Chapter 20: No Door
The first light rises, and the quiet valley is shrouded in clouds.
The broken leaves under his feet made a damp creak, and Wan Mu Qinggan leaned on the mountain forest, holding the halo of golden mist hanging down, standing up the beauty of the mountains in front of him.
"Altar Master, be careful!" Mao Tuan raised his head and shouted, the morning dew scratched the mud on one of his legs, and the freshly chopped wood was thrown at his feet.
Yusheng climbed the branch with one hand, glanced at the chicks in his arms, and they also squirmed at him a few times, and he stepped on the branch with his teeth as soon as he bit it, and only after his knees were stable did he carefully hold them and place them in the nest.
Crisp applause immediately rang out under the tree, "Ah, the altar master is so good!" ”
The hairball yelled excitedly like a child.
Yusheng took a deep breath and glanced at the returning chicks snuggling up to each other before jumping down steadily with all his strength.
Mao Tuan leaned over excitedly, looked at him and saw that he was fine, and helped pat off the plaster on his body.
"Mao Tuan, fortunately you have sharp eyes, otherwise these little things would be miserable."
"Hehe," Mao Tuan picked up the firewood on the ground and led Yusheng towards the forest, "Altar master, you can do that kung fu just now, you can teach me when you come back, and when I learn, I will climb over the wall and cross the tiles...... Hehe, I'm going to get rich. ”
Yu Sheng glared at him and scolded: "What nonsense, if you don't study well at a young age, how can you think about those stealing things?" ”
Mao Tuan's little face drooped, and he said aggrievedly: "The elder said that my roots are not good, and I can't learn the climate, so I let me chop wood and fetch water all day long to practice brute strength." But what's the use of just practicing brute force, it's not like being bored in this mountain all day long. The disciples who were as old as me had all gone down the mountain, and I was the only one who accomplished nothing. I also want to be like my brothers in the mountain, go out and do something big and make a name for yourself! ”
With his chest raised, his steps looked crisp.
Yu Sheng looked at the light in his eyes and muttered, "Otherwise, I'll discuss with the elders when I go back, and let you go back to the capital with me?!" ”
As soon as the words fell, a big smile instantly bloomed on the incredible little face of the hair ball.
"Great! Altar Master, do you mean it really?! ”
The whole person was about to rush towards Yusheng.
"Chai, Chai!"
"Oh, I'm sorry!"
……
After breakfast, Yusheng waited in the courtyard of the main altar.
After the three elders discussed, they found a way to save Ying Zhichu.
Accompanying him on the side is a hair ball who likes to join in the fun.
"Before you came here, the three elders wouldn't have gotten up until the sun was up." Mao Tuan saw that there was no one around, and said quietly.
"Ahem, don't talk nonsense!" Yu Sheng pretended not to know, and reprimanded, "The elder works weekdays, and his age and energy are not as good as those in his prime, so it is understandable that he is sleepy. ”
Mao Tuan stuck out his tongue and sighed: "Playing cards until you are tired for half a night." ”
Yusheng grew up in the mountains since he was a child, and he knew what he meant by his words, so he just wanted to say a few more words.
The closed door opened softly.
Elder Copper was the first to come out, and the gray-clothed old man who followed him was thin and short, his eyes were as big as copper bells, and his sideburns and beards were tied into pigtails with silver thread, which was witty and strange.
"Elder Silver, Elder Copper!" Yusheng hurriedly stepped forward to say hello.
The two elders smiled at him and nodded, cordial and kind, and Mao Tuan saw this situation and sneaked out of the courtyard.
"Yusheng, did you sleep well last night?" Elder Copper asked with concern in his eyes.
"Much better, Elder." Yusheng grinned.
"Hey, the child is young and strong, and he is still so lively after a few days of driving, but our old bones are not good!" Elder Copper laughed and said to Elder Silver.
Elder Silver nodded in agreement, "No, it's better to be young after all." ”
After saying that, the two elders exchanged glances, and Elder Yin said again: "You guys talk first, I'll go to the kitchen to take a look, if you don't star, these little guys will be lazy." ”
"Elder Yin, you ......" Yu Sheng was about to say something.
Elder Silver waved his hand and walked away without looking back.
"Yusheng, let him go." Elder Copper shook his head and sighed in his heart.
Yu Sheng felt strange in his heart, and subconsciously asked, "What about Elder Jin, what happened last night......
"Yusheng!" Elder Copper interrupted him halfway through his words, and his tone was no longer as gentle as he had just now, "Elder Jin still has something to do, and there are serious things to deal with in the gang, do you understand?" ”
The words were coercive, and the young man couldn't help but be stunned.
Elder Tong's vicissitudes of life were slightly indifferent, and the crumpled sunlight pressed into his eyes, but it couldn't cover the cloudiness under the old age.
Yusheng nodded, "Understood." ”
Elder Tong smiled with satisfaction and patted him on the shoulder, "Good boy, you have a chance, you were taken to Jinjia City by adults at the age of 12. He taught you martial arts, and promoted you to be the altar master, and your loyalty to him can be imagined. ”
"But my life was saved by the elders." Yu Sheng retorted in a low voice, he had never forgotten the kindness of the elders, if it weren't for them, he would have died in the wilderness.
"I understand, you are a good boy who knows how to repay your kindness, but you are a manly man, and you are the most taboo about being emotional." Elder Copper stroked his beard and said in a solemn voice.
Yusheng lowered his head and listened to the elder's teachings.
"Yusheng, although our three immortals are old, we can only nest in this mountain, but the beggars are well-informed in the world. We'll find out who this girl is. As for who you are withholding it for, I can understand it. ”
"Elder, I ......"
"The beggars can't handle this idle matter." Elder Copper shook his head, but he still couldn't bear to be this wicked person.
A splash of cold water poured on the young man's heart.
Yusheng opened his mouth, not knowing how to speak for a while.
The sound of chaotic footsteps sounded at the right time.
"The girl is awake!" Mao Tuan ran with his throat pulled, his eyes full of excitement.
Elder Tong and Yu Sheng were stunned for a moment, and Yu Sheng was the first to come back to his senses and asked, "What did you say?" ”
He gasped slightly, not noticing where the urgency in his voice was coming from.
"Wake up! Altar master, the girl you brought is awake! Sayuri is watching over her. Mao Tuan tugged at his sleeve, for fear that he would take him to see it if he didn't believe it.
Yu Sheng hesitated for a while, then looked at Elder Tong tangledly.
Elder Copper's eyebrows furrowed slightly, and finally nodded, "Go ahead." ”
If Yu Sheng was amnesty, he immediately followed Mao Tuan towards the back mountain.
Sikong's courtyard left a long sigh.
——
Half an hour ago
Inside the hall
"Liang Renxu, the daughter of Lord Liang?! Are you sure, didn't the Liang family all die in Qingliu County? Elder Jin said.
Elder Yin nodded, and then said, "When the third child talked to Yusheng last night, I mentioned that she was related to that adult, and I vaguely guessed the identity of the woman, and sent someone to investigate along the way overnight, so there would be no fake. ”
The room was cold and silent, and a dark wind was blowing.
Elder Tong didn't understand what the two brothers meant, and blurted out: "If it is the daughter of Lord Liang, we must take care of this matter." Plus the Purple Moon Pavilion is in the way......"
Elder Jin raised his eyelids, his eyes gloomy, "Yes, if it is really Lord Liang's daughter, this matter must be taken care of." ”
Elder Copper just wanted to nod in agreement, just when he saw Elder Yin's solemn face, he looked at the eldest brother in confusion, and heard him speak slowly.
"If she doesn't wake up, it'll be easy, but if she wakes up, she'll be in trouble."
In a word, it is like a stone sinking into the Dead Sea.
There is no root, no source, and there is no day.
