical and noble, the wood grain is gorgeous, the tone is calm, and the decoration is elegant. The shape is gorgeous and unassuming, with dark brown and black stripes on it. Using traditional craftsmanship, the color is rich, the feel is excellent, it is a rare collection and gift. The carving is Danfeng Chaoyang.

In the book "The World's Best", it is said: "Only the so-called mahogany in the world is a proper noun for wood, not referring to red wood", "The best wood, in addition to red sandalwood, should be the most mahogany", which is the evaluation of old mahogany in the book.

Xie Baoshu could feel that the box in his hand was made of old mahogany. He really didn't expect that the old beggar in front of him would have such a treasure. But Xie Baoshu didn't open it, but looked at the old beggar, not knowing what he wanted to do.

The old beggar stretched out his hand, babbling and gesturing, and motioned for Xie Baoshu to open the box.

After getting his consent, Xie Baoshu opened the box, but unexpectedly, there was only one portrait inside, stacked neatly. Xie Baoshu's mind suddenly became a little restless, and he opened the portrait in the expectant eyes of the old beggar.

In the portrait, it is a woman.

A green silk with a butterfly step shake shallowly, the forehead of the night pearl carved into a butterfly, exudes a faint light, the white skin is like a freshly peeled egg, the big eyes flash as if they can speak, the small red lips and the white of the skin, more distinct, a pair of small dimples evenly distributed on both sides of the cheeks, a shallow smile, dimples looming on the cheeks, lovely as a fairy face like hibiscus.

Wearing cherry blue embroidered silk palace shoes, it is completely atmospheric. Simple and elegant, charming and graceful. The sideburns are lined with beads, and the eyes are like stars and the moon, and the fat window powder can distinguish people. Slightly bewitching, there is no charming light red water-sleeved cardigan, and aqua green double-disc drizzle cold silk water skirt.

He used a white brocade belt to tie the slender waist that was unbearable, and gently pinched a handkerchief of self-embroidered pink butterflies playing with flowers. Graceful and graceful, talking and laughing, only less worldly manners. There is nowhere to find the elegance of the cut off generation, and only the fiber wind projection falls like dust. The flower mole that the eyebrows are born with is proud of the red plum in the winter cold.

Xie Baoshu frowned, looked at the woman in the portrait, and suddenly reacted, isn't the heroic spirit between this woman's eyebrows a little similar to himself? Xie Baoshu has a face, although it is not as handsome as Ye Shui, and Ye is not as happy

Chuan is chic, but it can be regarded as extremely delicate.

His face is very similar to the woman in the portrait.

No wonder this beggar was so excited. Xie Baoshu took the scroll and asked, "This woman, is it your friend?"

The beggar nodded, he could not speak, but he could write. He ran to the foot of the Buddha statue, picked up a piece of charcoal, and wrote on the ground: "Miss Cheng, I am very similar to you." Childe, is he also from the Peach Paradise?"

The beggar's hand is very strong, and the words he writes are sonorous and powerful. Like a sledgehammer, it smashed into his heart. Isn't this beggar an ordinary person? How does he know, Peach Paradise?

Also, who is the woman's surname Cheng on this picture scroll?

In Taoyuan Village, there seems to be a family surnamed Cheng, Xie Baoshu's heart is a little flustered.

The beggar then wrote: "Childe's surname is Xie, if so, then this picture scroll will be given to you." ”

Xie Baoshu was silent for a long time and asked, "Who is the person on the picture scroll? Also, why do you know that I am from the Peach Paradise Wonderland?" Secular people, even the way of cultivation feels mysterious and unpredictable, how can they know the Taoyuan Wonderland. ”

The beggar smiled bitterly and wrote, "I was originally an Earth Immortal Realm monk, but my cultivation was destroyed and reduced to a wasted person. As for the woman in the picture, if it's right, it's the mother-in-law of the childe. ”

The words "mother" were written from the beggar's pen, which made Xie Baoshu very frightened. Because he never saw his parents since he was a child. At this moment, he actually heard the news about his mother in the hands of a beggar, and for a while, he didn't know what to say.

There was no anger or confusion, Xie Baoshu just felt that he was a little unable to adapt.

Because of his father and mother, these two characters have never appeared in his life. Even if she appeared, it was Aunt Jiang, who was his mother. Although the woman in the picture scroll looks very similar to herself, how can she be said to be her mother at will if she has no evidence?

Xie Baoshu put the scroll back in the box and put it in it, handed it to the beggar, and said, "You recognize the wrong person." ”

The beggar was a little excited, came up and grabbed Xie Baoshu's hand, and seemed to have a lot to say. But his tongue seemed to have been cut off, and he could not speak at all. can only write on the ground: "If you want to leave, take this box away, remember, Miss Cheng's name is Danqing." ”

Xie Baoshu turned his head, not knowing what to say.

After hesitating for a long time, he took the box and put it in his finger. He stopped, looked at the beggar, and said, "In that case, tell me about the woman in the scroll." ”

When the beggar saw that he had changed his mind, he was very happy, and took him to sit down in front of the Buddha statue and wrote it down for him. When you're done writing one, gently erase it off. It turned out that the beggar's name was Jiang Chengwang, and he used to be a powerful physical cultivator. But he was victimized by the gangsters, and now his cultivation is completely destroyed and he has become a wasted person.

The woman on the scroll, named Cheng Danqing, is his good friend. I used to team up with him and traveled through Kyushu. It's just that because of some things, it's no longer anymore. this

The picture scroll in the box was the only thing Cheng Danqing left.

Jiang Chengwang has been waiting here all these years just to wait for the child in Cheng Danqing's mouth. When he was growing up in Kyushu, Cheng Danqing said that before he came out of the Taoyuan Wonderland, he had a child with a Taoist couple.

Later, something happened, Jiang Chengwang was abolished and repaired, and he could only wait for death in this town.

After hearing all this, Xie Baoshu knew in his heart that the woman on the picture scroll should be his mother. He was very curious, what happened back then? This beggar in front of him, Jiang Chengwang, was a physical cultivator in the Earth Immortal Realm back then, and his cultivation would be abolished.

Xie Baoshu took his hand, checked it lightly, and found that his cultivation was really completely useless.

For a physical cultivator, Xie Baoshu knows that the most important thing is the spine and martial tendons. And Jiang Chengwang's martial tendons. It has been deliberately provoked. Not to mention cultivation, even if it is life, it is very difficult, and every rainy day, the body will be in pain.

Xie Baoshu took out the pill from his finger, handed it to Jiang Chengwang, and asked, "What happened back then?"

Jiang Chengwang didn't take the pill, but slowly wrote: "Childe is such a valuable pill, don't waste it on me." What happened back then, Ling's mother asked me not to tell you. She said that she hopes that you will live this life happily, and if I see you, I will give you a portrait and tell you that she loves you. ”

Xie Baoshu smiled coldly and asked, "Does she love me?"

Jiang Chengwang held the charcoal and wrote again: "Childe, there is nothing she can do if she puts you in the village. ”

Xie Baoshu didn't want to say any more, since Jiang Chengwang couldn't tell him what happened back then, he didn't have to stay here. He got up and wanted to leave, but saw Jiang Chengwang looking like he wanted to say something. He asked, "Is there anything else you want to tell me?"

Jiang Chengwang continued to write: "It's better for Gongzi to leave Dongxing Shizhou earlier, you don't look safe here. ”

Xie Baoshu asked, "Why is it not safe?"

Jiang Chengwang only wrote one word on the ground: "Xie".

Xie Baoshu frowned, left some food and silver, and left the ruined temple. Until he left, Jiang Chengwang didn't write anything more. Maybe everything he has to say has already been said. After returning to the inn, Xie Baoshu had trouble sleeping.

Could it be that the word "Xie" written by Jiang Chengwang was related to the Xie family, which was now very famous? Xie Baoshu decided to go and see it. Before that, Xie Baoshu was now walking around the town, looking for anything that could change his appearance.

In the town, there are really a lot of vendors who do these things. There are those who change their appearance, those who sell masks, and there are even those who can change their appearance by casting spells. Xie Baoshu chose a radical change.

The so-called life is like a play, it all depends on acting skills.

Where there are people, there is a place for acting, and you have to "put on makeup" and wear "costumes" to act. From ancient times to the present, there are always a few "disguise" masters in large and small places, although they cannot dominate the situation, but the tricks of disguise can often turn decay into magic, helping masters from all walks of life to complete the drama of life.

Xie Baoshu didn't expect that in such a small town, the technology of disguise would be so remarkable. When he looked at himself in the mirror, he was stunned, he had become a middle-aged man.

Not to mention outsiders, even if Su Cha and the others see themselves now, they can't recognize them.

There are many ways to change the appearance, such as putting Gu worms into a person's nose and letting them gnaw at facial muscles and bones to change their appearance. There is also a silver needle inserted on the human body wind pool acupoint, and the appearance and body shape are completely changed to another person. There are also people who directly give people the face and cover the human skin of other people.

What Xie Baoshu chose was an ordinary disguise.

If you know him this time, he only needs to make simple changes, and there is no need to use those cruel methods. Change, change also. Looks, looks. Such a simple process took Xie Baoshu three red immortal jades.

To be honest, it's expensive, but it's worth the money.
