Chapter Forty-Eight: Su Lao
"Then you can tell me why I don't know so much?"
An Sheng sat on Yin Ziqing's body at once, dragging his face with both hands, and looked at Yan Wensheng with interest.
Yan Wensheng snorted inexplicably, touched his beard and said: "I think at the beginning, I was also a child of a scholarly family, three generations of scholars in my family, and there were many officials in the court above there. ”
"Then how did you become a Hanako now?"
"Alas......" Yan Wenxu's expression darkened, shook his head, and said with a wry smile: "There's no way, I provoked people who didn't dare to provoke, and everyone in the family was turned upside down." ”
Yan Wenxu was a little haggard again, with a sneering smile on the corner of his mouth, "My family members were all exiled to the barren mountain, I was not at home at the time, and then I was taken in by Su Lao and barely escaped." ”
An Sheng bit his lip, a little embarrassed, and quickly changed the topic and asked, "Excuse me, who is that Su Lao?"
In Yan Wensheng's mouth, this name keeps popping up, what kind of person is it?
Yan Wensheng patted his thigh and sighed: "Su Lao is the leader of our area, that is, he asked me to take care of the kid lying on the ground, everything is under his control." ”
"Do you know why I'm waiting for you at the bottom of that mountain? It was Su Lao who instructed me to do this. As he spoke, Yan Wensheng took out a jade plaque from his arms, which was carved with a strange bird and a fierce strange fish, the two were intertwined, and it was extremely strange, but the white jade body had been faintly cracked, densely covered with cracks, Yan Wensheng shook it in his hand, and pretended to say profoundly:
"It's this thing that I can go into that barrier and bring this kid out, otherwise with my ability, I would have been knocked into ashes by that terrifying impact. ”
Yan Wensheng said, his eyes looked at the cracks of the jade plate, and he couldn't help but shake his head with a pout, and now he was still a little afraid in his heart.
If he hadn't believed in Su Lao's skills very much, he would never have entered that blood-colored barrier, which was too terrifying, and those strange white shadows in the blood-colored mist were still vividly in his mind.
An Sheng couldn't help but be surprised when he heard this, and circled his green silk with his fingers, Shui Ling's big eyes blinked, and then asked, "So, that Su Lao is a diviner?"
"Hmm, how do you know about the diviner?" Yan Wensheng was stunned, this little girl obviously didn't understand anything, and told herself that she was from the countryside, how could she know about the rare diviner?
An Sheng glanced at it, then turned his head away, no longer speaking, his eyes rolling and not knowing what he was thinking.
Yan Wensheng was interested, stood up and wanted to ask, but was interrupted by a sound from the door.
The dilapidated wooden door was pushed open, dust fell from it, and the spider waiting on the web felt the movement and swung its eight thin legs away.
"Old Su, you're back. ”
Yan Wensheng straightened up, put his feet together, bowed towards the door, and lowered his entire upper body, respectfully.
Seeing this, An Sheng also stood up, bowed slightly, and looked at the old body outside the wooden door.
The wooden door was pushed open by a pair of withered yellow palms, and it was a tall and thin man, with starless eyes, like the walking dead, leaning sideways, and behind him was an old man, although he looked old and full of gray hair, but his eyes were full of energy, and his eyes were like torches, so that people could know at a glance that he was extraordinary.
Moreover, the old man's clothes were different from those of Yan Wensheng and the tall and thin beggars, he was dressed in a clean robe, but he was like a teacher.
The old man smiled kindly, raised his palm, and said gently: "That Supreme, the old man will lose his life if he is treated like this, you don't need to follow Wensheng to learn these etiquettes, he is just playing these pedantic rules, what's the use?"
An Sheng was silent, bowed, and smiled at the old man innocently, looking very cute.
Yan Wensheng smiled wryly, scratching his hair a little embarrassed, but a person in his thirties looked like a child who had made a mistake and was blamed by his elders.
"What about those brothers?" Yan Wensheng looked out of the door, only Su Lao and the tall and thin man were there, but their brothers didn't know where they were.
At this moment, there was a burst of footsteps, and a beggar in tattered clothes was the first to come out, with a fat head and big ears, his body was several times that of a tall and thin man, his stomach was high and bulging, he patted it, shook it a few times, his eyes narrowed into a slit, and said with a smile: "It's all here, brothers, work hard." ”
"Yes!"
A loud noise came, and one beggar after another came out, and in an instant, the front of the originally cold ancient temple was crowded with beggars, and the voices of people were boiling.
Looking at the black oppression, An Sheng's eyelids jumped, this battle is really majestic enough.
Su Lao strode up, two beggars, one fat and one thin, followed by him, and the other people followed, all of them with serious expressions and tall postures, like well-trained soldiers, majestic and majestic.
If it weren't for their outfits, it would really feel like a big official traveling.
"This is the kid. ”
An Sheng took a few steps back to get out of the way, Su Lao squatted down, looked at Yin Ziqing on the ground, and nodded slightly.
The tall and thin beggar still looked like a walking corpse, standing there straight, as if nothing could touch his heart. The fat beggar was munching on a white-flour steamed bun, and seemed to be quite interested in Yin Ziqing on the ground.
Yan Wensheng stepped forward, took out the cracked jade plate, handed it to Su Lao, and said timidly: "It's him, I brought him out, but your jade plate ......"
"It's okay, you don't have to blame yourself, I thought that this jade plate would be shattered, alas, this old friend who has been with me for decades has suffered this time. Su Lao took the jade card, shook his head with some emotion, smiled kindly at Yan Wensheng, and put the jade card into his arms.
Yan Wensheng nodded, silently stepped aside, and no longer bothered Su Lao. The courtyard is 100 meters square, and it is full of people, except for An Sheng, Yin Ziqing and Su Lao, all of whom are ragged and unkempt beggars, all of whom are silent and quiet, only the subtle sound of fat beggars chewing steamed buns comes out.
Su Lao looked Yin Ziqing up and down, helped him up and sat upright, then stood up, walked around Yin Ziqing a few times, and then stopped behind him, staring at Yin Ziqing's back tightly, with a slight wave of his palm, the crumpled cloth was suddenly torn, revealing the young man's back.
